Style & beauty

Rather tempted to do something radical!

Evening all.

I (well, Mr P actually) have home coloured my hair for the last couple of times as an economy measure. It looks ok, choosing a lightish red that goes with my skin tone.

Last time I was buying the colour, I spotted a purple one! I don't mean lilac rinse type thing, proper purple.(Although not sure what it might come out like, given the amount of grey I have)

I'm tempted to give it a go, just once, for the hell of it.

I have recently cleared out some clothes that I feel are no longer "right" at my age (57, hurtling towards 58 reluctantly, and with all the grace of a hippo on roller skates) and just feel tempted to a small act of rebellion!

Should I?

Well, I'm sitting here with Feria Scarlet Power slapped all over my bonce, courtesy of Mr P!

I had put it away in the bathroom cupboard, planning to go for a "safe/normal" sort of colour, but himself suddenly remembered it and persuaded me to let him give it a go confused

I seem to have a considerable amount of it on my ears!

Sorry for the delay in responding.

Actually it's quite disappointing, not as Scarlet as I had hoped, a bit darker really. Still, it's different!

Now, what can I do next...........!
