I've gotten a few comments and questions recently about my purple hair so I thought I'd write a short post on the subject. The first thing people who don't know me might want to know is that my husband is a hairdresser and he makes all of this look easy. You should also know that I color my hair a lot...like about every 4 weeks so sometimes it gets very annoying but I can't imagine another hair color I would be happier with. I always say that if God were in the habit of passing out purple hair he surely would have given it to me. He's just not in the habit of doing so.
I've had purple hair for a little over 3 years now with 2 very short blonde breaks. The shade of purple has varied from pink, to eggplant to Barney purple and has survived short hair, long hair, dreadlocks and the combing out of dreadlocks.
I get asked all kinds of questions about my hair so here are a few of the answers.No, I did not go to K State.
No, purple is not my favorite color.
Yes, it is permanent.
Yes, I do have to bleach to get it this color.
My favorite thing about having purple hair is all the stereotypes I get to break. Most people do not assume that a 33 year old Christian, homeschooling, happily married for almost 10 years, stay at home mother will have purple hair but I do...and I love it!I hope I've managed to answer a few questions and give you yet another glimpse into who I am and what I'm all about.
Have a wonderful day,
You're so pretty! You know it's been so long that I don't even think about the fact that your hair is purple....it's just YOU.
ReplyDeleteYou've given me an idea lol :) I have a google alert for my sites (umm have to do with purple) so I got an alert regarding your purple post. lol :)
ReplyDeleteI, unlike you are a bit purple obsessed lol :) not sure I'd have thought of having my hair purple, tho. Yours does look very nice, tho. :)
That is EXACTLY the reason I used to dye mine. AND I used to have that haircut (my kids begged and begged me to grow it out so now I am stuck with down, braids, or a bun (I hate cheer leader pigtails). I long to try dreads but my head gets itchy when my allergies get bad so I have to wash it good--not happening. Now that my hair is normal colored I wear a hat and funky earrings instead.
ReplyDeleteGive me a few days to ponder the design--I think I have an idea but need to chew on it a bit.
That's why I had to comb out my dreads...too itchy, even when washing every other day.
ReplyDeleteI love it! So funny, I'm brave about being different in so many ways, but my looks have always been pretty conventional (read: boring).
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with your hair! I have longed for purple hair for the longest time but didn't dare because I am a mom and was worried that I was too old for such things. You have inspired me to just be myself :)
ReplyDeleteHey..do you know that you are the second homeschool mom I know with purple hair!! Love it!
