AIBU to dye my hair bright purple?

[Cleanermaidcook]

Lighthearted
Ok, i've bought the dye, shall I do it? trying to build up courage

I'm 45, mumsy, quite conservative, frumpy boring not something I would normally do but it's summer and I work term time. I feel like having a blow out and doing something unexpected.
Dh is just raising his eyebrows at me.

Shall I?

You look fab OP!

Almost have you tried vitamin C tablets mixed into a paste to help fade the colour?

Im 52 Mine is magenta bright fck off magenta and has been for 2 years. It was teal before that and purple before that. I REFUSE to go gracefully

Go for it

Yay well done OP - also loving the rainbow hair on this thread

Love it, OP. Love all the bright and funky styles here. The world has plenty enough brown ....

You awesome women and your awesome hair have inspired me. Can anyone recommend a temporary midnight blue colour that would work on mousey hair with bits of grey in it?

I used manic panic. It comes in blue too, it's semi permanent and says should last 4 to 6 weeks. I left ithe on for an hour rather than the 30 minutes it said on the tub. Xx

Btw mine was mousey with bits of grey too.

And it took? Brilliant. I've actually been thinking about this for months. Thank you!

EVO does coloured conditioners. You put them in your hair, the colour stays in for 3-ish washes and is then out completely. I have a bottle of pink 😊

Might be an idea if you're not confident you'll like the result.

Sorry to say I am not a fan. Looks cheap to me. I'd get that colour be gone stuff and redye a natural colour.
I'll don't my hard hat now.

Well Whisky2014, it's a good thing that it's not your hair and that the OP probably doesn't give a crap what you think!

OP, it looks great! Mines pink whilst I'm off work

Well she did ask if she should do it :s

I just did it today! I'm 56, and its summer holidays. Pinky purple!

But she didn't ask for your judgement after, Whisky. Rude.

Meh

it looks wonderful. do you think you could manage a Primark spree to get some purple clothes/accessories to match it? xx

Haha it's ok Whisky This is aibu after all, I promise not to come round and dye yours 😂😂 I really like it now it's done but then I am cheap and probably common.

ummmmagogo I feel primarni is above me, May have to trawl the pound shop for rags 😂

Gentian violet. That's the stuff. You used to be able to get it from the chemist. There was a fad for adding a few drops to the final rinse water to give fair hair a sort of beigey look (sounds odd but it was really nice). Flatmate and I got carried away one weekend and decided to add whole lot, as a result of which I had to go to office on the Monday with bright purple hair. Took ages to wash out but it did eventually - just faded gradually away, didn't affect my hair at all. Happy days.

that came across wrong! but pound shop often have purple lipstick nail varnish and eyeshadow actually! xx

This whisky loves it! Looks fab OP

Haha no it's ok ummmmgogo I thought you were being tongue in cheek. My work uniform is purple, pity I'm off for summer. I match my cushions and curtains too which is a bonus 😂😂

Go for it. Purple tends to fade faster than other colours, but if you need to you can always dye it back to your natural colour.

It's great having strange coloured hair. Although blue hair seems to be very common these days. 🙄
