I Really Don't Enjoy the Colour Pink
Yet, I've decided to dye my hair pink. And blue. And purple. While keeping a bit of it white still. Why? I don't know. Probably because I've never had pink in my hair before.
I'm usually a pretty conservative person in regards to how I dress. No skirts or dresses that are less than knee length, the lowest cut tops I have are tank tops, I wear a pair of comfortable jeans and t-shirts most of the time. I hardly ever wear anything that could even show a hint of belly (I'm slightly self-conscious because I'm definitely not where I want to be with my abs- they were so much tighter before the baby, and it's hard to get them back there). I don't wear jeans where my underwear will stick out the top. If I want to, I can clean up really well. I hardly ever wear makeup (actually that reminds me that I really need to go through my makeup and cull a bunch of stuff that I NEVER use) and my nails are usually unpainted (unless my husband gets a wild hair up his ass and decides to paint them for me, which happens on occasion, and he always does some funky-awesome designs).
But my hair is a different story when it comes to colour.
I've been dying my hair since I was 14. For the most part, it was always natural colours- I tried to at least respect that while I was in my parent's house. Then as soon as I got out, I went into the Navy, so I definitely couldn't have anything unnatural (though I did use the spray kind of dye stuff to make my hair blue when I went to the Marilyn Manson concert). Then after I got out, I couldn't do it because I had to find a job. I stuck to conservative, natural colours (mostly auburns- red hair suits me pretty well).
But for the next few years, I will not have to look for a job. My husband will be working while I finish my degree. Until I finish, I can do whatever the fuck I want to my hair. Living in the south, I get some pretty damn weird looks from people because of my wild coloured hair. Especially when I have my daughter with me. I do my hair for me. It's something I enjoy immensely, and the hubs definitely approves of it- in fact, he usually helps me dye it! It's so hard to get the back by yourself... :D
So, yes. I believe I will have blue tips, with a layer of purple above that, then a layer of pink above that, and keep the roots white. I love messing with my hair colour... :D
