Hair Color Survey

What Color is your hair now, and do you like it?

I have dark brown hair with a few natural highlights. I really like my color now, but that wasn't always the case.

Has it ever been any other color?

In high school I went through a couple phases. First was the wild color phase when I did red, blue, and even green streaks through my hair at different times. Not always a pretty sight! Then I had the strange urge for a long time to be blonde, so I bleached it almost a platinum color. I don't know what I was thinking, but I'm glad I got that out of my system. Now that I've traveled around the world and have explored other cultures, I actually appreciate my dark hair a lot.

If you could change your color, what would you change it too?

I love the look of exotic shiny black hair (especially on longer hair), so I've thought about dying my hair darker. It seems like too much of a hassle though, so I think I'll just stick to my natural color.

What Color is your hair now, and do you like it?

My hair is a medium dark brown with red and gold highlights. Sometimes my hair looks like a dark auburn but it all depends on who you ask. I rather think my hair is a dark auburn but, for example, my bf says my hair is just brown... Everyone seems to agree however that there are golden/coppery highlights and shines to it.

Has it ever been any other color?

When i was born i started out with blond hair. My dad has my hair color (or had) and when he was born he had strawberry blond curls. My mom naturaly has a lighty auburned blond color and my sister has dirty blond hair...So I guess I get the reddish highlights from mom and dad. My sister dyes her hair all sorts of shades from black to cherry. My mom dyes her hair and no matter what shade of brown or blond she uses her hair ends up woith a red shine. She hates it! She doesnt want any red in her hair at all but the only colors that dont get reddish on her are very ash blond colors.



If you could change your color, what would you change it too?

Well, Im happy with my coloring...I wouldnt mind if the red in it would show up more. In a normaly lit room my hair looks more brown than red and the red only really can usualy only be seen in sunlight or in very bright rooms.

I am dark blond. It has some gold deep inside.

I don´t really want any other color, but how about when it starts to go grey? I´m 38 this year, and most of my friends are starting to go grey. My sister, who is three years younger than me, is coloring over her greys. I have not seen any yet, but how does one gracefully embrace whitening? I´d like to be prepared.

What Color is your hair now, and do you like it?

IMy hair is blond. Dark blond and it lightens in the summer. Its an okay color but I like brown and black much better. If i dyed my hair it would look silly on me with my fair features however, so my hair remains blond.


Has it ever been any other color?

Yes, it was green one summer that I spent an excessive amount of time in a pool.


If you could change your color, what would you change it to?

I would have dark brown hair. In between true black and regualr brown. did that make sence?

Hi Watereed, welcome to the board!

And welcome back Uzma!! It's great to "see" you here again.

Fun poll, Jenna! Thanks for starting the thread...

What Color is your hair now, and do you like it?
My haircolor depends on the lighting. Outdoors in the sunshine it appears to be golden blond. Indoors it appears to be very dark blond.

Do I like it? Uh huh...

Has it ever been any other color?
I have never colored it. It has gradually darkened since my childhood. When I was 9 it was almost white-blond.

If you could change your color, what would you change it too?
I could change it, I suppose, but I have no interest in doing so. I like it just the way it is.

I wear my hair 100% naturally. Its color borders between dark blonde and light brown. I do like it and don't really care about its exact nuance. I would not change it to any color, it's a non-issue for me.

The same way one embraces the fall of snow, icicles that form under tree banches, moon-lit nights, frosted leaves and the streaks of silver in an oyster shell.....

In other words, see the beauty in it, rather than judge it with the contracted eye of cultural ageism.

Dave - your golden locks sound utterly magnificent. I wish I could have seen your age 9 white-blond hair .

Thanks for the welcome Dave and enfys.

I missed you all.

What Color is your hair now, and do you like it?

Medium brown with reddish and golden highlights.

Has it ever been any other color?

Not really. I've had lighter highlights, but I always keep my natural brown color.

If you could change your color, what would you change it to?

I like the extremes: jet black and platinum blonde. I wouldn't change to either, though, because I'd look really bad.

Let us know how the henna goes =)
