This troper used to have honey-colored hair with abmer-ish higlights and chocolate lowlights. All completely natural. Then, with age, it turned to a solid dark dark brown, but progressively more amber at the bottom because of growing out and years of sun lightening. At the moment, purple underlayer and white and black streaks.
#141972
This troper knows someone who, as a kid, apparently decided that they were an anime character, and so has had his hair dyed green ever since he was about two or three years old. We really can't picture him with a normal hair color. Kudos to the parents for allowing this bit of creative expression.
#141973
This troper wants to dye her hair purple like Leela from Futurama. Doesn't help that most of the female characters I like in anime (Misato Katsuragi included) have purple-coloured hair at some point... This baffled my mother so.
#141974
My mother used a hair dye that was supposed to be some sort of shade of black, but it turned out blue. She ''never'' shut up about it.
#141975
This troper has had every hair color listed on your average HTML instruction site.
#141976
This troper has red hair,brown eye brows,and uh,blonde "down there".
#141977
This troper can recall reading once that a certain combination of cat genes can give rise to blue cats.
#141978
This other troper knows there's a breed of dog with natural blue hair.
#141979
this troper dyed his bangs blue because its his favorite colour, and because of lady gaga and also because of his recent obsession with manga.
#141980
This troper has an unusual quirk in his genetics that he shares with only two other people in his family; all three of us are redheads with white eyebrows, with a high probability of our hair naturally bleaching stark white by the time we're 30 (one of the two relatives with this condition actually had it happen to him before he died). Personally, he prefers to have it happen, as he absolutely ''hates'' his red hair.
#141981
Why do you hate your hair? You should be proud to be a redhead! (and this is from a brunette who'd kill for that color).
#141982
This troper's hair color has naturally changed color through the entire spectrum in his life, going from black to red to blonde to it's current brown. People who see pictures of me when I was younger swear they never would have thought it was me because the hair color was different.
#141983
This troper's family seems to carry that same gene. My hair was strawberry blonde when I was a baby (but my parents kept calling it just 'red', which confused me) and regular blonde throughout my childhood, but then when I started dyeing my hair in middle school the natural color snapped back to strawberry blonde. More straightforwardly, my sister was blonde when she was little, but over about ten years (she's fifteen at time of writing) it sloooooowly turned medium-brown.
#141984
This troper's hair used to be light blonde (and for a while also curly), but seems to be turning darker now.
#141985
While they're not natural ones, this troper has a couple of interesting examples: One of his high school friends would change his hair color every few weeks ''and'' consistently wear outfits that matched (i.e. he'd dye his hair blue and wear clothes in the same shade of blue). And during a church youth group summer trip one of his friends bleached his hair and it came out seaweed green colored (shortly afterward, due to a dare, he also was sporting half a mohawk. And this isn't hair-related, but he was also walking around wearing one shoe and one boot, due to his other boot falling apart). One of the girls in the group asked "Why did you dye your hair green?", to which he answered "I didn't". Technically, it ''was'' true.
#141986
One of this troper's best friends once dyed his hair blue. Neon blue. Cotton-candy blue. And at the moment? It's flamingo-pink. Yeah, that friend is awesome.
#141987
So this troper dyed her hair a vibrant blue last winter. She was ''astounded'' by the reactions of her (largely Catholic, very conservative) family and (not so Catholic or conservative, but still very iffy about dramatic hair color changes) friends, who kept commenting with apparent amazement that she "looked so ''natural'' with blue hair!" (Once she's off probation at the new job... she's going back to it.) Edit as of 1/17/2010 - she's keeping it blue no matter what, now. Lost the "new job", and to hell with taking it back!
#141988
This troper's mother had hair that turned purple in the sunlight. However, it's no longer visible since she highlighted it.
#141989
This troper had a friend who let her hair grow all the way down to her ''calves'' and then dyed it a bright blue colour. The reason she gave for this? She wanted to cosplay Konata.
#141990
This troper dyed the tips of her hair blue for basketball playoffs. She ended up getting several compliments that her hair matched her eyes.
#141991
I once dyed my hair bright blue. It only lasted for a few weeks, as it was something I wanted to try while I could still get away with it.
#141992
This troper wanted dark hair when she was in 7th grade, so her mother bought her "brown hair dye." It turned out to be grey-hair cover up. It turned her hair silver.
#141993
My girlfriend tried to get me to dye my hair blue, then wanted to know if my sister would dye her hair tomato red.
#141994
This troper will dye her hair bright pink with black and white streaks through it the moment she gets the chance and the money. Or maybe black with pink and white streaks. She hasn't quite decided. Either way it will be awesome. In a more straight version of the trope, a friend of hers has had every color under the sun (including some colors that could only be seen under direct sunlight), though it's at it's natural medium-brown right now. Also a friend of hers dyes her hair red. Her natural color is light brown and she doesn't bleach it, so it makes a really cool vibrant, yet dark, auburn color.
#141995
This troper recalls a certain cricketeer who sported Federation Blue hair during a test match.
#141996
This troper has now met a middle aged woman with long curly black hair with a tinge of purple on one side and a tinge of blue on the other, plus some natural gray in the middle. The purple and blue were subtle enough that at first he thought it was a trick of the light.
#141997
This troper would love to have an interesting hair colour, but they always turn out more boring than what the package promises. She tried violet once and even bleached her hair beforehand to get the colour right. In the end, the hair was mostly red, with a violet tint in some lightnings. Going to a hairdresser to colour the hair might work, but it's very expensive now that she has quite long hair.
#141998
This Troper's big sister dyes her hair all sorts of colors all the time. So much so I never really knew what her true hair color was. And once at a con some dude apparently asked me what her real hair color was my response was "pink" as it was her favorite color to dye her hair.
#141999
This troper has been greying since he was fourteen, and eventually decided to dye back to his original colour (black), only to find the dye was blue-black - now he looks like his hair is gradually going bright blue. And it is ''awesome''.
#142000
This Troper is a subversion, because her hair is black/neon green, but she hasn't colored it...I have hair extensions. To name more examples, I have also had fire-red and purple hair.
#142001
This Troper has had many hair colours, she was born blonde, gradually got darker to brown, went for a few crazy hair colours, mostly multicoloured, and now am back to brown, although my friend swears theres a bit of red in there. I cant remember what my friends natural hair colours are, one has has every colour of the rainbow, currently it is red with a blonde fringe. the other is mostly blonde with added pink or purple.
#142002
In high school, this troper was cast in a terrible play. She vowed that as soon as it was over, she was going to dye her hair blue. No one believed her- until she did it, launching a hair dye addiction that has lasted five years and counting. Since then it's been red, magenta, purple, pink, and briefly dark green, as well as various different natural colors. She can't dye it crazy colors anymore because of theatre, so she has clip-in extensions instead.
#142003
This Troper's grandfather had pepper-gray hair as an old man, but pure white (not light blond) hair as a boy. This was slightly passed down to this troper; although he has mostly brown hair (with the exact shade varying from one follicle to another), there are white hairs randomly interspersed throughout his head. People taking notice of this often assume he's going gray from stress or old age, but he's had these white hairs since he was a baby. He also finds the occasional ''red'' hair on his head, no idea where those come from...
#142004
This trope has had a few gray hairs from 16. Now that she's 30, she's gotten several more. In one place, there is quite a bit of gray hair in a streak, but it's on the under side. It gives the appearance on the upper-side that she has a random blond streak.
#142005
This Troper cannot WAIT for her hair to finish turning grey early in life (as evinced by family patterns) so she can FINALLY dye her naturally dark hair all manner of exciting colors without the use of bleach.
#142006
Literal interpretation averted, but general theme played straight with this troper's {{Yandere}} fuel, who looks somewhat like Rei Ayanami with bright red hair (coke can red, can we say {{Fetish fuel}}?
#142007
This troper had blue hair for about ten years, and only dyed it dark because it got too long to maintain without a lot of effort and even more money (when you need four to five jars to touch up your hair, it gets ''expensive'', and that's not including bleach for the roots). Plus doing my roots and refreshing all the color was about a four-hour process, so I eventually gave up. My current driver's license has it blue, though, and it's almost the same shade as the background.
#142008
This troper is friends with an emo-ish girl who dyes her hair once a month or every other month or so. The color ranges from raven feather black to a deep mahogany/auburn shade, but it almost always has a bit of a violet tint to it, of course, if it was dyed completely purple, it would be a dress code violation.
#142009
This troper went through a few normal colours before discovering that dark purple really just was her best colour. Offsets the blue eyes and Victorian pallor or something.
#142010
This troper was born with brown hair, and the red shade to it was almost invisible because it was so dark, but it got brighter, and whenever there's lots of sun, her hair becomes bright red. Not orange, but really red, almost like cherries but brighter. Seriously, this troper didn't even know this hair color existed until she moved to a very sunny country. she doesn't know who she got it from either, since her mother's hair is not THAT red, and she doesn't know her father at all.
#142011
I've had dark black-brown hair since it faded from white-blond when I was little... but I've always wanted to have dark green hair. As of my last birthday (April 23) I finally bit the bullet and had it bleached professionally, then have since had it pine-needle green, cartoon-Joker-green, duck-wing teal (which is what happens when you put indigo blue over faded joker-green, apparently) and am looking forward to having it ink-blue/black with turquoise and purple (a reddish shade called 'dark tulip' on the package) chunks for my uncle coming over to the states this fornight.
#142012
This troper and his sister both have white hair. Strangely enough, our brother has natural black hair. With a brown-haired mom and a brown-haired dad.
#142013
This troper dyed her hair green for the Rocky Horror Show... I liked it so much, I just keep re-dying it green when the roots start showing.
#142014
This troper wanted very dark hair and went with a color of black that seemed like it would have a slightly purple look in certain light. When she walked out to her car in very bright sun light, her hair looked Barney purple! Hair places really should have a bright light so you can see the samples in dark and bright light.
#142015
This troper recently had his light brown hair streaked. What should have turned out as tomato red streaks ended up looking like a bright pink phoenix nested in my hair. It's awesome.
#142016
This troper once dyed her hair green. It said it was only supposed to last three weeks. Six months later, it finally returned to its natural color (seriously, I didn't even bleach it. What the crap?). She then dyed it blue.
#142017
This troper had tried green in the past. She now has a a bright shade of purple. Said troper also had fun dying her sister's hair flourescent red.
#142018
This Troper has dyed her hair Rassberry pink at least twice. Once as a reward for doing well in school, and the other time for a concert. Second time was Rassberry with Hot Pink streaks.
#142019
This troper's hair has been various shades of blue, green, pink, purple, orange, red, brown, and blonde. She quit dying her hair strange colors for three years but the hair dye addiction has resurfaced. In the past two months, it's been blonde (her natural color), firetruck red, wine red, dark brown, and now sort of auburn (the last three colors were attempts to dye over and calm down the firetruck red accident). She plans to dye it light blonde at her next opportunity to do so and wants to dye ''that'' slightly pink sometime.
#142020
This tropers friend has natural white-blond hair, and once died his hair half-orange for Halloween. He told people he got hit in the head with a pumpkin . . . and they believed it.
#142021
I originally had purple streaks, then blue streaks. Then I bleached and died the entire bottom layer blue, then I recently switched back to purple. I'm thinking I'll go back to blue again once this fades out, since I like both colors equally.
#142022
This Troper actually used a Save File Editor in order to give his female Commander Shepard blue hair. He felt no shame.
#142023
megamagikarp - My hair is, for the most part, a perfectly normal dirty blond. But, in my bangs, there is a pair of hard-to-notice streaks which are almost silver.
#142024
This Troper's OCs make up a whole rainbow and then some with their hair colors. Yuki-Rin, Sebastian, Mina, and Lulu all have varying shades of brown hair, Kazuma, Georgia, Ageha, Wolfgang, Dewey, Nadia, Karin (who has more of an orangish-blondish hair color), and Soren are blonde, Aria and Tajio are red-heads, and Hana, Chen, Aki, and Heathcliffe have black hair. Wait, it gets better. Hatori, Mikuri, Gareth (his hair color is more of a bluish-purplish), and Akari have blue hair, Phil, Lance, and Kaoru both have silver hair (Kaoru's is more of an off-white-ish), Showtarou, Iku, and Kartik have purple hair, Daisuke, Rika, and Thierry have green hair, Sayuki has orange hair, Yulia and Mikoto have pink hair (Mikoto's is more of a dark pinkish-reddish while Yulia's is more of a peach color), and Holden has black hair with blue streaks in it. Yes, their hair colors are natural. As for This Troper, she is considering either dying parts of her dark-brown hair red or green or to get clip-in extensions.
#142025
One of This Troper's friends has what seems to be dark red hair.
#142026
I have ordinary brown hair. However, when polarised sunlight (the kind you get in the morning and evening) hits it, it goes bright orangey glowing gold. My dad says he used to have hair like mine before it went black. My mum used to be blonde before it went like mine. Odd.
#142027
This troper (MAI742) is of mixed race. Anglo-Chinese. When I was young - 6 or maybe 7, when she swore that never would she leave me (but here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah?)... 'ahem', anyway, when I was that age my hair was a medium-dark brown. Now, it looks black unless in strong sunlight. Which, now I live in Scotland and not Australia, I barely ever see. So yeah, even though I've never been paler from not seeing sunlight, My hair has never looked darker. So yeah, I look Spanish. Doesn't your life feel enriched for these irrelevant facts? Lollercaust.
#142028
Troper{{Xkun01 Started off having blueish-black hair.Nowadays it's more of a dark blue.Fortunately not too many people can see it thanks to my hat.
#142029
I dyed my hair bright blue at the start of my sophomore year in college. I absolutely love it, and I feel like it's the hair color I was meant to have. To my surprise, only one or two people have mocked it since then, even off-campus. I'm pretty excited about that, because I'm hoping that unusual hair colors will become mainstream soon so that it won't be as hard for me to find a job that allows them.
#142030
One of my friends has a small obsession with dying her hair. Its naturally brown, but in recent years, its has been brown with blonde bits, bright pink, red, black, black with pink streaks, and it is currently half black half blonde (She is trying to make the blonde half all white, ala Cruella DeVille.)
#142031
Another of my friends dyed her hair bright red for an MCR gig. It was meant to wash out. It didn't.
#142032
My hair is currently a mix of purple, red and my natural brown (my roots need doing). Its been purple, red and a black-blue before.
#142033
ANOTHER one of my friends tried to dye her blonde hair straight to black. It went red and green, and looked so cool.
#142034
This Tropette is currently waiting for her blue hair dye to set.
