Purple or burgundy highlights

[polka]

Like or don't like?*

I had thought about doing it when I was younger, but never did because of work.  

Now that I don't have to worry about dress code lol, the idea sometimes crosses my mind, but I don't think I could pull it off now.  Plus, I worry about having to do the bleach and color or whatever is involved.  

But I was just curious about your opinions on them.  And if you've had them, what did you like or dislike about them?  



*I'm talking about highlights that are underneath the hair and peek out a little, so they're more subtle.  Kinda like the pic below, except with dark purple or burgundy highlights:

I'm for it. It's hair. If you don't like it, you just change it back.

I don't typically love non-natural colours however if it's very subtle like the pic I think it's really pretty.

I hate the thought of you bleaching your virgin hair though. At least it's not all over.

I had purple highlights two years ago. Loved it. I might put in some pink ones soon.  They had to bleach my hair first.

intentionalsnarkshark you can pull it off and look amazing, cause you have that cool style about you.  I, personally, would look like a mom dork who's trying too hard haha!

@astrid yeah, that's one of the reasons why I haven't.  My hair is very dark.  I only have one pic on my phone that I posted the other night, but it shows my hair: (please don't quote)

You are gorgeous. You could totally pull it off.

At first I read this as tights and I was confused why you couldn't wear burgundy tights to work.

polka, there's nothing that could possibly make you look like a "mom dork" unless you were wearing ill-fitting, baggy, bootcut jeans and stepping out of a minivan with an arm full of Capri Suns.

NO OFFENSE MEANT TO THE CAPRI SUN DRINKERS!!!!!

You could totally pull this off. But you would definitely have to bleach out your hair to do it. Not the worst thing in the world, but it can be a bit damaging so it's something to consider.

Omg that was you watching me this morning?  I thought I saw a pair of nipples eyes peeking through the bushes.

My one girlfriend does the clip ins on a pretty regular basis. She doesn't like bleaching her hair anymore (although it is already plenty damaged from years of dyes) and she often matches her colour to her outfit, or doesn't bother to put them in when she's wearing a ponytail of whatnot.

I think it looks awesome, and she took them into her hairdresser to have them cut in with her hair so they look very natural. They also do not fade.

No.

I LOVE this. I vote yes.

This is coming from someone who is quite liberal when it comes to hair.

Not a fan.

Don't ruin your gorgeous hair!

You know my stance on unnaturally colored hair.

:Y:

I'm not a fan of unnatural hair colors. But if it's something YOU like, you should try it.

I've always wanted to do this, but I am a big chicken and am afraid I'll look dumb. Therefore, I vote do it! You are gorgeous and could totally pull it off.
