Who's got an uncommon hair color (or colors!!)? Mine right now is aquamarine by Arctic Fox. I'm about to add some other colors for a (hopefully!) tie dyed effect: violet haze, neverland (which is like a mint green), and periwinkle. 😀
I recently learned that I'm allowed to dye my hair odd colors at work so now I'm reliving my youth. I work at a nature center and do education programs for kids, school groups, and families.
So for those younger folks who've been told this stuff is impossible for working professionals... Not so, apparently! 😁

In 1981 when I graduated high school I wanted to put a purple streak in my hair (school color). There were no (none at all) "alternative" hair colors commercially available. I asked my friend's sister, who was a stylist, to special-order a little tube of purple hair dye for me. So yes; I walked across the stage with the purple streak in my hair.

At some point (mid-'90's) Fudge put out a line of alt colors (Fudge was the BEST) and Manic Panic became available on the west coast. When I go to the beauty supply store I am at all the colors available!

Long story short, I have dyed my hair every color there is (seriously; I'm not exaggerating) except black, only because black would look bad with my pale skin tone.
These days I'm pleased with my platinum blonde shaded in to complement my white-greys. Although every once in a while I get bored and put a streak of rose gold in it. But that washes out really quickly.

I've had pink, blue, green, orange, half pink half blue, purple and green ombre, grey and rainbow. I'm about to get mine done again but I dont know what color. My hair dresser is awesome and I let her do whatever she wants. We both have fun. Lol.
Thanks for this!

Ooh, when you have the new color done show us a pic (if you don't want to show your face, just show us your hair).

Pretty rainbow tones!
Oh, ha - I just remembered that an especially talented old punk stylist I used to know did my hair in autumn leaf colors one year. Wish I had taken a pic of that.

I've only been in one job that allowed unnatural hair colors. So I did four different shades of blue. They told me to change it back right after I dyed it. :_(

I do enjoy wearing different colored wigs. I have two new wigs, a blue one for my Rick and Morty costume and an auburn wig that makes me look like a young Lindsay Lohan. I think it's so beautiful and I am going to wear it for a costume party.
