1. I voted purple just on principle. :P
Because purple is hot.

Seriously, red works for you and it's hard to picture the brown... then again I tend to prefer brunettes myself. Hmmm. I dunno. Hard to say.

2. if i went purple
then everyone here in my small town would think i'm even more of a liberal freak... :rofl: ... hmmm... that actually seems appealing :evilgrin:

i prefer the red myself.. but i'm lazy and low maintenance and the trouble of having to color my hair when my roots grow out(my hair grows fast) is annoying.

4. Ooh... what about a combo.
A PURPLE mohawk.

That would just be all kinds of awesome.

29. They're rather bad. In fact, I didn't even use Photoshop, I used a free program I found online. :P
Edited on Sun May-11-08 11:42 PM by DarkTirade
I'll put it in my 'personalstuff' directory 'cause I made that one so it's not an open directory. Don't want pictures of you with purple hair gettin' spread all over the interwebs.

But if you like it, I'll post it. :)

*edit* got permission to post it so...

40. That's why the gods invented wigs.
If your hair was light enough then temporary washable dye would be an option. :P But it doesn't work on hair that's any darker than dirty blonde.

24. My other idea was: shave your head and tattoo your scalp "Go Celtics! 2003"
But I'm getting the idea here that you won't be following any of my cutting-edge fashion suggestions

So let that be a WARNING to you: that sort of thing

I like it. :) :thumbsup:

14. If you did a richer, chocolate brown it would be better than red.
Especially with blue eyes, it's unusual and striking.

20. the red on you is lovely -- but as amitten said, a rich, darker
brown might also be very nice... you have green eyes, right?

22. blue and green
like i said above... it really depends on the lighting and how it hits them.. for example outside my eyes might be blue and inside they might be green, lol. it is weird to say the least.

37. maybe a shade richer than your natural shade. i dyed my hair blue-black
which is a shade blacker than my normal hair, i like it a lot.

i think you could totally do a brighter brown

41. A really dark brown.
All of the pictures are lovely, but I think a darker color would compliment your eye color.

i'm going to go back brunette.. but i do believe i'll keep a tiny bit of red in it.. maybe a dark reddish brown ;)

edit: dammit.. i'm being a flip flopper.. i don't know what to do! if i go back brunette it will still have some red in it.. because i like being a redhead.

51. you look great each way-- and purple would be smashing...
...but I have to admit a preference for the auburn version. You remind me a lot of a close friend of mine-- she is also a brunette who occasionally colors her hair a red similar to yours-- and I think she's absolutely beautiful that way. Of course she's beautiful regardless, but I really like red hair. Your skin tone is similar to hers too-- I think the red fits you well.
