Some people don't like people to know that they dye their hair.

Yes I know a few people who do this because of their hair turning gray. Which to me is also sort of a sign of wisdom. Why lie about it though to the people that see you everyday or that are going to know. Maybe she has some insecurities. I guess there is just nothing we can do about that. Let her think she is still blonde. Some people just don't want to grow up..or change for that matter.

I admit I dye my hair, but I love my natural hair color, so I dye it as close to that color as I can. So if someone who knew me before I started dying it was to see me today, they may have trouble wondering if I did dye my hair or not unless the roots are starting to show..lol

I think that it depends on the look they are going for as to how they mind if one knows. My daughter loves the more trendy colors where I am more the natural look. I have never really cared that anyone know when I dye mine though. I have a friend that told me once that she dyes her so much and for so long that she doesn't even know what her natural color is.

I understand that when a middle aged lady dye her hair and doens't want people to know in order to hide her white hair hehe. I used to dye my hair into brownish a lot but I didn't mind letting people to know because dying hair is just very popular in my home country, every people dye their hair.

My old man always dye his hair then but for a reason of getting an allergy from the chemicals, he stopped already. Anyways, that's ok with me if he kept on doing that as long he stays confident with himself and happy. In another way, If my daughter will do it on herself. I would fully disagree. She's just a teen.

yes..you r right...i agree with whatever u said.

that's daft. I'm naturally blonde. I dye my hair black because I prefer the look of it. which doesn't mean I'm ashamed of being blonde. I just dye it because I like black hair better. after nearly 15 years of dying my hair I'm thinking of dying it red instead.

Vanity can go a long way. There are some people who don't want others to know they are going gray. They want to keep their youthful appearance. This even goes for their hair.

hello margeryann... usually severall old people dye her/his hair in my country. they do so because they cover their black hair which turning to grey or white hair. and usually they will deny if they dye their hair. but now the situation is changing, many young people dye their hair into blond, brown or even red hair. and they are proud of it. can you imagine the asian skin with blond hair margeryann? it is so funny i think, but i cannot do anything because it is their rights to do everything as they want. nice discussioun marge...

That's what is called lying to oneself. he natural hair color of most Indonesian is black. So when some said hers were brunette or blond people would laugh. Still some are adamant that theirs were brown... I don't know why do they lie about their hair color. Must be having a very low self esteem.

Well, my mother dye her hair often and she deesn't care about people knowing it. It does not matter to her but to some people i think it does to protect their self-image.

i think we should live more our life without giving second thoughts to what others think cause they will always judge and 90% of the time they are wrong. but i'm more up to people being natural and real to their race, hair color and eye colors you know, i think it's more honorable to learn to accept and then love our hair color than to go all the way dying it

I think it's part of woman's vanity. We don't want people to know that what in us is not natural! I have friends who dye their hair and will swear they never did and pretend it's natural! Women always want to be praise but not a word of criticism!

I guess people don't want people knowing they dye their hair because it can be looked at as them being "fake". This usually seems to apply to people who dye their hair blonde... I don't really see the big deal though. My hair right now is not my natural hair color. If someone asks if it is, I have no reason to lie to them. My hair right now is black, while it is naturally brown. I've also attempted dying my hair an auburn color before...and I have added an unnatural red to it this past summer. It's pretty obvious that THAT wasn't natural, haha. I guess if you are one of the unfortunate people that gets grey/white hairs at a young age, you wouldn't want people to know about that...my sister had a boyfriend that had a patch of grey hair, and he would dye it...sometimes. I guess it depends on how much effort you really wanna put into hiding your hair color.

I have dyed my hair a few times in my life. When I was in my 40s I started getting a few gray hairs so I would dye it. After I got cancer at age 43, I decided that was not necessary because I wanted to not do anything that might cause another bout with cancer. I later did it a few times just to do something different. One time when I was in Thailand, I dyed my hair black. It made me almost look Asian. I didn't do it again for a long time. Last fall, I got my hair cut and I decided to get my hair dyed again, but for other reasons. I had heard that sometimes the chemicals in dyes would kill lice and unfortunately I had a problem like that. I got my hair dyed sort of reddish (my niece kept telling me it was purple). It looked ok and it did get rid of the problem. It doesn't bother me knowing that people know that I dye my hair. Thanks for bringing up the topic.
