Hey guys,

I want to dye my hair to a dark purple-ish colour but I don't know if it would suit me.

I have very fair skin, freckles, blue eyes. Right now my hair is a dark red, the colours that suit me have to be dark. I don't suit light colour hair dye, which sucks.

I think it may be the freckles that limit my range of colours? The other colours I have had done, is black or a dark brown which just gets boring after a while. It's weird because, I am so pale you'd think I'd suit lighter colours right lol?

So, what do you guys think? Do you think I should just forget dying my hair purple?

I think you shouldn't dye your hair pure purple. In my opinion, black/purple would be better :) https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR7xmICTPBHch4oLaomKOjAdZ4aVPWj4_YR5BCeriLWLQjUnCb2dg

I am a hairstylist and I don't think you should do purple especially with pale skin and freckless you could do a deep deep red like Ariana Grande that would look pretty, but not purple it will wash you out completely and take away from your face...all you would see is your freckles and eyes...but that is just my opinion...You are you don't worry about what others think...

I think you should if you wanted to, it sounds like it would suit you. If you don't like it you could just re-dye it back to red anyways :)

Know your school policy mandating a "natural color, brown, blond, black, natural red/auburn." before dyeing your hair pink, for example: 3-21-12 "Honor Student Banned from School for Pink Hair." a 6th grader who was rewarded for getting good grades.

Red hair gets 13-year-old suspended KCTV-5 Posted: Apr 12, 2012 8:13 PM PDT Updated: Apr 13, 2012 4:01 AM PDT

Recently from YA HAIR: "I have red tips on my fringe, I got in trouble at school and they want it out by tomorrow."

And another: "I dyed it purple. It was supposed to wash out after about a month. Now, many months later, it's still there. And it looks really stupid because it's grown out about three or four inches from my roots. I'm also not suppose dot have it at my job. I've tried dying my hair the same color as my natural hair color but that didn't work."

Three Somerset High School seniors learned the hard way that there are limits to showing their support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month by wearing pink. The teens were asked to leave the campus or sit in suspension when they showed up with pink hair. The teens said they were just trying to support one of their teachers.

HOT PINK ROOTS?

HELP!!!!!! what color can i use to make my whole head the color of ariana grande ah help i neeed to even this out



Style meets chemistry meets biology: We're talking hair coloring.



Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.

Example: "My hair is right about armpit length as it is, but I've severely damaged it by bleaching it all at once. As a student of cosmetology myself, I would have to say that it was probably one of the worst mistakes I could have ever made."

Another example: ok i did my hair yesterday i DIDN'T bleach it ,but im not sure what its called but she took the color out of my hair and then dies it a blond color and my head was on fire it killed me so after that i hated my hair color so i colored it my self a darker color, it looked so ugly and it burned me again it rully hrt so after i washed it my mom checked it for me and found small spots of blood all over my top scalp like over 20 of em now im scared and don't know why its there is it from the color am i sick and something is wrong ??



Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.



Google: Teen 'feared she would die' after reaction to hair dye

The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Hallowe’en party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11



The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. It’s made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. It’s well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.

PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time.



Google: A 38-year old mother left in a coma after using hair dye. SHE DYED HER HAIR MANY TIMES BEFORE, USING THE SAME BRAND. The British woman who went into coma after a reaction to hair dye has died after a year. Updated 11-25-12. The woman suffered a heart failure, struggled for breath and became unconsciousness. Her family blamed paraphenylenediamine, a chemical found in hair colour. Her family has now called for paraphenylenediamine to be banned from home dye kits. In 2000, a 38-year-old Indian-origin woman from Birmingham, Narinder Devi, died after an allergic reaction to hair dye.



Permanent black hair dye is linked to causing leukemia and lymphomas.
