So I've kinda gone a little bit "scene kid" in the last few months, and as its getting closer to that time where I finally get to leave the bird's nest, I'm starting to think about dying my hair a different color. The most my mom will let me color my hair is about a shade lighter than what I have it, but that's not what I want.

Instead, I've been thinking PINK. :P

Something like this, actually:

http://skelanimals.com/myspace/highend/1.jpg

There are a lot of different colors out there, but we're restricted by society to go with brown, blonde (which is basically really light brown), red and maybe black if its natural. There are a lot of schools and workplaces that have a dress code restricting "unnatural" hair color, but do you think that's right? I mean, I understand that a dress code is in place so no privates are hanging out or anything, but Hair color? Isn't that a little extreme? And why do people get so bent out of shape about "unnatural" colors?

Your thoughts?

[TheEnglishman]

Personally I can't think of a reason why unnatural hair colour is bad, but I just don't like it. Someone said they wanted to have their hair white like Dante from Devil May Cry but they realised what a bad idea that would be before they tried it.
I once dyed may hair pink for Red Nose day. It was a thing in school and most people only did a little bit, but I went the whole hog. Washed right out though.

[Split Infinity]

It's shunned because it's too flashy for everyday wear. It would be like wearing high heels to school, or a sombrero or something like that. Fashion belongs on the catwalk as far as society is concerned.

[Saturos S.]

Loads of people where high heels to school over here. Well, the girls do.

As for hair, I just point and frown at people with wierd hair colours. For some reason I think it isn't normal. Thus they want to be different, *bang* wierdo stamp on your forehead. No good reason though.

...Though don't ever take any advice from me any asstwat here on matters like this.

[Caael]

My hair gets natural blonde highlights in the summer.

[Golden Legacy]

I generally dislike it. I'm one of those people who thinks raw, natural appearances are best and nothing can change that. That said, if it's done lightly - "highlighting" I think it's called? - it can be fine, so long as it's subtle.

The only time I've ever done anything of the sort to my hair was senior Halloween in high school. My friend lent me his Ichigo costume (from Bleach), and he gave me spray paint to give it an orange tinge.

Felt awkward, I'll tell you that much.

[Lightning Star]

really? I feel like hair is color and fashion is for fun. Everyday life is so drag and boring, it's nice to have something you can do to spruce up life a little bit. I mean, I really was more about comfort when it came to that, but lately I've kind of decided to take a step and use fashion as a way to "decorate" myself.

It's not so much about being different or making a statement. I mean, I'm pretty modest when it comes to most situations. I was talking to my friend's cousin, and he was dressed the way I like to, but then he started going off and talking about getting drunk and smoking pot and all that sh*t. He's a definite steriotypical "scene kid" and even admitted he dresses that way just to look like one. But that's not me. I like the scene kid style, but I'm not that way really at all.

Oh, and I'm glad that there are people who are willing to say they don't know why they think a certain way. It's refreshing to see people not try to justify every single little thing they believe or think.

[Toasty]

Natural hair color >>>>> fake haircolor.

If you want to change your haircolor, dye it a natural color. I've always thought fake colors looked wierd.

I suppose pink highlights wouldn't be too bad though.



I guess it's really all just a matter of opinion. I mean, I wouldn't ever dye or bleach my hair, but it doesn't really look that bad on some people.

[Lemontime]

Pink hair is Dyke hair.

[Lightning Star]

Ah, thank you for your absolutely wonderful contribution to this topic. I love your choice of vocabulary, it makes me feel so happy inside. And the personal attack is just so well shaped. Really, moving.

:P

[Mallick]

People can present themselves however they see fit. However, dying your hair something too strange (or bright D:) it could be just a tad too eccentric. Unless you do highlights, then it can look pretty good.

Also, if you dye your hair a "regular," colour, I really suggest against black. Dying your hair black KILLS your hair.

EDIT: btw, Lemontime posted within the five word limit and was relevant to the topic without really saying insulting to anyone personally, he just stated his opinion. :x

[Golden Legacy]

May I ask what "Dyke" is?
And there's a style I've seen with dark-haired girls, which is to dye their bangs a brown/yellow color, or sometimes even a faint dark red. Subtle and smooth, it's nice if it blends in and doesn't contrast as much.

If anything though, I'd probably be more attracted to different hair styles as opposed to colors.

[Caael]

Dyke: Masculine lesbian

[Nosferatu]

I think we can all agree where I stand on this.

And I like how I'm the only person who put "love it".

[Mallick]

Likewise, I'm the only person who put Like it. :x

Those people annoy me for some reason.

=D

[Toasty]

That's true for me too, but only when it comes to things that involve logical thinking. Some things are just plain illogical, and so the reason(s) for why you hold the opinion you do on them don't really have an explanation to begin with.

For instance, your favorite color.

If I told you right now--that just the other day, I closed my eyes, and imagined that a monkey was in front of me, and that he just magically appeared--would you beleive me?

[Someone Else]

I tend to be more attracted to the more natural looking. I don't hate unnatural hair color, that said some people can pull it off well.

I put dislike though.

[Toasty]

That depends. Were you on acid?

[Split Infinity]

That's not a very nice thing to say. =/

No. Like if this was just something I did with my brain. No drugs. Just did it..

[Lightning Star]

God, I hate to mod and all, but can you guys stop acting like bitchy 13 year old girls and just FUCKING answer the question?




Thank you ^^ There's only room for one of us to fill that role, and that's me, betch.

[Drizzy Drake]

Ya, Toasty....answer my question.

[Toasty]

I'd be skeptical until you showed it to me.

[My Best Wishes]

That picture looks cool but I don't think it would work well in real life on anyone.
I like natural hair colours on girls, love highlights, tips and layers especially. We were playing what you find un/attractive about the opposite sex at a 18th one night, I said hair and I mean it. Girls who have nice, natural, well kept hair is a plus for me.

I see where you're coming from Icy, I wanted to get liberty spikes/mohawk earlier this year with one half dyed black and one half bleached blond (pretty much what one of the Good Charlotte members had) before I realised what a douche I'd look like.

I don't really like extreme hairstyles or colours, but that's just me, it's your hair and you can do what you want with it.

Where's your head at anyway?

[Nosferatu]

I don't particularly care about hair colour as long as it looks good with the style. Although I will say I will never care for blonde hair. Just doesn't do anything for me, not to sound odd.

[My Best Wishes]

Nos is onto something, personally I don't have a taste for any one hair colour.

Allright. So why you do you so blindly beleive God can do such a thing?

I'd advise nobody to continue this conversation. At the very most, continue it in the religion thread.

[Ironsight]

I don't care for Unatural hair colours. I find people who dye their hair Neon Green or Hot Pink to be annoying and weird. Highlights are fine though.

Lets not have another religion debate...

Plus can we have an "indifferent" option on the poll please?

It's a simple question. Why if he can't beleive that I can make things appear, is it possible that some allmighty old dude could?

I'd agree that dying hair a natural colour is fine, but unnatural just seems a bit too 'wacky' for me.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Hmmm from memory of pictures of you Icy, I think that it might suit you. Still, it's not my preference in a girl... But I'm just me. Still, when you do it, get pics up!

Wow Lemon. You need to lay off. Last time I checked, it's proper english either way.


And skidz, I'm not even going there. We settled that debate a long ****ing time ago.

[Blue]

I think on some women, blue hair would be sexy.

[Xelina]

You know, I have black hair and it is pain to change it to any color. I gotten blond highlight and it took a LONG while for it to sink into my hair...

Anyway on topic.

I would love to have some blue or purple in my hair, but since my hair is naturally black I don't think it'll show up well. If you want to not offend people, go with some blond/red high lights. If you want to go wild, get some good old neon color highlights in. I really like the deep chestnut brown with pink combo. Just don't try to do any unnatural colors with blond hair besides brown/black. It'll look bad. XD;

[Lightning Star]

Xellie! You're back! Crap. I bet you're gonna keep owning me with your far superior art skills now, huh? lol

And you're lucky. I wish I could have black hair and have it look natural. And why is it that Asians always have the best hair? I mean, seriously, you never see an Asian with a bad hair day!

[My Best Wishes]

You've never met a nerdy Asian?

@ Icy: Yep I'm back. I have been updating my art thread. I didn't make an 'I'm Back' thread cause I don't think people remember me much. XD;

Black hair is lucky? It is a pain in the butt! People notice more if it is dirty! DDD:
But it is good for hair dyeing... proven if you can get the dye to sink in. XD

And I loved when I had my black hair. I really rocked it well. Getting pink hair was mistake though. But it looked dope for for the tips when I still had it black.

I thought we were calling her the Abyss girl. o.o

[Nosferatu]

How about we call her Xelina? Is that too hard?

It doesn't matter what we call her as long as it ends in Girl, seeing as /gssf/ is a sausage fest.

I call her Kitty. =D

I've been developing gray hair since I was 13. Its been slow in growing in though, but now its more apparent. D:

Well those people who try to color their hair in the first place are punks/anime nerds/rockers.
Some of them look really cool though. C:

My sister just can't stay with one hair color, she's not really anything.
And the person who is being assigned a nickname can't ever choose. I call you kitty, and kitty you shall be.

Never attractive, just attention whores.

[Mycarayne]

Yep.

I know a girl who had beautiful red hair (Have a soft spot for red heads btw).
Then she went and dyed it black, with a blue stripe down the side. What a waste.

"Yay I fit in now"

Pfffft.

[Xelina]

Hey hey, I'm insulted that you call me Atoli... (doesn't like her much)

I was just listing some examples. There are plenty of other people who dye their hair for a different reason... XD;
