What color's your hair? Have you ever dyed it? Or done anything crazy?

I look like Gollum, ask Action Hank!

Except FAT! FAT GOLLUM

I'm a natural brunette; fringe bangs with long, wavy hair just past my shoulders. I'd like to get it cut just past my jawbone, though.

My hair is naturally somewhere between blonde and brown; it tends to get lighter in the summer and darkens in the winter. I do like the color so I've never dyed it. It reaches the middle of my back and is very thick, so it can be rather difficult to take care of at times, but I'm still hesitant to cut it. When I was in second grade, I grew my hair out long enough to donate it. Long story short, the person who cut it made a mistake, so even though it was supposed to come down to my shoulders after it was cut, I ended up with something closer to a bob. I was quite upset about it and have never wanted short hair. Definitely one of those childhood memories that will stick with me forever.

I used to describe the color of my hair as "rat" as a teenager. It just didn't look like anything I could identify. Kind of brown, kind of dark blond, kind of grayish, blargh, I just couldn't figure it out. Nowadays I think it's a very dark blond with reddish overtones. Or maybe it's just brown. Pfft.

I did bleach it at one point, after a few stints with (also blond) highlights. Why? Well, I wanted to cosplay as blond characters. It looked kind of nice, my skin being all pale and stuff, but it damaged my hair OH SO MUCH. I had to use 3-4 different products to keep it from looking like hay. Which annoyed me greatly, since the only reason I went through with the change is because my hairdresser told me I wouldn't have to bleach it, just dye it. And then she bleached it anyway. >_< Long story short, I eventually had to cut it flapper-bob-style to get rid of the damaged parts.

Which reminds me of my inner conflicts with hair length. I love short hair, one of my best memories as a kid at a hairdresser is of cutting my hair chin-length and just basking in the lightness it provided. But on the other hand, I love seeing people with longer-than-life hair, and it's been one of my childhood dreams to have princess-like, waist-length hair.

For now, I've kind of settled on a compromise between the two lengths in the shape of a hime cut. It's basically what Ruby Moon aka Nakuru from Cardcaptor Sakura and Yuko Ichihara from XXXHolic wear, except my side bangs go too far back because what the heck, hairdresser, I know you say the cut isn't noticeable otherwise, but now I have to wait a full year before these grow back out to re-trim so they look right uuuuuggghhhhhh.

...Why did I use two examples from CLAMP? I don't even like CLAMP...

Like this?

That was the only thing I loved about having short hair. It was so lightweight and comfortable! And it was actually manageable – it only took about a minute to comb through, and while I had to wash it every day, it used hardly any shampoo and air dried very quickly... Now I have waist length hair and it's forever getting pinned down or stuck in things, and it gets in my mouth when I'm eating, so I have to wear it up 99% of the time anyway... I have to apply shampoo 3 times to get it clean, it takes 10 minutes to blow dry, then another 5-10 minutes to brush out, and it tangles even while I'm brushing it or washing it... It's a pain. But my boyfriend's like "a woman should have long hair and take pride in it because it's a symbol of her femininity"... and my friends ooh and ahh with envy because I have "mermaid hair"... so I leave it long.

I like it shoulder-length because that way it's a compromise. It's easier to handle and it still looks good on me.

I have super short brown hair.

I have a funny hair story to go with it. I've always had a short "boyish" hairstyle but when I met my boyfriend, he said "I want to see you with long hair! Will you grow it out?" He was bald at the time, so I said sure I'll make you a deal. I'll grow mine out if you grow yours out. Not that I cared he was bald, but it seemed like a fair trade.

So I grew long hair. Then one hot summer day I was all peeved from stress and sweating like a pig to boot and I said, "That's it! That's it! This hair is coming off!" So I took some scissors right from my desk and my boyfriend watched in horror as I cut my hair off right then and there. "You can help even it out later," I said to him.

I was super broke so I had my bf try to cut it even. Of course, my bf is terrible at cutting hair and has no artistic ability whatsoever, so he kept cutting, and cutting...and apparently I had a huge empty patch right on the top, so he tried to cut everything to match that....and pretty soon I looked like a Chia pet, but with shorter hair. So he said, "I'm sorry, but I just have to buzz it..." and off all the hair went. So I looked like a Marine for a couple of months. Sigh, the adventures in hair.

Suffice it to say, my boyfriend made me promise that if I ever get mad at my hair again, that I would let him take me to a professional and pay for it.

That's why I've kept my short hair for all these years. I didn't realize I've had short hair for a long time until I commented about it on another site. I hated getting food in my hair. It seemed to attract mostly sauces.

My hair has always been very, very long as is the tradition of our Nation. As a kiddo, my hair was down to my knees. It would fall into the toilet which was horrific. So I had my best friend cut it off. She was 7, I was 9. You can imagine what a horror show it was. My sister Cyndi said she went into my room and it looked like someone had killed Uncle Fester. They had to get me a cute little pixie cut my friend butchered it so badly. LOL!

Now I cut it when it gets about to my waist or a little longer. I like to have at least a foot or so to donate to Wigs for Kids. They're a great organization!

@evilbunnyfoofoo
Dont you mean Cousin It? he was so wigged out, if you cut his hair...he would die. I am certain of it. Fester was bald lol. Unless, you are suggesting that after said haircut you looked like Fester roflol. I have always loved the long hair on me. Mine was hip length and straight as a child.

I am naturally a blonde but I dye my hair red. I've been doing this for about four years now and I love the color on me

 

[ElectricHarpsichord]

My hair's naturally an ashy blonde, but I regularly dye it a deep brown with red highlights.

I dyed it a lot more in high school and college. I've had red hair, blue hair, purple hair, silver with purple streaks... but now that I'm (kind of) an adult, I'm sticking with a more natural hair color.
