I painted my hair

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010 at 7:48 pm

I’ve been wondering what I’d look like with blue streaks in my greying brown hair. I had a box of gouache open on the table, and inspiration hit. Dark blue, light blue, brush. Into the bathroom. Paint, paint, paint. Light blue shows up better than dark. It was fun. But the colour didn’t look that good. Blue might look ok with the right haircut and some other colours in the mix, but the cold colour with nothing else interesting happening only made drab locks look drabber. Nevertheless, painting hair = a good time. Washing it out was also fun. I might try it with another colour.

Starting second childhood early. Beating the rush.

    Blue hair is good hair! :D

    (Except when it washes out to grey-blue and people start calling you the sea-elf.)

    Purple next time? :D

    I do love blue hair, but have never had the guts to do it…

    Penny – I wouldn’t mind being called an elf, but I looked more like the sea hag…

    Emera – I did it again with purple today! I took photos, but the purple mostly looks blue. But it definitely suited me better than the blue. When I’m an old lady, I am so having a lavender rinse.

    It’s the pre-colour bleaching that worries me.
