Me with Blue hair?

I like the look of people with their hair dyed Electric Blue! I was thinking about dying min with blue Kool Aid.

I'm not sure if blue hair would suit me.
What do you think?

Here's a few pics

You're adorable.

I think you might look better with a few streaks of blue, but if you want to do your whole head, do it.

Go to amphigory.com and go to hair dye and click Special Effects. You'll go look at all the blue shades and see how it looks.

But if your hair is naturally dark, you will probably have to bleach it in order for it to show up as bright as possible. But if using SE, I doubt you'll need to even if it's just a rinse for a nice blue-black.

It looks like you are slightly on the cool tone side. Blue should look fine. I say go for it, worst that happens is you hate it and have to dye black over it to get rid of it...and that is always easy enough to do if it comes down to it.

Just be certain that you do want to bleach your hair. Especially if it doesn't regrow very quickly. It is bound to become strawy and dry. I went from black to fire red in one day, just take my word for it.

Not really. I just got this tee at a thrift store because it fit and it was cheap.
I thought about DIY it or blanking it out.

Yeah, I'd probably make a big canvas chest patch of my favorite band and sew it over top of the nike thing.

Personally, if I was you I would go for just a couple of blue streaks at first. Subtle yet stylish

From other pictures of you I have seen, you look like yu have quite a dark skintone...if you actually do I wouldn't suggest dying your hair blue all over. I personally think that red would look better.

And I think you should get slices rather than streaks.

Sorry to take the thread momentarily off target but I'm not familiar with slices - What is the difference between slices & streaks?

Slices sit in wide sections underneath layers of the hair to create flashes of colour.

Streaks are just...well...streaks.

I think slices just look alot better in the long run, streaks look abit..."I just slapped this ontop of my head."
That's just me though being a fussy hairdresser.

Thanks I think I used the wrong word for what I was trying to say. Maybe I should have used "a few bands of colour". The slices that you described though would suite Opteron_Man with his style of cut, not to mention the contrasts in colours between the black & electric blue.

I'd say streaks/slices also. I wouldn't do the whole head if I were you, I don't think it would look right. Some colour in your fringe/bangs would look nice I think. And leave the rest black.

I think you would look nice if you colored a chunk of your bangs blue. I would just test out streaks or chunks first, and then dye your whole head if you like it.

dye it blue. i thought blue would look like shit on me and it looked awesome. you have to bleach it first. try to find herbal essences or loreal, make sure the bleach comes with conditioner, it will keep your hair from dryness. judging by your shade, you may have to bleach twice to get a really bright blue. i have a natural color similar to your color and i had to bleach 3 times. i don't suggest this, its only for really really strong hair, and if you do bleach multiple times make sure you wait a couple days between bleaches. special effects is the best dye you're gonna find, manic panic has a new product which i heard isn't too great. kool aid will not work. at all. blue hair is awesome i miss mine sooo much.. good luck!

There are websites and such where you can upload photos and try different colors on your picture so you can see what it looks like.

Otherwise, I think you would look pretty cool with the blue hair.

1. Your hair looks REALLY good like that compared to the old photos. I myself am not a big fan of that particular cut but it really suits you.
2. I'm seconding the electric blue on edge of the bangs that you put over your eye.
3. It might look cool, in addition, to do blue on the tips of the ends of your hair. Then from the front all of the hair along your face along with the hairs that peek out from the back would be tinged with blue.
4. you could use blue-black or just more blue on the rest of your hair to make it two-toned, but that might be a bit too much.
5. Off-topic...your lip ring looks sort of big. Have you ever considered getting one that fits the beads to your lip?

Good luck with the hair thing! Post pics!

Personally I reckon you look better without the dog collar man. Just my opinion though.
I'm digging your jacket :P
Oh and, for the blue I'd say electric blue all over but if you're gonna do that I suggest a more extreme hairstyle, as a full head of electric blue in an extreme colour. Otherwise I'd suggest streaks for your hair at the moment.

I second the electric blue. But stay away from Manic Panic.
