What do you think of people with colourful hair? As in different colour hair - pinks, greens, blues, purples, - big bright colourful hair

[StonePaperScissors]

I always had my hair in a natural brown until last year and I started getting it bleached and highlighted to get some fun bright colours in my hair. I don't want to be known so I won't give my hair colours away but I did a new colour recently and I love it.

I get two reactions.

1. where people love it
2. they hate it but mabe they won't say it but their tone and attitude - I sense something.

For me I think there is too much madness in the world and I am not hurting anyone and I need more bright and cheerful in my life.

Some people probably think I am a clown or something. I don't know. I really love colourful hair.

Just a tip. Blue on older faces can be too cold. Pink lights up the face that's why mature skincare is often tinted pink. I work in beauty and hair and nails are just a small part of someone. A treat, a bit of joy and not permennt.
When I was ill earlier this year I lost half my hair and had a face like a bowl of porridge!

Don’t bother with semi permanent on grey, it just washes out after two or three goes. Grey hair is more resistant to colour ( or so my hairdresser tells me) so it’s permanent or nothing. And then the root line problem starts…..

I wash my hair with a colour ball once a week so it doesn’t fade

I’ve been told I can

it is called Thrive with Hair and Aimee does my hair. 61 The Broadway, Stoneleigh, Surrey. KT17 2HP. Stoneleigh station is a 5 minute walk further up the Broadway so easy to get too as car parking there is minimal.

What do I know, I’ve only worked in 5 different hospitals in 3 regions across the UK for the last 7 years

I’ve responded to another poster but from my experience working in 5 different hospitals in the last 7 years, doctors dread the patients with brightly coloured hair.

Your colleagues sound narrow-minded and totally unprofessional.

Wow! Does being so nasty make you feel better?

Thanks so much! I’m really grateful.

Oops that was intended for @mumofsixfluffs

Really?
I think doctors very quickly assess the patients intelligence, profession etc.
My trainee doctor DD has frequently had coloured hair. Many of our nurses at our large teaching hospital have coloured hair. Her field of study is desparately needed so let's hope she's not discriminated against later on.

In my experience it’s usually matched with Timmy Mallet specs & loudly patterned dungarees. And a TikTok presence.

If this is true, it's very concerning, especially as so many people here see colourful hair as an indication of neurodivergence. If the hospital staff have a problem interacting with autistic patients, then they need further training.

I dyed my hair all sorts of colours maybe 20 years ago...but I think it was more accepted then. Some people can really pull it off, but I do think people judge unatural coloured hair quite bad now as extreme left, mental health, shoplifters or general nuisances.
Although I do really miss seeing the blue rinse..not sure what happened there

Absolutely.. if it’s all ND people or mentally ill then it’s shocking.

Love your reply. Extremist in bold is a gag 😂😂

Really? The proper I know with brightly coloured hair are several accountants, a librarian, an insurance claims adjuster, several civil servants, a cathedral verger, an archaeologist, someone whose job title I don't know but is something to do with university exams, a midwife and a historian.

Why would this be your assumption?

It’s not any autism that’s the issue; in my personal experience about 70-80% of the patients will be the ‘heart sink’ patients. They’ll have at least 10 self diagnosed illnesses, not accept that their tests have shown normal results, keep wanting repeat scans for the same issue when the previous scan was normal, and have tried to sue the Trusts previously

Some of it’s nice but most of it I think looks awful

It’s common enough in ED that doctors will actively try and avoid picking up a patient with brightly coloured hair- I’ve mentioned in another post a lot of the time, these patients have a laundry list of self diagnosed illnesses, will refuse to accept normal test results, refuse to leave the department when they’ve been discharged and have tried to sue various healthcare Trusts

With care like that what possible reason could they possibly have to distrust their medical practitioners or suspect that might be getting substandard care.

Maybe I should try to convince my lavender haired teen to quit her sports team in case she gets injured and the hospital staff think she's making it all up for attention and the chance to sue them.

A question was asked and answered, if you don’t like the answer then there’s nothing I can do 🤷🏽‍♀️

What’s your role ? Only hope it’s not as a therapist or counsellor.
