wanna go total 100% white/grey or blonde to get rid of this annoying 70% grey dull brown ginger look – i have short hair so any kinda half – bottle sized dyes out there or any tips n tricks would be appreciated.

yes i’m old and wanna look cool (again?), plus the other half is older than me but looks much younger. and no she doesnt read this forum 🙂

chhhhhhhheeeers

Dyeing your hair? You’ll definitely look cool…..

Alternatively

DezB has it! …but how?

Remember – you cannot polish a turd.

The PM example above being a case in point. Quite uncanny how you instantly look through the scarf, dark glasses and very obviously died hair and see a 70+ something man…

you can polish a turd, it just looks like a polished turd, and if thats the best i can look right now, wheres the polish.

i heard horror stories of colour coming out purple….

Does it ever look better than not dyeing your hair? I think not.

you mean DD’s voluptuous Axminster pile, his glossy, well-groomed coat of brunette fur, is not 100% natural?!?!?!

*Is shocked* 😯

Collars or cuffs, Stoner?

If you’re happy looking like a polished turd then fire away.

But you will NOT look cool. 😉

A quick google would suggest that if you dye your hair, then you need to grow some facial foliage to accompany your new-found luxuriant locks

OK, you obviously need a woman to answer this 😉

The only way to possibly do it is to strip all colour from you hair first using a colour remover. Then you will have to do it again to get it as light as you need, then you need to dye it the required shade of blonde. It will not work and you will end up at the hairdressers having it corrected, which will cost you more than it would if you’d gone directly to them in the first place!
When you’ve had it done you won’t be happy with it, you’ll be a lot lighter in the wallet, your hair will be fried and everyone will take the rip out of you anyway!!

Stay natural, it’s way easier and far more attractive……………….

@Binners “then you need to grow some facial foliage to accompany your new-found luxuriant locks”
I was thinking of pony tail too. perhaps *thats* too far 😉

and here i was thinking it would be an easy solution, but FlowerGirl has put me off now 🙁

Il Duce and friends, yesterday:

COOL!

I dyed my hair last month and it went violet. To be fair though, I did use violet hair dye.

When I was a 20something goth and it started going grey, it was not just acceptable to dye it, it was expected[/I]

if I tried it now, I would be mercilessly laughed at, and rightly so.

You could always do a Yul Brynner

If you’re a proper roadie you’ll shave it to match your legs and get some marginal aerodynamic gain… Or just get the clippers out…

Once, may years ago, I sort of dyed my (blonde) hair by rubbing my head with coloured gestetner copier paper. red blue and green as I recall. I thought I was proper cool.

but then I do often find myself in the minority

Rebel Yell?

Sorry roady_tony, just telling you the truth! 😆
