justamouse Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 So tonight my daughter got an amazing pair of shears, and two incredible hair dressers came to the house to deliver them. They had been at her classes today. One had bright reddish hair with white streaks, asymmetrical and stacked. The other had a different asymmertical stacked bob with deep purple hair. I want purple hair, now, SO BAD. She looked like a flippin pixie, she was so cute. So, at 40, should I get purple hair? Dh said go for it. :001_smile: (no, he wasn't kidding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnTeaching Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 If it is something you want, your dh says go for it, and it will not cause anyone else harm.... what are you waiting for? Purple hair! Purple hair! Purple hair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquinas Academy Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 My neighbour is fifty-something and dyed her hair purple earlier this year. She said she was getting too serious for her own good, so she had to do something fun. :lol: It looked great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Syne Boardie Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Oh, for goodness' sakes. Do it. If not now, then when? At what point later in your life are you going to look hotter with purple hair than you will at 40? This is not something to put off. (I might be a bad influence. After Christmas I intend to cut more than a foot off the length of my hair. And there will be coloring. And more holes in my ears and maybe a hole in my nose. Mid-life crisis, or something.) Anyway, please share pics if you do this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helena Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Go for it! Life's to short to play it safe.

Myeightkiddies Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 You could play around with some Kool-Aid and see what colors that you like before you do anything permanent. Usually vibrant colors fade pretty quickly (permanent dye), so keep that in mind. You can perk the color up some, when it is time to touch up the roots. Just drag the color through to the ends the last few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjins Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I have an asymmetric bob and got this urge to get purple streaks. I am in my late 30's (not yet 40 :001_huh:) and showed my DH some purple spray in my hair. He said go for it. Picture this... he is in the Army! Getting ready to move so that he can hopeful take command of a unit. (BTW deploying instead now). Myself, used to teach, now homeschooling, never have colored my hair an NOT natural for me color and... have not colored my hair (or bleached) at all for YEARS! Anyhow, he said "Go For it" and I DID!!! BIG chunky bits - both sides. I love it. He loves it. Lots of people comment positively. I have friends who tell me they WISH they could do it or that their spouse could support them doing it. If you contact me privately I will send you a pic. I do have to say that purple is BRIGHT and washes out easily. I have the color put back in to brighten it back up once a month. I have found that going to bed with a wet head is a bad idea because I ended up with purple streaks on my pillowcase! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendi Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Make sure you post pics when you do it! I had pink streaks in my hair earlier this year. The first time I did it, the hairdresser used a soft pink color, and unfortunately it faded out way too fast. The second time, I asked for a deep hot pink. My dh was surprised when he first saw it, but it was cute, and lasted a lot longer, because even as it faded, it was still pretty. I am tempted to try another color. Wendi (I'm 44.)

justamouse Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Alright, I'm going to. Hair grows, it's not as if it's permanent. Plus, I need something to cover up all this flipping gray. Tuesday I get the cut. Then I'll book the color. I say we all do it and all post picts. The WTM midlifers.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T'smom Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I am intrigued. Is there a way to do this yourself? How long would the kool-aid last? I pinned something on Pinterest about using oil pastels to make non-permenent streaks of color. You could check that out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
