lethargic_man: (green!)

Parti-coloured (not to mention partly-coloured and party-coloured) hair

I've had my hair cut. I thought there'd be enough green left at the tips even at the back and sides that the result would still come out overall green.

I was wrong.

And the result looks rather odd:

So now my choices are:

  • Redye the hair green according to my original plan, and don't worry that the back and sides are brown. (I'm disinclined to go for this one.)
  • Rebleach the hair at the weekend, and redye it green. (The disadvantages of this are that the back and sides will end up a month later with only a little bit of green at the tips, as the hair's so short now, so I'd need to rebleach it again.)
  • Redye the hair some dark colour that doesn't completely clash with my natural colour (e.g. dark blue).
Any thoughts, before I unilaterally ignore the lot of you and make my own decision anyway?

It would look sort of snazzy if you died the sides red or something, though I admit that (a) is crazy and (b) would only make things more complicated in the long term :)

It looks rather fun as is. No more strange than having completely green hair, anyway.

I'm quite taken with the green, so my vote is for keeping it up - i.e., re-bleaching and redyeing. Dark blue would be nice, but green is just so much better IMO!

Angry punk is ANGRY?

Brilliant picture, although maybe not suited for a dating agency ;-)

_Definitely_ die the sides. I don't mind the highlights effect - it looks rather snazzy - but the brown sides are a bit of a let down.

Oh - and dye one eyebrow green.

No, because that would look silly, and I wouldn't want to look silly. ;^b

Another random thought. Shave your hair, then it should all grow back brown at the same time.

I have considered that (or at least going for a number two all over). But I don't think it would look at all good on me.

Currently I'm thinking of going for option 2, and then option 3 when enough brown's grown out that it starts to look silly.

Fair enough

I can just giggle about your impression on your face. I wonder if you have now managed to dye it back the way it was and got it green again.
