Yes please, photos needed. By the way, we have a lovely young circuit preacher who often has peacock blue hair. Last time he visited, he had let his normal colour grow back, and we almost didn't recognise him.

Photo required phoenix ! I would love to colour my hair pink or lilac or that beautiful amazing peacock blue that I've seen around lately. But I haven't the guts. Can I see yours and enjoy coloured hair by proxy?

That's a thought, Roses, but I don't think I'll be trying some of the colours on offer, somehow "Lizard Green" doesn't exactly appeal! grin

Thanks for the replies!

I'm looking forward to going to work tomorrow and seeing what sort of comments I get this time! wink

When I did the pink, one person looked, and then just said "why?"

To which I replied "because I can, and why not?" grin

I saw a woman in a public toilet the other day who had white hair at the back with the whole front and sides in shades of pink and lilac. It looked absolutely stunning, in fact I felt I had to tell her so. My hair is still basically brown with a scattering of grey so it is not a colour combination I would try, so will stick to the red streaks for now.
I am sure yours looks great.

Lona I'm not able to take photos at the moment, will have to wait until Mr P gets home on Friday.

Morgana after years of dying, I gave in to the grey, which actually looks ok, I too get compliments!

Just having a bit of fun with temporary wash out colours, as my hair grows very quickly, just can't be doing with the dreaded roots!

Know someone who has hers dyed purple. Actually looks nice. I have stopped colouring mine. Only to find that it is a lovely white blonde colour
Had many compliments. Now I am wondering why I spent so many years and so much money having it coloured!

I'm sure it looks lovely Phoenix
Are going you going to wait until the lilac colour washes or grows out before applying the pink?
Not sure what colour lilac & pink mixed would make.
Although lilac with pink highlights would be lovelysmile

Didn't they dye Mrs Slocombe's pussy lilac?

Evening all.

Well, the pink washed out and faded away, so as I needed a cut, thought I'd get my long suffering hairdresser to put my next colour of choice on (she makes less mess than me, and I don't seem to end up with strangely coloured ears blush

I had ordered a pot of stuff from "you know where" for £3.50, and it had been sitting in the bathroom cupboard for a while.

So, I booked the appointment, told her it was a "full works" one, I.e cut, colour (that I would provide) plus a bit of torture thrown in, as in lip, chin and brow wax.

I showed the troops at work the little pot, and they thought it was a paint tester pot confused and asked if I was really considering painting a wall that colour.

I sallied forth, with the tub of stuff in my bag.

Dear reader, I wish I had photographed her expression when I handed it over!

Her eyebrows nearly introduced themselves to her fringe, and her jaw began to approach her chest grin

But, after she had asked 3 times if I was sure, she set to with her brush.

I must confess, there is a touch of the Mrs Slocombe about it............

I've ordered another pot of the pink.
