« on: March 31, 2015, 10:01:54 AM »
i dye my hair really frequently, and the past few months ive had it at blue, but i want to try something new! i was gonna add a poll, but im not entirely sure how to do that, so just reply with what ya think i should do!
so far im thinking either purple, light green, strawberry red, or a bright/neon color!! i want to dye it relatively soon, so i'd like any opinions!!

I vote for purple! for kinda... selfish reasons :blush: it is one of my favourite colours, and I was a partial purplehead myself for awhile and I miss it a lot :huh: in case you are not camerashy, you could post a pic of yourself, I'm sure that would help us recommend your next hair colour to be ^^

on a side note, may I ask what dye you use? the reason why I gave up my purple in the end was that even after trying out 10+ different products (temporary and permanent) I haven't managed to find a product that didn't fade annoyingly quickly into ugly colours (either to some off-pink, or to red. I hate red, so that was kind of awful). I know purple is a tricky colour that washes out easier, and I also have found out that my hair is pretty prone to "throw the dye off", but I'm also sure I haven't tried anything and/or possibly haven't even tried the best products (having been a student that time on a low budget didn't help :P ).

thank you! purple is my favorite color too, so im definitely thinking about going down that route! i always use manic panic, and it washes out kind of quickly if you dont use the right shampoos and conditioners. the ones that dont wash out colors tend to be a tad bit pricy, though! i may post a picture when its all dyed, but that really depends if i can get one where i look decent or not, pfft.

I vote for purple because it's my fav colour and because it tends to fade the nicest out of the colours mentioned.

Regarding what Loona said, I've died my hair just about every colour under the sun using various brands and I would have to say that I had the best results using N'rage Purple Plum (demi permanent). It smells like bubble gum and the colour is gorgeous even after it starts fading, the colour seemed to last about 6-8 weeks :) Splat dye is middle of the road for me, a little messier to apply and the colour lasted 4+ weeks. Manic Panic never seemed to stay in my hair longer than a week, which was always frustrating to me since it was so expensive at the time.

do it purple and green.  Blend the two colors, it would look really cool.

I could never get green to look good on me. It emphasized every blemish, zit, and scar I had on my face. (The whole opposite colors thing) Because I always had bad skin when I was younger it made me really self conscious to have it look worse because of the color of my hair. My eyes are green also so it tended to pull their color and make them look duller than they are.

I LOVED my purple hair it seemed natural on me, however everyone seems to remember me with Magenta which I will saw does wonders at hiding blemishes/ect and making green eyes pop!

I've had these same results with Manic Panic back then, so it being expensive too I gave it up. I might have to look into the other brands you've mentioned, I've never heard of them (but back then I've only tried products available in my country and never thought of ordering from abroad).

yay, purple and green sounds exciting! I'm looking forward to see how it turns out :)

I also use N Rage Purple Plum, I've been dying my hair tips purple for years and that tends to last the longest.  I've tried SPLAT, but can only find the packages with both dye and bleach, also that stuff drips.  I've tried Manic Panic and it dripped as well.  N Rage does indeed smell like bubblegum, it's as thick as toothpaste and doesn't drip.  You only have to leave it in for 15 minutes as opposed to almost an hour with SPLAT and Manic Panic.  I've also used N Rage's Twisted Teal, it fades out fairly quickly, but if you put it over the purple it fades out very prettily.

You can buy N Rage at any Sally Beauty Supply store, the bottle is $10 to $12 depending on where you are.
