May: Would You Dye Your Hair?
Lisa says, "Maybe likes to change her hair color. Have you ever done this? Would you?"

Absolutely! But only for fun. I'm now at an age where I could be compelled to try to camouflage or cover gray hair for real, and I don't want to do that. I never want to feel I need to color my hair. At the same time, if I want to go purple, so be it.
No, I like my hair just the way it is! Maybe later...
YES! I wish I had done it in crazier colors, like Maybe does, when I was a teenager. Now I feel like I should stay brown. Although as an old lady I'm planning on going blue or pink!
I was actually going to dye my hair pink, like Maybe's. But then I found out that because I have black hair, I'd have to strip it of all color first . . . so I chickened out.
However, I do have a pink wig!
Oh, yeah! I had big chunks of pink not too long ago. I'm actually writing a serial-hair-dye character right now, too!
I really like the color of my hair and have never been interested in dyeing it -- not even highlights or anything of that nature! However, if I earned a worthwhile role which required it, I'd do it for that, noting worthiness and within reason.
I haven't, but I'd like to! I want to try red--not a fake looking red, but a natural, darker red.
And I'm with Melissa--as soon as I'm an old lady, bring on bright colors!
I'm brunette.
I've tried to go blond...twice.
Worst idea ever.
I ended up dying it an auburn color and then didn't dye it for about 4-5 years, when I decided to do some purple streaks.
Sometimes I still miss the purple:(
Yep, it's totally empowering to dye your hair a radical colour, even if it's just a strand.
That's so true about coloring just a strand or so of your hair. I love it when I'm in line or someplace, and the person in front of me has dyed a small chunk of their hair. It's like a lovely surprise.
I've tried to go red, but it usually becomes dark brown. I tend to stick to highlights, although there was one incident where one of highlighting colors was bleach, and my hairdresser didn't think my hair would go that light - white-blonde! I do think about doing a few strands in a fun color ... Maybe is much more adventurous than me!
I want to put brighter pink stripes in mine this summer :) I teach, so summer is a "safer" time for me to experiment.
I've never dyed my hair, but I've always wondered about whether or not being a red head would change my life.
I'm not very gutsy about big changes to my appearance. I'm wondering if gray hairs will change my mind...
I dye my hair. Nothing too crazy. Just some reds and orangish parts. It's like having fall on my head.
Totally fun responses. I don't dye as I'm celebrating the gray on my head. But I will put in streaks of color for fun, every now and then.
I would, and I have!
My usual is just highlights, but I've done burgundy, raspberry, and a pink streak! Pink is definitely fun, though I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to go for the pink plunge.
I'd dye my head titian red! It's already browny-red. I once asked a stylist to put red highlights in, but he persuaded me to have blonde highlights instead. I was younger then. Now I would say my way or I march!
