since my glorious mohawk was sheared via live web cam feed at husistock, i feel like i should let you all in on any potential changes to my crowning glory.

and i need hair colour feedback.



she's been black, brown, gold, orange, yellow, and has been in a red fades to fuchsia fades to pink cycle for too long.

i've been keeping her trimmed but recently my heart just hasn't been in it.
the sides are all shaggy, the top is too long, i've been restraining it under scarves, and taming it with barrettes.

it is time for a change.
i was out at a goth club on the weekend (savage garden) for a friend of 256's birthday. (goth kate who makes corsets) it was a hoot. she was in a stunning sea-foam green silken gown of her own creation, cinched in at the waist of course. she looked like a mermaid. a beautiful, evil mermaid. you might say siren, even.

i was in a red plaid dress, black slacks, and an orange cardigan. my hair was pinned down as best i could.
i ran into a pretty lady in the bathroom. platinum blonde, loud, and too friendly. she had great hair. almost a chelsea, shaved really short up the back, with diagonal bangs, and short pigtails above her ears, curled into tight ringlets.
"this is hair i must have," i thought to myself.

tonight i plan on making someone help me with the cut.

dearest husi. i can't decide on the colour.
i've ruled out platinum blonde, i make a terrible blonde. it's not actually any fun.
much of my hair has grown out to 2 inches of it's natural colour, brown-black. the ends of what was the mohawk are pink.

what colour do you think?
i think if i dye it, i would dye just the front bit and leave the shorn part at the back brown.
my current favourite dyes are manic panic, and l'oreal colour pulse. i'd bleach it first for vibrant colours.
although i'm kinda leaning towards dark maroon, or even black this morning.
yes, i'm feeling indeterminate and wishy-washy.
what better reason to include a poll and let the whims of the internet decide for me?

CHOOSE MY FATE HUSI!

Sigh. Why can't I find a red that lasts? And doesn't destroy the shower basin.

chants iGrrrl, as she read your diary over my shoulder. "Tell her I said so," she said, "but I can't be arsed to vote." I happen to agree with her, so double my navy vote. And have fun! I sometimes miss dying my hair interesting colors.

It's one of the few colors you haven't already listed and the two-color effect will help you avoid the "kanekalone" look that one unfortunately gets with colors that have no naturally occuring referent.

get it to be plaid (predominantly yellow, black and bright red) then I say: firetruck.  Bright goddamn red hair that you can see from space.

plaid by misslake (2.00 / 0) #18 Tue Feb 28, 2006 at 05:17:13 PM EST
the trouble with plaid is that you can only get it to look right on really short hair.
so i'd have to only plaid the very back of my head, and keep the top one colour. maybe i could get away with streaks of the complementary colour.
it's also easiest to do with a black watch or gordon tartan, so you can bleach in squares, dye the entire thing navy or dark green (thus achieving dye over bleach =  green, dye over brown = black) then draw on the fine yellow lines with blonde dye.
(yes, i have done this before. you use a simmilar technique to get a spider web or other multi colour patterns)

red tartans look best, but fire engine red, gold and black stripes/streaks would be pushing the fashion envelope a little too far over to laughing at me from laughing with me.

This may be too conservative for you by calla (4.00 / 1) #11 Mon Feb 27, 2006 at 10:51:37 AM EST
but seriously it's low maintenance.

Try navy blue on your hair without bleaching it. It'll give your pretty dark brown hair a lovely blue glow. As it grows out or fades it's not a big deal - 'cuz you've got your real hair color as a base.

Another low maintenance fave of mine is creating colored stripes. Just bleach wide stripes in your natural colored hair. Dye the stripes whatever color moves you. I had the stripes in my hair and loved them. It was easy to change the colors. I started with pink stripes, then turquoise, then blue, and silver.

I don't know if any of these suggestions will help, but even if you don't try them now, keep them in mind for the future.

Please post pics, k?


reminds me of dyejobs past. by misslake (4.00 / 1) #19 Tue Feb 28, 2006 at 05:24:17 PM EST
i used to do that.
i used to make my hair (which was long past my shoulders at the time) look just like veronicas from the archie comics.

i'd bleach sections at the crown of my head, the bottoms of my bangs, and the parts that bent under at the ends. then i'd dye the whole thing blue, and get jet black hair with cartoon-y blue 'shines' as if i was cut out from the archie double digest.
it was great.
alas, been there done that.

plus, i do have a good 6 inches - 10 cm of pale pink where my former mohawk was.

You don't dye your hair blue - you dye your hair black.

Bluuee by 606 (2.00 / 0) #15 Tue Feb 28, 2006 at 10:37:34 AM EST
definitely the navy blue. It'll be shocking and exciting!

How much, on average, does your friend charge for corsets, and how long does it take for her to measure and fit? And no, this isn't for me. That would be pretty creepy, and besides I don't have the body for it. But I have a friend who may be interested.

that site seems dead by 606 (2.00 / 0) #21 Wed Mar 01, 2006 at 07:19:41 AM EST
Maybe it's Flash or something. Whenever I visit one of the other pages I get just one dead image. I'll try it on a Windows machine I guess.

Corsets are very, very sexy.
