I have mine highlighted blonde since forever. Am thinking of putting a cheeky pink rinse in it like I always wanted.

If it works I will post a pic!

It can look fantastic.
If your hair is long then you can always have the pink chopped off if you don’t like it.
I’m too casual with my hair, I have it cut in a style that I don’t even blow dry so I don’t think I could do that type of colour very well so I’ve embraced the grey.

Imagine,almost 70 and not a grey hair. I'm almost white but I found my first grey hair at 29 or so. go for it lucky girl, if its something you always wanted, now is the time.

You'd need to bleach the amount you want to be pink first and then dye it pink. If you don't like it then you can go back to dark brown with a permanent colour.

Just like this?

When I finally embraced the grey, I dyed my hair pink, and loved it!

However, if you are looking at the sort of last eight washes type colour, then I'm afraid it probably won't take on dark hair.

Why don't you ask your hairdresser's advice?

I don't think you're mad. After all, hair dye is not permanent like a tattoo and you could always have it dyed dark brown if you hated the pink.

Naturally, I don't know what you look like so don't really know if pink would suit you but I think I'd say "go for it"!! If you're not confident, ask the hairdresser to dye it for you.

Go for it, ombré or balayage, will look fantastic, if not chop it off. They might have to bleach it first then put the colour on.

I have always said that when I went grey I would dye my hair pink.

I am nearly 70 and there is barely a sign of grey. I have long nipple length hair which is very dark brown and I have this yen to dye the bottom 6" or so pink. I could always cut it off if I did not like it.

So....shall I do it? How might I do it, as it is very dark and might not take dye? Am I mad?
