I know you will. Why do you thnk I’m scared of you 
Ladies, is there something you’d like to share with the rest of the group?
Like I said:
Mental Health Care Professionals Needed.
Must be experienced with Purple People.
Note–Applicants must have more than one eye, and either two or more horns, or no horns whatsoever. No anthropophagics need apply.
In the realm of serious advice… magic8ball, your hair is too dark to take any of the unique colors. You’ll have to bleach it first. See if you can find Loreal Feria bleaching… very gentle on the hair, and doesn’t dry it out.
Magickly Delicious, they do sell hair extensions in colors like purple now… you could always have one put in, then take it out once interviews come around, or put it in a place where you can hide it under the rest of your hair during interviews. I’ve put streaks in people’s hair that were invisible until they put their hair up – tres chic!
Just a note: Feria products are VERY MUCH “your mileage may vary” products. For some people, Feria is fantastic, providing gorgeous colour or bleaching that is gentle on hair.
For others (such as myself, but I know I’m not the only one), it leaves an ugly one-dimensional colour that fades to crap in two washings, and makes half of your hair fall out. :eek: (Thank God it grew back, I was scared to death!).
zweisamkeit, really? I’ve never known anyone to have problems with them. That’s really unfortunate, though. Perhaps it was a bad batch? I do know it’s the only widely available product (read: not designed for professionals) that will actually result in blonde on my naturally black hair, which is sort of necessary if I want anything other than black.
All the same, if it’s a worry, get the bleach done at a salon, or by someone experienced with doing it at home. (And definitely don’t skip on the gloves on bleaching… chemical burns suck.)
Well… see, we’re related. That explains everything, doesn’t it?
And my mother won’t allow me to bleach my hair or use anything permanent. I got red highlights for auntie Ginger’s wedding, and when they didn’t fade after a month, she freaked out at me for getting permanent ones.(I was visiting my gramma when I got them done;she bought them for me)
So semi-permenent colors is pretty much all I can do…
I can’t wait till I reach the age of majority. Then I can dye my hair electric purple, and get my nose pierced too, and my mom can’t ground me or yell at me!(well, she can try, but I’l just stop pretending to listen to her.:))
I let my 13 year old daughter dye her hair a plum. She looks good in it.She wanted to go blue,so we compromised.Her school doesn’t allow any kid to dye their hair, but i know for a fact that some of the girls bleach their hair blond.I figure this stuff is a standardcolor, so if they have a problem with it they can talk to me.
How can they not allow her to dye her hair? is that even possible?
At my school theres a few girls with blue, purple, green and any other nonstandard color you can imagine!
Let me guess… they’re not allowed to have piercings on thier faces, either?
My freind Jamesie has his eyebrow, tongue, lip and nose pierced, and the teachers love him. His hair is also electric red.
Last year teh “in” thing to do was to get you eyebrow pierced.
We have a teacher with green hair, and another with a nose ring.
Now what was that famous Sheb Wooley tune from the late 50’s?
I have never dyed my hair. However, I HAVE dyed my skin. This is where the synchronicity starts.
I was at a flea market or garage sale in my never ending quest for neat stuff. I bought a Magic 8-Ball for twenty five cents. For a time, it worked well.
Then, I noticed that the fluid level was dropping. When the ball was turned upside down, the twenty sided die within no longer pressed against the window. No one answer showed itself. Being a gamer, I decided to remove the die from the ball.
It was not easy. First, I took the ball to the bathroom sink. If the innards of the ball proved to be poisonous, radioactive, or just stained fabric, this would be the easiest room to clean. Then, I sought to dismantle the ball. Pliers didn't work. Awls didn't work. While smashing the Magic 8-Ball with a sledge hammer might be effective, I did not want to risk flying shards of plastic, or have to clean up afterwards. Finally, I held screwdrivers to the window and cautiously hammered them through. When I had bored a ring of holes in the window, I inserted the screwdriver a final time and pried it open.
The fluid inside a Magic 8-Ball is amazing stuff. The smell is a standard chemical reek. But, the rich blue color of it, the thickness of it, reminded me of another fluid entirely. It was like looking at human blood, dyed blue. I still wonder whether some hideous machine on the assembly line punctures the jugular of a Smurf and drains his life into the ball. Then, I thought of Lady MacBeth.
For my hands would not come clean. From fingertip to elbow, my arms were speckled, and splashed with the stuff. Soap would not remove it. Rubbing alcohol had no effect. How much blood is there in a body only three apples high? Over and over again, I heard Gargamel's keening laugh.
Over the next few days, I waited for the dyed layer of skin to fall off. Many people stared. But, only a few asked. I happily explained my slaughter of the Smurfs. People look at you funny when you do that.:eek: You murderer! You killed my uncle!
I would just like to say that last night, I had a dream that I really WAS a m8b and I felll off a building but I didn’t break, and my internal die said “shoulda seen that coming”. Then I had a turkey sandwich and then I woke up.
Very wierd.
One sure-fire way to get the dye off of your hands is to use hair bleach. The powdered stuff that comes in a little blue packet at Sally’s. You mix it with developer and use it to bleach your hair. Rub some on your hands and POOF instantly the dye goes away. You can use just a tiny bit at a time from the packet, too.
