Whats the wildest color your hair has been?

Choose between purple, neon green or neon orange! I'm a redhead who went through a punk rock phase when much younger. I can't believe the tacky stuff I wore, and thought was cool back then, including self-pierced ears, done with safety pins, a snow leopard print shirt, with "Sid Vicious" scrawled in red paint on the chest...and I actually went to work that way! No wonder they now have a dress code.

I think my worst is a very close call between sunshine yellow/orange and bright blue. Admittedly both times I was aiming for a different colour entirely, but sometimes the results don't come out the way you want them to!!

I colored my hair for the FIRST time in my life last year - to a very pretty shade of red - I'm not into the wild colors - think they should only be done around Halloween time.....lol

But we were at a cat show one time and this guy (must have been about 50 yrs old) had BRIGHT blue hair! Was hard to keep from snickering at him.

Only extreme color I've done is bright burgundy. I loved it!

I use Wella's Wellite pre-lightener and Color Charm toner. This is the only pre-lightener that is gentle to the scalp using an oil in the mix. I use 30 volume developer with pre-lightening and 20 vol with the toner.

You probably already know that once hair is bleached, getting color back into it is always iffy and it never looks right, not with my experience.

The tabby coloring you were going for sounds really cute. Too bad it didn't work out. But you could say the result was a "dilute" tabby. Women and hair! It's like women and cats -- we never stop!

I think the only color I haven't had is green. Simply because I think it looks like you have moldy hair...

I've had.... blonde, brunette, natural red, black, hot rod red, pink, blue, purple...

My favorite use to be hot rod red...

Umm-pink!! But I loooved it!! I also like to do purple as well. I guess Im not too *wild*....

I've had smurf blue, dark purple and fire engine red and I've had black.

Now, I prefer just nice chocolately browns.

My natural hair colour is darker brown, with natural copper red highlights. My mom always gets mad when I colour my hair because she always says my hair colour is a colour people try to get when they colour their hair

I just know, I'll never cross over to the dark side and be a blonde. hehe

Well to be honest I have had every hair color there is probly, well some by accident and others not, and often I would have 2 tone hair colors I loved it when my hair was a black and I would often dye my roots a red color, man I miss those days

Though I am dying it to burgandy for the wedding (Alot of my family that I never see will be there so I have to stay semi natural even though I am a natural blonde )

But back on topic I would have to say that my favorite hair color would have been this purple color, and I have yet been able to find it again

I've dyed my hair pretty much every colour in the rainbow, but most times the dyes don't "stick" because my natural colour is too dark.

One time, a bunch of us were heading to Canada's Wonderland (a theme park outside of Toronto), so we dyed our hair beforehand. We used blue Bingo Dabber (you know, the little "pens" you use to mark your bingo cards?). Then it rained. By the end of the day, the lot of us looked like Smurfs. It was three days before the dye washed off our faces, and it never came out of some of our clothes.

I did green highlights before, but that's about as crazy as I've been.

Right now I'm trying to get rid of the red and go back to my natural color (dark ash blonde). It's weird now cause I still have red hints in my hair, with ash tones and since I was in the sun all weekend I have BLONDE parts.

I have longish thick strawberry blonde hair. Never try putting blue in thick, strawberry blonde hair. It just doesn't work. Oh man it was funny, it was a patchy horrible pale bluey green...

Then once I tried to go red (not RED red, a nice red), and pack was not enough for my thick hair and it looked horrible and patchy. So I went to the store and put another pack in, and turned it BRIGHT red. Oh man it was funny. I got to work and everyone was rolling around laughing.

I went to the hairdresser that afternoon and spent over $100 turning it back to a semi-normal shade.

I cut it really short and bleached it for a while, and I look back now and wonder why - it looked horrible....

I PURPOSELY had the top layer of my hair dyed hot pink and the bottom half bleach blonde! I was probably about 16 then too, but I wanted it that color! LOL!

Interesting stories!!!

I used some temp dye to dye my hair black, but it turned out dark purple. It was way too dark for my skin tone. I'm pretty pale. I didn't like the gothic look. My sister has the same skin tone as me, but has dark brown/ black hair naturally. She dies her hair medium shade of red, and she looks better that way! She hated being called Casper.....

The mohawk stories remind me of when my cousin showed up to my high school graduation with a bright green mohawk!!! I was mortified as I lived in a small town (surrounded by closeminded people). Luckily no one knew who he was or that he was related to me.
