Fun hair colors! Post your pics here!

here is mine - at 65 yrs old I feel I have the right to do what I want with my hair!

I waited almost 48 hours after color before washing. I have to wash it to style it daily tho. I do use a color preserve shampoo/conditioner.

My funky (for me) hair color is in my avatar. Its blonde on top and dark brown underneath. I didn't realize that was a thing - I thought I came up with the idea on my own. Since I started wearing my hair like this I've noticed lots of people have it too.

if the color preserve shampoo isn't sulfate free, ditch it and get one that is. or, you can try co-washing, which is washing with conditioner, no shampoo at all. I do that quite often and it really does keep the color longer. if your hair is really oily tho that might not work for you.

aww thanks! I needed to hear that today, still freaking out a little inside about my hair "security blanket" being lost.

Everyone's hair looks so amazing!

Dawn, I love your curled hair. I first cut my hair short in 1995, but that was an accident. I wanted the damaged hair from my horrible attempt at home colour cut off, and the woman cut ALL my hair off. I looked like Christian Slater from Heathers--short on the back with long hair in the front slicked back. 

My hair is stick straight yet I decided I wanted short curled hair like Julia Ormond in the remake of Sabrina (1996) The cut looked great on me, but my hair refuses to  curl. 

I'm hoping that I'll feel like going out and getting my hair coloured and cut really soon. There's a Bumble and Bumble salon nearby that I've been wanting to check out. 

Brandy--there are some great colour chalks and temporary colours you could try. My hair's natural texture is very fine. All over colour bulks up my hair texture and makes my hair easier to style and deal with on a daily basis. My base colour is only a few levels lighter than my natural colour, so there's not enough ammonia and bleach to damage my hair. 

No amount of treatment will help my hair, unfortunately.  I have psoriasis and over the years it has scarred my scalp and my hair has thinned so much you can see my scalp all over the top of my head.  The hair I DO have left is super thin and fine and has been damaged over the last several years of using a straight iron.  I go in 2 weeks to talk to a new stylist about a new hair style (something where I won't have to use a straightener) and possibly highlight it.  

Thanks, but it's ok.  I've dealt with psoriasis since I was in middle school.  It was really bad for a long, long time.  Once I began eating healthier and losing weight, it's been SO much better.  In fact, the ONLY place I deal with it now is on my scalp (and only in small patches).  But the damage is done.  I joked with my BFF yesterday that if I didn't think it would make me look like a serious fat cow or the fact that people would assume I was sick, I'd buzz it completely off and just wear a hat all the time.

Oh I love your hair! I love the short spikey hairdos!  

Thanks.  It IS awful and there are times where I have a "woe is me" pity party (because I have several autoimmune disorders not just the psoriasis).  But for the most part, I just try my best to keep it under control as best as I can.  My docs are always like "well during the summer, the sun should help".  Yeah, it CAN help but my psoriasis is strictly on my scalp at this point...UNDER my hair in the back.  Sun doesn't get there, unfortunately.  And if I'm out in the sun much, them my rosacea flares in the worst way. LOL  So damned if I do, damned if I don't.  I will say, when I began doing Enbrel shots for my arthritis, it helped my psoriasis tremendously.
