Purple Streaked Hair? Why not!

That's pretty much my thought pattern. Okay, the shortened version. Honestly, I've been thinking about dying the bottom 1/2 of my brown hair, a dark purple color. I'd dye over my natural color to tone it down and no way am I bleaching my hair - I did that once and it didn't go so well.

So fast forward to Sunday:
I went to Sally Beauty Supply for some eye droppers (to measure out kitchen extracts of course:-)), and saw IT. Yup, lovely, purple-y semi-perminate hair dye. You bet I bought a tub. Once I got up I looked up directs for dyeing my hair, selected a large chunk behind my left ear and dyed.

I love it! Its more like purple-y highlights when the sun or light hits it then it is a true purple. Which is pretty much what I wanted - something purple-y that wouldn't get me looks from my co-workers and boss.

I know that if/when most people see it, they will ask "Why?" with a raised eyebrow. To which I will calmly reply: "Why not?" with a raised eye brow of my own (I've been practicing my "Why not?" look). It makes me happy. I love color, so why not add some to my hair? In a tasteful way. That won't get me fired or on a probation plan.

My challenge to you - do one "why not?" thing a week! Something that you've always wanted but not done because you're worried about what others will think. Mind that you stay in the laws and stay true to your moral and ethical leanings, but otherwise have fun! Enjoy the simple things like purple-tinted hair. Life is to full of pointless rules, don't impose more on yourself. You're never too old or too young or too this or to that, unless of course you make yourself "too."

And in other notes from the weekend - I now own a craigslisted bike and (new) climbing harness and etc from REI. Rocks, here I come!!!!!!!!!!

Live life to the fullest and "Why Not?"
