Envy Hair!

@moffittjc i used to dye my hair a "hot tamale red" but the manufacturer discontinued that color. I've yet to find a comparable one I like.

Orange.. I can't see that being pretty on anyone but I love a dark, fiery red.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Ooh, yeah, I like a dark fiery red too!

I remember being asked by my cousins when i was around 12 years old, "Do you want to get a perm? I'll pay for it!" "No, thank you." I said. "It hardly seems worth it for a style that lasts less than a week!" This was the cousin who constantly had trouble keeping the perm set.

@kobesbuddy Mom would sit me down in front of the television on a Saturday morning and put curlers in my hair. Mom was a smart cookie, she knew the only way to get me out of that bed and over to get my hair curled was to promise me saturday morning cartoons!

@ScribbledAdNauseum My mother gave her 3 girls a home perm each year, to start school in the fall. School pictures were taken the first week, three curly headed Vance girls! lol I don't like strangely colored hair on me or anyone.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I have natural curly hair and hate it.

@Tina30219 I guess it takes a lot of time each day to get it straight then.

I've always been envious of those with naturally curly hair. I sometimes get in the mood to have curly hair so I just wash, condition, brush and braid it to get it curly for the next day.

@ScribbledAdNauseum That is my favorite color is the burgundy

@RebeccasFarm We had burgundy furniture here at one time. Well, we still have the couch but it's in desperate need of replacement.

I think the weirdest thing I'd ever want is a bright shade of red or almost purple. I once dyed my hair a beautiful burgundy. It was just this side of un-natural looking.

Oh no, people wouldn't even blink at strangely colored hair today. My grandmother used to bleach her hair and by bleach I mean clorox. She had yellow, lime green, pukey colored hair.

@LindaOHio She used to color it that way on a regular basis and we just didn't understand why.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yikes! Your hair would be like straw after treating it like that!

I tried dyeing my hair purple once but my hair is too dark. It looked nice in the sunlight though.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Oh! Purple is a bold one. Good that you liked it.

@arunima25 Yes it is and there are so many different shades of purple you can use. I like when I see people that have the purple highlights in their hair. I also like those who do the "peekaboo hair" which is where the hair is colored underneath but the top layer is their natural hair color.

I have used henna several times. It is a little messy to use but it leaves my hair feeling soft.

I feel it's mostly a waste of time. My hair is not naturally curly, but when I want curly hair I wash it, condition it and then braid it while it's wet.

Yeah I felt like it was a lot more her fault than anything else... Funny enough, most of the time I see people with wildly colored hair at walmart. I mean, i do go to very few places, but I never see them at the regular groceries or club stores, just at walmart.

@DaddyEvil Kind of odd how that works out, isn't it? With short hair I look more like my dad, but then most people used to say I was the female version of my dad. He always had long hair. I need to go get my hair professionally cut one of these days, I've been cutting it myself for years.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yeah, I work at Walmart. Funny, that's where I see people sporting the colored hair, too. Pretty talked about having her hair dyed blue for a while but then the pandemic struck... We've both gotten hair cuts since things opened back up but only once... and we stayed there as short a stay as we could manage. (Pretty had 13 inches cut off her hair. I don't like her hair short, but I'm not the one wearing it, so don't get a vote anymore. She looks too much like her mom with it short. Don't tell her I said that! She'll get mad! With her hair long she looks like me... That's the truth, though.)

Not everyone likes to color their hair or feels its necessary, I understand.

It tickles me when I see people out in public with the brightly colored hair.
