Unfortunately it is terrible webcam quality because I have somehow misplaced my camera. I should take a photo from behind, but it is a bit difficult so I just did this. At least I have some photos. I might see if I can borrow someone else's camera later to get some better pictures. I used Punky colour in Violet, Manic Panic in Enchanted Forest and Electric lizard.
And here is the inspiration behind my new hair colour:

[LittleOrca]

Lovely. :) I agree the webcam does your hair little justice. We need better pics! *Flips tail!*

[bettylibertine]

Cool! More pics please :D

[xXfaitheyx]

whoa!! thats awesome!!!

[Revontuletar]

Oh I KNOOOOOWWW!!! I've asked my best friend if I can come over to his house and use his camera when he has a day off work next. Whatever happens I WILL get better pictures!!! It really does look way better than the webcam shows. It did turn out a little darker and more of a teal colour than I wanted towards the top, but that is just me being nitpicky I think.

[amantha]

Awesome! Green is my favorite color. Nice shirt by the way...I love Finntroll. :rockerdud

[Chromis]

What a fantastic green!

[Revontuletar]

It's my favourite colour too :D And wow, you are indeed observant to notice my shirt, especially when my hair is covering most of it. Well done!

[ouseljay]

That's beautiful. I love green.

[Beckstar]

Kermit lied! It ain't easy being green? Ha, you proved that theory to be wrong. Green looks great on you and you'll have a lot of fun with it.

[Peter]

Utterly fantastic!

I'm green with envy.

[tarn]

Yay! I've been waiting for these pics for ages :)
Good choice on the color and I can't wait to see some better shots. This would look amazing in sunlight!!!!

[Revontuletar]

Thanks! :D It's a nice change, I like it:)

[Wavelength]

Wow, looks great! Looking forward to better pics! :D

And where were those photos of the northern lights taken? They're gorgeous!

[Tisiloves]

Shiny! Does it actually lighten down the length, or is that a trick of the light?

[Revontuletar]

It actually does lighten down the length, I did that on purpose by blending. I used punk colour violet at the roots blended into Enchanted forest down the lengths and a mix of electric lizard and enchanted forest towards the ends. So no, not a trick of the light :D


Wow, looks great! Looking forward to better pics! :D

And where were those photos of the northern lights taken? They're gorgeous!
I'm not sure where they were taken, they are random pictures on tumblr and I don't think they had any reference *shrugs*

[Nedertane]

Gorgeously green! Also, much love for the Finntroll shirt. Wanna be my new bff? :P

[morrigan*]

I love it, green is my favorite colour :D

[Pecheresse]

Pretty damn hot.

[Cara Heather]

looks awesome :D

[Ishje]

it looks awesome :D the colors really seem to match the aurora borealis, (not that I have ever seen it in real live, but it looks much like the picture!)

[Quixii]

Yay! I'm glad you finally got to do it!
I'm eagerly awaiting better pictures, but it looks awesome so far!

I got the last of the dyes I needed for my rainbow hair, so I may soon be joining you in posting dyed pics. :joy:

[Revontuletar]

Gorgeously green! Also, much love for the Finntroll shirt. Wanna be my new bff? :P
Sure!!:cheese:


And Quixii I can't wait to see your rainbow hair!!!

[B-L]

Woooohooo! That's übercoool! Green is my favorit color! :cheer:

[einna]

Looking good! I can't wait for more pictures. Don*t be shy, take many and more ;)

[Nightshade]

I am so, so envious. My one hair regret was never dying it green :)

[RapunzelKat]

Wow, it's so awesome! :bounce: I can't wait to see more pix!

Also, I love that you gave your avatar pic green hair :D

[Revontuletar]

Thank you very much all! I will try and borrow someone else's camera if I can. I really want to get some proper photos but as I said I lost my camera and only have my crappy webcam :(
And yeah, I figured that since my hair is now green, my avatar pic's hair must be green too.

[joflakes]

Ooh, I totally love it!

[Venefica]

Green it is, and it actually do look like northern lights. It looks very pretty on you. Makes you look like something from a old 1960's horror movie. (And from me that is a big compliment.) :D

Thanks! Looking like something from an old horror movie is indeed a big compliment :D

[Mannaz]

Oh wow, it looks so fantastic, and I mean fantasy-like fantastic! Out all the colors I've dyed my hair, green was my all time favourite. I've missed all the northern lights so far but maybe there will be more...

[Venefica]

My hubby is a hobby photographer and so is his dad, so often in the middle of the night if there is Northern Lights he and his dad toss themselves into the car and do to some place with a good view and take pictures, some of the pictures they have taken is amazing. I will ask him if I can post some of them. Northern lights are just amazing, they are magical, like theGoddess peeking down onto the earth.

[rock007junkie]

I love it!!! I often wish I wasn't a teacher so I could still be able to do that.

[Sammich]

So so so creative!

I love how you based it off something natural too. Gorgeous. :)

[Amber_Maiden]

WOW! That's really green! :)

[Long_hair_bear]

I miss my purple hair! :cry:

[Naiadryade]

It looks fantastic! I too await better pictures. Let's see you shine in the sunlight!

I keep thinking about dying my hair green... subtle,though. I have medium-dark brown hair and I'm not going to lighten it, I would just dye over it. What color is your natural hair and did you lighten it to get that green color?

[Shorty89]

That looks awesome!

[bluebird77]

That's unreal! I love it. It's difficult to tell from the picture but it looks like you have green eyes too? That would make it perfect.

[lapushka]

That's amazing. Kind of regretting that I never dyed my hair lively colors (well, except henna red). ;)

[long&blonde]

Your hair is positively beautiful!
Love the shade.
Green is my favorite color too.

[lillikins]

That looks great! :D Manic Panic is boss.

[spidermom]

I love the Northern Lights pictures! (your hair looks good,too)

[speshe]

I love it! Green is my favorite color too! I'm too much of a coward to wear my hair that color, so I'll live vicariously through your pictures. LOL

[IndigoOptimist]

That's amazing! I've had green/aqua before. LOOOOOOVED it! But it was too high maintenance, had to keep redying it every month or so. Now because of the job I'm in I can't have green hair. Pink/red/purple are ok though xD Green and blue are just too weird :p

[terylenerose]

I like it! I don't usually like unnatural colors on hair but I like this one. Makes me wish I hadn't thrown out our old food coloring. But then the green was used up anyway. Maybe I'll get some more, someday.

There are pictures of me on my profile with my natural hair. I had about a year's worth of virgin regrowth (dark blonde) and the rest of my hair was dyed a lighter blonde. I did not bleach or lighten to get this green. That was one of the reasons I did this, because it was something I could do that would not involve peroxide.


That's unreal! I love it. It's difficult to tell from the picture but it looks like you have green eyes too? That would make it perfect.
Yes, I have green eyes too :D There's a better picture of me (with my hair before it was green) on my profile that shows my eye colour pretty well :)

[Calaelen]

I love it! I am so wanting to go an outrageous colour now.

[Revontuletar]

St. Patrick's Day coming up!:grnbiggri
I know right! I'll be the most stylin' at St. Pat's day for sure!!!

I love it! I am so wanting to go an outrageous colour now.
Awww go for it! It would look great on you, your hair is so pretty! :)

[PixxieStix]

GAH! Sooooo jealous! The color turned out amazing, good job and congratulations on it! LOVE it! I can't wait to see some good photos, it can only get more awesome! Love the inspiration photo too by the way. :)

[Maelyssa]

That's completely awesome...and I love your inspiration. Absolutely intriguing.

[gracenotes]

That is AWESOME. I love that it's Northern Lights-inspired.

[Arakazi]

Wow its so exciting! I think green looks great! :rockerdud

[FrozenBritannia]

That looks awesome!! We get tons of northern lights here, but I have to say, I don't usually stay up late to watch them. :o
