What colour do i dye my hair?

[joey11223]

I'm most likely going to colour my hair again, but i can't decide what colour. Here are some photos, one of my normal brown hair and one when i dyed it red last winter. I'm thinking of dyeing it red again, maybe a stronger red this time, using henna. I'm also strongly thinking of dying it a dark purple colour.( soerry about size, i use re-size on photobucket but it always seems to end up the same size when i insert image with the http.) (( it's hard to see the red as its kinda dark, its clearer in sunlight obviously)) Any input here would be great, what do you think? Alsoguys please don't be like this other forum i go on, stick to hair colour, though you guys are way more mature so i don't really need to ask:p

I dunno it sorta looks the same to me in both pictures? Dark purple would be awesome, I think. A few years ago some people wanted me to dye mine dark purple. I think it would have been cool. Anime-like.

lol sorry its hard to see the red in the first pic, its the only one i can find, ifit was in sunlight it would be much more noticable. Well ok looking at the brown hair and my face n stuff, what do you think i should do? Leave it brown, go red(though not bright cartoony, darkish) or go dark purple. I kinda want a change but i want to know if people think it would be better left brown. On a more childish forum where it went off topic and they insulted me( thats what u get from a gaming forum) some suggested i cut it short. I don't think that would suit me at all, but again any input is good, so what ever you think.

[Mes Tarrant]

Those damn gaming forums. Well, I think your natural brown color fits really well with your face. Given the three options, I would prefer that one. Have you considered dying it a darker brown? As for length, hey, you've got really nice thick hair, might as well enjoy it! If I were you I would consider cutting the ends maybe about an inch so it's still long but frames your face all around. But that might be something you might want to do when you're a little bit older. Seems like a lot of guys in their teens like to keep their hair long.

First of all, Joe, next time you need a picture re-sized let me know because "dims be huge". On a more childish forum where it went off topic and they insulted me( thats what u get from a gaming forum)... Ah, the joys of dealing with idiots! I know it well. And finally, why change your hair color at all? Just leave it the color it is and be normal.

[joey11223]

ohh snap igot the re-size working! I just had to close photobucket and go back on for the changes to take effect! Oh... well its working with another image, it seems to take a while forit to start working..

Very 'ghetto' (cool) long hair dude. I wouldn't know what color to paint it :/ Maybe black? But that might look to dark/emo.. Purple would be a bit.. special in my opinion : )

[joey11223]

yeah we dont wanna go all emo, i ams happy:p. Would purple give off an emo vibe? Because i wouldn't want that at all.

It's just really, really gay Okay, it isn't all That gay.. I guess the right shade of purple would be pretty cool. Aslong as it isn't like really crappy purple, it'll be fine.

[xcrissxcrossx]

dark purple would be cool, but i think it looks best brown.

I think that you should get it cut short ie. above your jawline.

Ynot you bastard you just made me spray tea all over my keyboard!! LMAO!! o lol thats class. A question, how did you do that? How that you make it blue butr also have the same shadows and stuff with the sunlight as my originial pic?

[Ynot]

you have to select only the hair (it's a tool called "free select", or "lasso" in most image editors) once you have just the hair, you can alter the red, green & blue values of the overall selection this will change the overall colours, but keep the relative shades between different areas

[joey11223]

ooo cool Hmmm ok, a few of my friends have said dark purple, so its not silly bright but its different and interesting. But do you think its TOO different? Will i give off an " Im a total freak" vibe? In a way i want a change, so even though i may go back to brown, for the holidays( next 2 months) and the start of school i'd like something different.

[Ynot]

a few of my friends have said dark purple You'd look like a teletubby ok, I'm going to stop doing this now bit weird doing a guy's hair

[Mes Tarrant]

If you feel the need to dye your hair, just do it! It's not like you're interviewing for office jobs or something. High school is a perfect time to get this sort of stuff out of your system.

[joey11223]

lol, not that bright. Very dark, not black, hmm hard to describe... well its darker then that. maybe twice or three times darker, ehhh like the red in my first one if you can see it. It's like a dark red, it doesnt stand out lots, a bit more in directlight but not loads. NO NO IT WILL HAVE LEAVE MY SYSTEM!!!! is it still high school in america, whats from 16-18?

[Infraredkelp]

No offense, but you are extremely ugly. Get a fucking haircut jk, go w/ purple.

[Mes Tarrant]

Oh you're not in high school then? Do you have a job? That might change things... In America high school is from age 14 to 18. I know exactly what type of purple you're looking for. I tried to google it but just haven't found the right picture to put up here. But yah I know what you mean, but you'll probably have to get that professionally done though. I wouldn't trust store bought dye for this particular color.

[joey11223]

i guess its still high school yes, just at 16 we can chose to stop and get a real job( though it wont be good), or continue to stay at our school for two years( if they have a sixform college) or go to a college for A levels. So yes im still at school for the next two years and in six form their really relaxed about what u do, piercing, colour n stuff.
