What should I do with my Hair? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

KittyBoy · 10th Jan 2010, 01:58 AM

Hey everyone, here is the story:

I am sick of my hair as it is at present, so I am thinking of dying it. There are 3 categories, and I will explain each of them.

Naturals - Blonde, Brunette, Red, Raven, etc... Anything that is a natural human hair colour

Something Outrageous - Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, etc... Anything just out there

Mixed - Anything that is streaked, patched, blotched, etc... Anything that has been mixed in with other colours or shades

Just pick a category, and make a suggestion! Make me proud EC!

I'm sure you'll be sexy in Brunette with red locks

i always think natural colours are best really. i always wanted to go blonde when i was younger but i never did. used to be blonde when i was like 2 or 3 then it went brown.

mmilam75 · 10th Jan 2010, 10:29 AM

I <3 blondes

Come on people^^ don't forget to make the post as well as the poll choice^^

Phoenix · 10th Jan 2010, 05:16 PM

Something natural. You have light colored eyes so something like a blond would go well with them, or something like a dark brown or black will bring them out more.

Zach1992 · 10th Jan 2010, 06:15 PM

Mixed. Jet Black with dark blues. One that doesn't look "OMG look at me!" but still looks nice & stands out.

RaeofLite · 10th Jan 2010, 10:52 PM

Black with blue streaks! I had it and friends loved it.

**Ben** · 11th Jan 2010, 12:57 AM

Bright blue on one side. Bright purple on the other side. With glitter.

**Filip** · 11th Jan 2010, 01:20 AM

I find completely exotic to be utterly unappealing, so I would say: go for a natural colour like dark brown, and then, if you don't like it purely that way, highlight it with something else.
Just a bluish or purplish hint would give a hint of the outrageous without making you look like someone who just came back from a cosplay convention.

Peter · 11th Jan 2010, 01:25 AM

I love dark hair with blond meches or ends...

Ralivar · 11th Jan 2010, 01:32 AM

I think that natural colours are best, although highlights or particular strands of colour look good.

Austin · 11th Jan 2010, 01:52 AM

Keep your hair the color it is now (natural color... unless it is dyed, then kudos to you I can't tell). If you really really wanna uglify yourself by dying ur hair then go with at least a natural color. I don't find dyed hair to be attractive at all. Even if it's a natural hair color, you can usually still tell it's dyed either by the roots, skin tone, eyes, eyebrows, etc etc. "Outrageous" colors are not my thing... and apparently not most people's. (all the celebs would have it

) (if your trying to look good for others... but if you just wanna dye it a color cus you like it that way, be my guest.)

Anyways, my opinion is natural hair color, or dyed hair that looks like a natural hair color you could have.

Again, outrageous colors or mixed is not considered "attractive" to me and a majority of the people, or more models/celebs would have hair like that.

malachite · 11th Jan 2010, 11:23 AM

I guess you always want what you don't have. I'd love to have your hair, mine is just this afro thing.

redsapphire · 11th Jan 2010, 11:27 AM

I like brick red.

Just thought I'd throw that into the mix.

I agree but...

Bright blue on the left, bright purple on the right, and neon-green down the center. Tip with hot pink. Add glitter.

Yeah that would probably be much more pleasing to the eye. Especially if the colours all somehow glow in the dark too.

ColdSnap · 12th Jan 2010, 02:20 AM

if you wanna be boring i think you'd look hot with highlights and a scruffy style.
if you wanna make me drool with desire i think you should leave the main colour brown, but put a huge ferrari red panel fringe in the front.

<goes into objective hair mode> to be honest you have a pretty universal face and are quite good looking so realistically any cut or colour would 'work' with your face, only thing i would say is being quite pale skinned I wouldn't go blonde all over unless you went peroxide white, and if you have highlights have warm honey colours, but any crazy colour style would suit your face

Oh they have sprays that you can apply after your shower that makes your hair glow.
