While I'm not a guy who worries much about his looks (or actually nothing, as I'm a lazy, ugly, fatass ;D), I've got two parts of my body that are a whole lot better than most people's, and one of them is my hair (the other one, my eyes). Dark brownish, long, thick, heavy, and pretty smooth - a lot of people constantly ask me what the hell do I do to my hair, and if I actually iron my hair every day. To which I say no, I just use shampoo twice whenever I take a bath (which is usually every day), and after that they just hate me for having it all-so-cool, naturally. Hey, it's not my fault that people - usually girls - use 5 different hair products; it might actually be putting some many shit it your hair that makes it turn out not-so-good. A few months ago my roommate dyed his hair red - it didn't look that cool though. Still, I was like... maybe I should dye mine? So I'm giving it a go in a few weeks, probably dying it with red or orange (or both) highlights, not the whole thing. Any comments on hair dying? Has anyone dyed their hair before, or are planning too? Should I do it by myself or just it professionally done? Or does anyone think it just won't suit me? Maybe another color? archipelagoexodus.proboards67.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1160692714&page=15

I've dyed my hair practically every colour (although not always purposely), personally I prefer to dye it myself, going to a salon can cost tonnes and if your hair doesn't hold dye well (like mine) it can be completely gone within a couple of weeks, especially when colours such as red and orange are used. A problem you may encounter is that your hair is very dark meaning reds will not do much unless they have pre-lightener in them or you bleach it first. Bleaching hair can be very very bad for it as I have found many times, however bleaching can be just as bad especially when it comes to darker hair, it has a tendancy to go a shade of yellow... Ok I know lots of people will laugh a lot, but I think its important I show exactly what can happen when you bleach dark hair... These photos were taken the night before dying, and the morning after... A problem however with using dye with pre-lightener is that sometimes it can actually lighten the colour that you're putting in... Sounds stupid, but it happened to me last summer, and I'll never forget it, I went from having brown hair to bright pink because the dye I was using lightened the red I was putting in, oh the joys. Don't let me put you off dying though, just avoid doing it too much, its actually quite addictive to be honest, I've been so many colours now that a lot of people I know have never seen me with my natural hair colour...

Though Rupert looks pretty good in that second picture.
And my hair story is similar to his, just with less colours involved. I stick to blonde, blue and pink colours.

I'd recommend getting someone to help you do it. I help my wife dye her hair and with the bleaching. It helps to ensure it's all blond before she dyes it instead of dirty blond.

I'd rather not dye my hair, because I'm growing it out to donate to Locks of Love. :3
I'm almost at the requirement sort of, but two days ago I got it trimmed, so I'm 1-2 inches behind. >_<

My hair is my pride and joy, I started growing it almost 2 years ago for a bet. I wouldn't think of having it cut off now though. Currently it reaches to the middle of my back almost and it's a little shorter at the front. I dyed it black with red tips for extra awesomeness. New picture soon!

I think I'll go for the salon, I really don't want to take the risk of screwing up my hair. I'm considering on dying the tips of my hair now, so it's that vs. highlights. Or maybe I'll just cut some part of my hair and dye it, to see how it turns out and then do it on the rest of my hair. Hmmm...

Dyeing hair is tres addictive... I want my red hair back! One of my friends got me talking about hair the other day and we ended up having a 3 hour discussion on hair colours, depending on where i get a job will depend on the colours I have in my hair next, however i'm hoping to at least dye the underside of my hair red again *hates having black hair right now*
