Extremely odd question about hair dye...

[Hanmillmum]

Well it's done, no apparent harm, and it isn't orange but.....it is really really red [gulp]. I'm naturally more bronze/copper than pillar box red, but I can rock a red for a while. Thanks everyone for not laughing at my silly questions....

Sounds lovely - I did bright red for a while and enjoyed it

Maybe I should dye my hair?....can you get a metallic gold colour?

I've been dying my hair for years. My hair went grey into my early 20's. Of late I have been dying it ultra violet. If I'm going to go grey and have to dye it I might as well have fun with colour.

I did mine pillar box red once and didn't like it so stood in the shower for 3 days and came out with an ear infection and pink hair 😱

Oh Tintin that made me laugh!

I briefly knew a girl who was almost addicted to getting piercings and tattoos everywhere, and then she decided to have a go at dyeing her hair too. She chose a colour that was called "deep plum" and said she had followed the instructions correctly, but because her hair was naturally blonde the dye went bright pink. She had spent the whole weekend trying to wash it out but it wouldn't and she had to come to work (in an office) with dayglo pink hair 😱

i dye my hair red all the time, i try to go for as bright as possible went purpley pink last time, never had any issues, what a weird thing to happen.

It was hardly 'silly' - I mean the hairdresser asked it and then you tried to find out, and only then asked the forum!

When you having your nose pierced? LOL

Bet your hair looks great !

Nose piercing scheduled for Monday at 9, the hair does have a certain Vivienne Westwood vibe and I missed the punk movement by a whisker so seems fitting 😉

I think your hairdresser must have been confusing diabetes with dyeabetes which would be a definite no go with hair colouring 😉

Glad it worked out and you aren't having to wear a balaclava for the foreseeable future 🙂

I have my hair dyed every few weeks, otherwise I would be totally white. My hairdresser is start staring mad and freaks out if I have even a broken nail. She once didn't want to colour my hair cos I'd had a hypo! I asked her why and she said it wouldn't be good if I had another hypo whilst being coloured!! I told her that if I could survive a hypo whilst walking round town, I was sure I could survive whilst sat in the hairdressers. She made me have about 8 skin tests before she'd do it the very first time. Does my head in (so to speak)!!

Weird isn't it, the colourist I saw was worried about hypos, I tried to explain that he wouldn't notice much because my body objects very quickly and I had jelly babies, they have juice, so we were golden. I think he thought I'd be thrashing around or something very dramatic. Oh well, I just hope the elemis lady lets me use the massage chair next week or my treats will have been a total bust 🙂
