I swear I’ve been wanting to do something crazy to my hair ever since high school. Crazy specifically in the form of crazy unnatural colors. I was always jealous of the girls who got away with or got permission from their parents to dye their hair all sorts of colors from the rainbow because my mom would’ve disowned me if I had. And boy do I love rainbows! Then after high school I was dating someone who was really conservative in regards to appearance and discouraged me from doing anything drastic to mine. Then I was working in a workplace that prohibited anything “unprofessional-looking”. Then I was totally into school and didn’t have the time to eat, let alone keep up a high maintenance hair schedule. Then there was the wedding….and on and on! So now that I don’t have all those constraints, I told myself that I gotta do it before I’m so old that it won’t look appropriate anymore. Just do it! Actually, I personally think it looks cool at any age and you better know that I’ll be doing this when I’m in my 70s. My grandkids will call me the cool/crazy grandma. Take that all other grandmas!
Okay enough of my spiel. It was surprisingly difficult to find pictures of Asian ladies with purple/pink-colored hair. I guess we all had pretty much the same type of parents. Here are the inspiration photos I managed to dig up to show the hairstylist:




I basically wanted a panel in the back to be blue/purple and a large streak in the front on the side in pink/purple. Here’s how it turned out:



Sorry for the blurry last pic. It’s the only one that illustrates the dark purple peaking through in the back the best. So yeah, I was happy overall with the results but the pink was a little too “pink” for my taste. I wanted it more of a raspberry color, so I’m fixing it myself with some Manic Panic. What do y’all think? Btw, Rob loves it and was totally encouraging the whole time. I knew I married the right man!
