Searching through the hair dye at Rite-Aid last night with intentions of maybe, possibly, perhaps doing mine at some point in the future I was struck by how many of the colors were described in terms of food–Honey Blonde, Cherry Red…you get the picture. It got me to thinking what flavorful name they’d give my blonde/brown/reddish mess if they could put it in a bottle.
After much consideration I feel that I can safely say that my hair is Toasted Wheat and my eyes a nice Hershey’s Special Dark.
My eyes would be…blueberry blue? My hair licorice black. And I’d never even think of dying my hair. Not even after the “salt and pepper” starts coming in!
This thread reminds me of a story my ex-wife told me. When she was growing up, she used to chew on her own hair. When her mum scolded her, she claimed she did it because it tasted just like rice pudding.
It’s the nice reddish chocolate color naturally, and I have one bleached bit the color of caramel on the underneath, so I can style my long hair so it shows or not, depending on how I want to look. Or I can just leave it loose, so it peeps out when I move my head.
My eyes are brown and dark green hazel, so I’ll go with ‘Kiwi Hazelnut’.
