I've always been terrible for remembering to take photos. So although I have been all kinds of colours over the years I only have a few photos. Now I'm using myself as a model so I finally have a better record π So here they are!
As a blonde child, jealous of my mothers jet black hair, but was SURE that one day my hair would also go jet black. It didn't!
Many, MANY years later, after failing to become a hairdresser and many weird and wonderful colours, I have a photo of directions turquoise. Sadly it's tiny!
A little while later I ended up green. Which green... I can't remember for the life of me. But it wasn't much different from the turquoise fade I'd been getting before the green. So I might as well have stuck to turquoise lol It was mixed with black.
Then a while later I moved to Cambridge. When I was in Cambridge I went blue, purple and black.
And then bright blue
Unfortunately at the time, people in Cambridge didn't really seem to like bright coloured hair and I got a surprising amount of abuse. So I went black!
It was like that for about three years. It actually really upset me and left me not wanting bright hair for a long time. BUT last summer I got over that and went Nuclear red π
Then dipped the ends purple which you can just see here
And most recent, pink π

Sept 2012: Attempt at pink and orange that didn't quite work as I wanted
Then pink and green, hoping to gradually change the green to yellow (edited to add, didn't work, the green wouldn't fade! So did the following xmas hair instead)

Uh, I love all your hair accesoiry π
you're suiting bright colours, keep it up.
I love the red/purple dip-dye thingy!
You suit all of those colours so well!
Sad about the abuse people gave you for having bright hair though π
The blue looked amazing! a real true blue xx
I love them all, but have to say the pink you have now is my fave π
All of your colours look fantastic π
im sorry cambridge was like that for you =( i was also blue whilst living there & must admit i didnt feel very accepted(esp by security guards! was always followed!) but am glad you're back to yourself now =)
i heart your pink!
Sorry to hear about your cambridge experience, that blue was awesome!
I love the red with purple dip dye π
It is a shame about Cambridge, it made me hate living there π I'd get people walking past making really loud comments about it and laughing. The last straw was one woman saying "OMG what the f*** was that blue thing!" and then laughing with her friends. My boyfriend almost went back and smacked her and he's not a violent person in the least. 2 mins later I was at Superdrug getting the first black dye I picked up π I worked in the sewing machine shop in town too, so I was around people all the time. Oh well! like you say, I'm back to myself now. I do get some looks where I am now, but people in this area of London aren't really used to people with bright colour hair, but they are way too polite to say anything lol
But thanks everyone! I'm aiming for turquoise again now, with peacock colours mixed in!
Your red and purple is pushing me over the edge to try it myself
Oh my lawd, are your curls natural??? Either way, I love them! Love all the colors (blue purple black is my fave) and that POW! hair clip <3
They're mostly natural, but in some photos they're helped with various styles of curling π The more bleaching I do, the harder time my curls have as they're loose ringlets. I've been doing what I now find out is the curly girl method for about 15 years!
Janine, you are simply adorable!!! I love all the colors you've had your hair... and your curls (be they natural or enhanced) are just darling. π
Where do you get your fabulous hair accessories?!
I love the pink, but the blue was awesome! I'm so sorry you got that grief π
Tabitha... she makes them! Check her profile page... there's a link to her Etsy shop. π CUTE stuff!!!
OMG so much pretty!
