I was goofing around with my oldest daughter last night and she grabbed her purple marker joking like she was going to write on me with it. I grabbed it from her and colored a one inch section of my hair all the way from the roots to the ends. She just stared at me in shock because she didn't think I'd do something like that. It was so funny!
So now i have a nice purple stripe...and you know what? I kind of like it! It's only really noticeable if my hair is down or if that particular section falls down. It's right near the front next to my bangs.
So have any of you ever colored your hair a crazy color? Even just a little bit? Was it intentional or a dye accident?

I want purple too...along with blue and cyan. They are supposed to be at the front and sides of my hair but something light. My hair is quite resistant to dyes and spraypaints (well I haven't tried it that much, so maybe there is something out there I haven't seen).
Hmm. I could always do a sketch of it just like old times :D

Try some magic markers lol it might work for you too and it's a lot cheaper than actual dyes. I have some blue color gel floating around here some where. It was my step son's but he left it in his dresser when he gave it to me so I confiscated it. I thought about giving it a try to but I remember it took awhile to wash out of his hair so I think I'll wait til after Christmas for that. My purple marker has faded out a lot already so I'll look "normal" again for Christmas at least!

If you bleach your hair first with blondisma or some sort of hair bleach, the color will last longer, and also when you put the color on and its sitting on there, and your waiting, put a bag over your hair, and blow dry the bag so it heats your hair up inside, and it sort of BAKES the color in better. That is if you are using the vegetable dyes that you can get from stores.

Keep it for few days if you like it. Are you sure that it is washable? I used once washable hair color but it didn't washed pout completely...
Have fun,
Merry Christmas!

lol.. well now ur a cool mom because now your hair is in style lol.
I use to color my hair all the time. lately I have been wanting to again.
I use to do a purple color one my whole head of hair that was a really pretty color.
and sometimes I would get blonde streaks in my hair (when it was brown, not purple lol)
but one time in the 6th grade we had a science project that we called "goo"...well
a friend and I were in the front yard making this goo, which was green and we were messing around and it ended up getting in my hair and turned a little bit of my hair green for a little while which was kinda different..
that one was an oops..lol
anyways, I am glad u like ur new style lol.

LOL...I know my hair used to get that gross chlorine green from the swimming pool in the summer and I hated that, of course it was much lighter then too.
I'll proudly be the cool mom...I drive a Mustang, have purple hair...all I need to do now is drag out my un-mom jeans (err buy new ones since there's no way I can squeeze into my old ones) and get my car stereo working again (with the subwoofers in the trunk) and I'll be all set LOL! I have to be a little careful though because if I look too young for my age people start mistaking me for s/o's daughter and that's just weird.

Wow! Could I have one too? That's sooo cool. I would like to have a purple stripe on my hair too. LOL. Purple is my fave color as you can predict from my username :)
Anyway, I have tried cellophane and the color I always choose is BLUE BLACK. I like it so much because when you go out into the sun it's kinda like bluish in a way.

Cool, purple hair! I have dyed my hair a few times, but normal colors. Except once. I let a friend of mine pick the color. Big mistake. It ended up being a strange burgundy color which my look good on some people, but not on my with my pale skin and freckles.

LOL that's so funny because the one time I let a friend pick my color it also turned out a strange burgundy purple kind of color! When it lightened after the first washing it had more red to it but it was definitely strange.

I have colored my hair many crazy colors. I love being different. I just wished I lived somewhere else where alternative colored hair was fully accepted in society and in all work places.

I can agree with you there! It's not exactly "the norm" here either and people who do it regularly and noticeably are definitely looked at differently.

Man I've had my hair every color of the rainbow. I started using that Manic Panic back in high school and I had my hair blue but once it began to wear off it turned greenish. It was really gross but I loved it when it was blue, the color was really bright. One time when me and my friend were drunk I had her dye my hair but I hadn't lightned it first and it came out so gross. I was supposed to be like a turquoise color but it looked like total crap. I ended up having to use a stripping kit on it. But it is fun to experiment with different colors though.:)

I think some blue stripes are next on the list. I don't know why but I've had a facination with a little bit of blue hair. I can't imagine how the turquoise was supposed to look but I'm sure it would have been fun!

One time (when I was much younger) I got a "wild hair" idea and decided to become a strawberry blonde over the weekend...I'm a brunette. It was pretty drastic and I got lots of stares. I, of course, thought I was just beautiful. LOL

I used to decorate my hair with my highlighter marker when I was supposed to be studying. I mostly used the blue and the pink. I have blond hair and the yellow marker didn't really show up. When I watched Aquamarine, I considered getting real streaks like the girls in the movie. I chickened out.

Why yes infact, i have had my entire head purple before many times :)
AND when i went in to get it perfessionally done once, they had asked me if i was on any medication and i told them i was, and they used some sort of dye they were not sposed to. it turned my hair GREEN. I was no impressed in the least.
As a teenager, i had bleached hair more of the time, and with no job, and my parents wouldnt buy my crazy colored hairdye, i used to use markers on my hair too, just stripes. WARNING. Do not go out into the rain. lol. You will have purple skin and purple clothes where ever it drips!

Oh that's cool, you should take a picture so everyone can see your new look..lol
I love putting different colors in my hair. I especially do this when I dance, I have had red and gold which I thought was really pretty.. Of course mine was a wash out kind, if your daughters purple marker is not water color, then you may have that there for a while. But if it looks good, great..:)

I couldn't get the camera to pick it up enough, the coloring isn't great on it...same cell phone I took my avatar pic with. Red and gold do sound pretty! Probably wouldn't work the same on me but still...
I think I may seriously look into actual hair color in different colors, I'm really enjoying this little splash of purple.

I used to do things like that all the time. I started out buy coloring my hair with a marker and then it went to me dying it crazy colors. I never went to crazy and it always looked goo too atleast.
