Beautiful hair can be a natural colour too, I guess I just feel sick of being ordinary and want to become something extraordinary. Inside and out. Of course it's hard to make radical changes to ones' looks when also in a relationship - I'm not really one to rock-the-boat and I don't want to start now. I suggest to him what I like and what I think looks good on him (and how dramatic haircuts make it hard for me to recognise him at work since I'm blind and also a terrible girlfriend) and he listens. So it's not fair on him for me not to listen to him when he says he likes my long hair and to do crazy permanent stuff to it that he may not like. It's not just about pleasing myself and being free and independent, I have to be a good partner to him and compromise I guess.
Wild colour hair just seems to go well with bright coloured clothes, pastel as well as wearing all black. Even if the colour in your hair fades into some weird and wild different colours from the first time it was applied, it's a good journey and change is always good. That's I guess what I feel like most, some sort of weird hair virgin that doesn't believe in trimming or haircuts or colouring anymore. I had some streaks in some weird places during my junior years of high school and looking back, they did not look good. At all.
So I am tentative, although it's never really good when your hairdresser is a friend of your mother's and although they completely screwed up and your hair looks horrible to you and you hate it you just have to smile and nod and say thank you.

Mixing colours such as these remind me so much of My Little Pony, I really want to start collecting them from Op Shop and buy nice ones from eBay- this is a terrible idea since I already have expensive habits (film photography, not drugs or smoking or alcohol). It's just so wild, a little New wave and modern.

I can think of a few solutions for my hair colour fetish at the moment:
- Make the commitment and dip dye my ends,
the dyes available on eBay are about $25 not including postage and there is a large range of colours to choose from. The only thing is that since I have deep brown hair, often described as black by my retina challenged friends is that it would need to be treated so I can't really get it done at home by myself since I need peroxide. So I can't really joke to my parents that it's not a big deal and stuff. Also, if they do make me get rid of it I'm like to cut the ends of my hair after the treatment and not really lose any length, just the very dried out dead ends. Although if I get my hair dip dyed at a saloon I'll bet they'll make me get a trim to my ends anyway for the health of my hair... that means two hair cuts and no colour in the end if my parents crack it. - Buy cheap eye shadow from eBay.
On Vogue forums (which is where this whole fascination with coloured hair was ignited again), there is a new product by Kevin Murphy, celebrity hair stylist called Color.Bug, but in an earlier video before the product was introduced, he uses dyed pigments from eye shadow crushed up in a big tub and rubs it through a model's hair once he rubs through some product and blow dries it before it's pressed it. The great thing about this method is that for a brunette it also colours the hair and if the hair is wet the colour is even more intense. So there's no commitment to this method and bright colour and no trouble with parents but it looks difficult to try if you haven't done it before and you're not very hair savvy. It's a look I would want to vary and that can be done- dip dye hair one day, all colour the next and then maybe a whole pink ponytail. I could use it to get into working at retail at some places that are cool and like hipster things I bet... - Buy Kevin Murphy's Color.Bug- which comes in three different colours purple, orange and pink. Problem is I would want to mix it up with different variations and that can be done when combining the different colours together. My hair could look like a sunset! It would take the same amount of time to apply as the eye shadow but without having to grind it all up and store a tub of crushed eye shadow in my room. The packaging and size of the applicator would make it handy to use and perhaps a little easier. Once again it washes out in one rinse and is a one time use with bright vivid colour if you're a brunette.
