ANNOUNCEMENT: I am now a redhead...(pics)

[WannaBeGrumpy]

...I used a dye that will was out in 10 shampoos just to see what I looked like...
I like it so I think I will go permanent!










What do you think?

[KamaAina]

1. Do one with teh kitteh!

Might make for a nice contrast.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

4. Here you go...me and my baby...

[KamaAina]

6. Meeeeeooowwwww!

(for Kittimus, of course :-) )

[sniffa]

10. Awww

:loveya:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

11. he was not too happy that I took him away from his bug-hunting...

he yelled at me a lot and was very difficult in having his picture taken.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear WannaBeGrumpy!

I think you look stunning!

That color looks like it's really yours!

You are a beautiful young woman...

Have fun with your hair!

:hug:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

5. Thanks...this is my first venture into ....

something other than my natural color. :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Nice shirt.

Where'd you get it?

[WannaBeGrumpy]

7. It's my mother's,,,,

it was the only clean thing that matched my skirt...you don't understand...i needed it!

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. It was not the only clean thing and your mother has excellent taste.

:hi:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

9. it was the only clean thing that MATCHED!!!

can i borrow your sims?...please?


(edited to add the word please)

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. I don't know where they are and what have you done for me lately

and nice of you to wait for your hairstylist. For me to read, further down about "drugstore dye" (It's TINT) from my own daughter's mouth...it kills.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

27. I have loved you...i think they are somewher in your room or in...

the kitchen or dining area....i think...i just was doing it to see what it looked like! sheesh

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. Double sheesh...

and an eye rollie :eyes:

Never put drugstore tint in you hair. It's horrible.

[latebloomer]

87. Hair question for you, MrsG

What's bad about drugstore dye?

I was thinking about using semi-permanent or temporary dye because I've got a whole lot of gray coming in post-chemo, and I've heard permanent dark dye might be carcinogenic.

[ScreamingMeemie]

94. One, professional color is usually much, much cheaper than

what you find at a drugstore (and most sales people will help you with formulas). Two, sometimes the tints found in drugstores have metallic additives and that can react with other color, later on down the line, is more susceptible to the sun doing "odd" stuff to it, and react with other chemical treatments. I have seen people use drugstore tint and it's fine, and even nice looking. I was just stunned that my daughter went and did that, having a hairstylist for a mom and all. ;) If you did go drugstore you will probably be fine. Professional grade is just gentler to your hair,easier to work with and doesn't fade as badly.

[latebloomer]

95. Thanks!

I'll probably just wait till my hair grows a little more and then go back to my stylist. I think she'll do semi since I'm now afraid of the permanent. I had dyed my hair (first at home and then in the salon) for 10 years and now get to see how much gray I actually have. :(

Not that I should attempt it,but where do you buy professional grade?

All the best to you! :hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

70. I was wondering if you knew what she'd been up to *lol* I have spent years

using the drugstore stuff myself and always have ends darker than my roots when I first color. :P

[Iggo]

12. Aww...it goes with your dots.

Very cute, I say.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

18. I love my dots...

in my graduation pictures...they airbrushed them out :(

[Redbear]

13. The hair is beautiful!

Cool necklace as well.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

19. the necklace was free at a thrift store...

where i bought 2 skirts for a total of $6 :)

[tigereye]

14. very pretty!

I wish I had the coloration to go red. But alas, I do not.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

20. I always wanted to go red but never got to do it...

until now! I love it!

[cbayer]

15. Welcome to the club!

Men love redheads. They think we are fast and loose.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

21. my hair has always had a reddish tint...

especially n the summer...I just decided why not go all the way?

[mrgorth]

42. .

"Men love redheads because we are fast and loose."

Agreed.

[applegrove]

16. Looks really good.You're a natural.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

22. Thanks

I try! :hi:

[SPKrazy]

17. You look mahvelous!

Red hair suits you

:hi:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

24. Thanks i was hoping it would look ok...

i wanted it to look natural and I didn't know if i could acheive that with drugstore dye :rofl:
I always felt like i shoulda been a redhead

[SPKrazy]

29. As someone who was a redhead more in his earlier life

I always felt I should have been something other than a redhead, I hated it, but you look great!

I remember getting teased for having red hair :shrug: Now people want to have red hair!

[Taverner]

23. Very Nice - It works for you

[WannaBeGrumpy]

25. Thank you!

:hi: :)

[insanity]

30. I have a weakness for redheads

I support your hair color.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

33. They should make "i support redheads" buttons...

just sayin'

[yellowdogintexas]

31. nice color, dark auburn red.

very nice

[WannaBeGrumpy]

34. Thanks!

I love it

[SeattleGirl]

32. Woohooo!

Another member of the Redhead Club at DU!

You look gorgeous!

[WannaBeGrumpy]

35. aww thank you...

that made me smile :)

[DarkTirade]

36. I think it works on you.

Looks pretty natural too. :thumbsup:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

38. I think it's the pale irish skin...

and the freckles

[DarkTirade]

41. Yep. I dated a girl who was half-irish a few years back.

Had no clue she wasn't a natural redhead until I saw evidence to the contrary.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

43. lol i've always had reddish hair...

but i've never gone the whole hog.

[DarkTirade]

50. She was completely brunette, and you'd never guess it by looking at her...

at least, not when she had clothes on.
:yoiks:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

54. LOL

:rofl: i am not going to make a fire crotch joke here...just sayin'

[DarkTirade]

55. Hence the 'evidence to the contrary' bit I mentioned earlier.

O8)

[Shakespeare]

37. I love it!!!

That color is gorgeous on you!

[WannaBeGrumpy]

39. Thanks...i love it so much...

i just keep playing with it

[Fox Mulder]

40. I like it.

:)

[WannaBeGrumpy]

44. Thanks...

me too
:hi:

[sakabatou]

45. Cute

^_^

[WannaBeGrumpy]

47. aww thanks...

glad you like

[sakabatou]

51. It looks like a real redhead

and not the fake "bright red" which people sometimes have.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

53. yeah i didn't want flame red hair...

like cherry or fire engine...

[sakabatou]

56. Yeah

My SO wants to dye my hair crazy colors. I forget which ones though....

[Haole Girl]

46. It looks very natural on you!

Very pretty! :hi:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

49. Thank you ...I was going for natural...

not fire engine or candy apple

[stuntcat]

48. omg you young people >:^/

I used to dye my hair any color of red I felt like but now I'm getting some gray so I stopped.. I don't want to get to that point where I can't stop dying it. My mother and step-mother are both there, like 60 years old and locked into dying their hair every few weeks, which is just weird, so I'm going natural before it's too late. But now I'm jealous of people who can use the Manic Panic, or change their color anytime they feel like x(

This is perfect for you I think, it matches you :headbang:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

52. Thank you...i've never done anything to my hair before...

so i like a fresh new look!

[abbeyco]

57. What did you use? Yours is now almost my

same color....except I'm getting a few grey hairs. I'd love to try it and see if it works as an 'all over' for me.

Thanks - and welcome to the Red Head's Club - we're awesome!

[WannaBeGrumpy]

64. I used this tuff called color pulse but....

it washes out in 8 -10 shampoos so i have to get my mother to permanently dye it.

[abbeyco]

97. I'll see if I can find it - thank you! n/t

[Tuesday Afternoon]

58. I love it !! You look fabulous !! --

Girl -- You are Hot...work it !! :loveya:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

71. Deleted subthread? You must be kidding me.

Back on topic...Looks great on you.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

73. probably a fire crotch joke....

i'm guessing!

[LibraLiz1973]

81. It was some disgusting pig asking a disgusting & stupid question

I alerted & I am sure others did as well.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

82. Oh i see....

some people are obnoxious!

[LibraLiz1973]

83. Totally.....

[1]

96. disgusting pig? that would be me...

i posted a joke. a very minor adult joke. in what i thought was a mostly adult forum.

a very innocuous joke that only used at its very worst the terrible words "carpet" and "drapes". and i only post those word now so that other adults here might understand the total offense of my "crime".

before i could reply it was a "deleted sub-thread."

i am new (no excuse) but i had NO IDEA the op was 17 years old.

NO IDEA.

there are 100,000 members here. i don't know all of you yet. WannaBeGrumpy? you don't look that young to me. i thought you into you twenties. my bad.

i apologize to WannaBeGrumpy for any inconsiderate remarks i made. it was not my intention to be rude or inconsiderate, i did not understand the situation. i am sorry if i offended you.





but if LibraLiz1973 will assure me she has never, ever, made any similar joke, in any context, in any situation.

never joked that way about a dude. i will accept her "stoning" me.


if you are that pure, LibraLiz1973, i will request that skinner personally tombstone me.

let me know...

[WannaBeGrumpy]

98. I am actually 18 and ...

therefore an adult...also pretty much anyone who makes any kind of dirty joke irrelevant to the topic gets their post removed...
...just sayin'

[DaydreaminHippie68]

72. I love my

red head, I'd love her with whatever hair color she has

[WannaBeGrumpy]

[Debi]

107. Moms, kind of like when Momma Debi saw me with my hair cut in an almost crew cut

with the bangs and rat tail bleached out (w/my brow hair they were pretty much orange). She was RED w/anger...and I'm sure her stylist's bill put her in the RED too!

rat tail....I SO grew up in the '80's!

[WannaBeGrumpy]
