Nice. Not terribly "freaky" though if you ask me. Of course, I have purple hair, so I may be no judge.
On a personal note, what do you do for a living? I personally find that unusual hair colourings can get employers all worked up. It's right up there with piercings.

Ahhh, there in lies the key Gale...
I am self employed for all intents and purposes. I am in construction, I deal with builders and some GCs, but I am no-ones employee. That helps a bit, BUT I doubt I would ever work for someone who would forbid me to do such things to my hair or body, just not my style.

Well, I'm hoping to find someone to work for that lets me look like I want but I'm just coming out of university and I owe like a billion dollars in student loans so I can't afford to be picky. Good to know that some people get to express their individuality!

If it weren't for the fact that I regularly meet with clients, I would have full liberty to get as freaky as I want.
There are pictures out there somewhere, where I have both green and purple hair.

Blond! Huh. That's for normal people. That's what colour I am while I'm decided what colour I really want to be!
Oh, and on a slightly more serious note. I have met with clients (I'm a project manager for a small Internet company) with purple hair and I don't seem to have any problems. It seems that a professional attitude overcomes the superficial. I'm part-time and I need a full time job soon and that's what I don't think will let me keep me hair.

Yeah ain't it funny, I thought that when any hopes of a career in modeling were dashed at an early age (perhaps b4 birth!) that I no longer had to worry about my looks helpin me keep or get a job. I had Loooooooong hair once and did the cut to get a job trick, it was time for it to go, but was still tough to swallow. I am gald I will never be in that position again. I guess as far as hair goes it's cheaper than a new Tatt!

I died my son's hair green about a week ago and it turned out great. I deep conditioned it and I've never seen hair shine so much! I was impressed with myself.
Note to someone with Tweety Bird Yellow . . . I may be able to fix that for you but it'll cost you!! (snicker, snicker!) (evil) ;)

I HATE it when someone comes up to me and asks me "why aren't you smiling" or says "smile"! Why? I'm by myself, sitting by myself, why should I be smiling? People don't go around smiling all the time...... or do they?

See - I get the exact opposite all the time. "Hey, what are you smiling about?" Can't a girl just be happy?

Ducky:
I like the orange on you!
I too wanted red about two summers ago and got orange, didn't like it much. I of course spend big bucks in a salon and got orange! DUH! I don't go to that stylist any more, after she did me with the Tweety Bird Yellow and couldn't fix it, I told her bye. ( I had ask for platinum blond)
I can check to see what brand color I used on my son if you would like. It came out pretty true to the color on the swatch. Did you bleach your hair first? Did it actually come out almost white or was it more of a yellow with some orange in it? I was a little worried about the color because my son and I have a redish highlights to our hair and when you bleach it you have to use an neutralizer to tone down the orange that's still in it. But no worries, it turned out great! He still has hair (I didn't burn it off his head with the chemicals), and it's a darn nice green color.
Blue is a nice color as well, but of course you know most of us have a soft spot for the sky blue.:)Diva

Oh, seeing as I have a lot of experience in this area, if anyone wants to know, I do this:
You have to bleach your hair unless it is already blond.
And then the coloured dye I use is called Jeans Haircolouring. It's only available in salons but it's well worth the money because of the trueness of colour and its lasting power. Also, you can mix colours to get the shade you want. I've used Fudge, which is really popular but after trying Jeans I'm totally converted.

Diva n Gale,
Yes I did bleach my hair before dying it as I have brown hair to start with. I used the only thing I could find that resembled a true red on the box, "Clairol Extreme Color FX" I think? I redyed tonight with the leftover red. It was not the type of dye you had to mix so I had lots leftover. It came out a little better but not quite what i wanted still.
