    I want a nose stud! And my ears triple pierced and a cartilage piercing and one of those ear cuff things.

    Also I want a tattoo of the Hogwarts crest

    I know Manic Panic sells them and I know their hair dye works relatively well but I haven't seen any review of their wigs. They're relatively normally priced for wigs, so I might just buy one and if it sucks it'll at least look good on a mannequin head haha. Amphigory.com sells wigs and from what I've heard they take forever to get to you but their wigs are good quality. So I guess those would be the two places I'd order from...

    Sally Beauty Supply sells styrofoam mannequin heads to store wigs on for 3.99 so I'd go with those...

    That's my wig research for now haha Tongue

    Cool I'll check it out Happy

    I'm thinking of buying mannequin heads, painting them, and buying various unnaturally colored wigs for them & me to wear. I have a list going in my head ^_^

    I want to wear wigs, too! I have your same problem D: I really want to buy crazy colored wigs with different lengths of hair and all that! I think I will, actually. My only issue is that my hair is short and I don't want little bits of hair falling out, but I suppose a wig cap and bobby pins will take care of that

    Haha well from living in the South all my life, I get the impression that NYC and LA is much more tolerant, too, but Austin, Texas, was really nice about it. It's basically the little blue dot in the red state haha. It is fun every now and then to get looks haha

    Lolly - you're welcome Happy

    Laurel - haha, yeah, they do that in Texas. I was at Ikea shopping for my new furniture (getting here in approximately 15 minutes! woo!) and a lady literally stopped in her tracks and said "oh my!" upon seeing my hot pink hair haha.

    Lauren - Oh I didn't know that! That sucks...I've definitely seen zero people with hair as colored as mine, which is probably predictable in small-town Texas haha.

    Chelsea - Yeah, I avoid washing my hair until absolutely necessary, especially when it's freshly dyed because I want the natural oils to help it get its normal texture back. Haha I bleached out my red before putting in the pink...I wonder what color it would have been if I didn't? I'll probably dye my hair like a mahogany when school starts, as pink isn't allowed (which I think it should be, because if we're an IB school and supposed to be 'open-minded', shouldn't that apply to hair color too?!).

    Lolly - haha thanks ^___^ also, my natural hair color looks to be about the same as yours is (from your profile picture). this is what I did to keep the color in: after bleaching and dyeing i washed my hair every other day or every 2 days, depending on how lazy i was haha. the brand you use also affects it...i used Special Effects USA and it's the best dye out there in my opinion...manic panic is okay but SFX has better pigmentation and it stays in much longer...the red i had done in june stayed about that color for a month and would have stayed longer if i hadn't started to fade it to put in the pink...

    my roots don't have that much time to grow out...especially as i'm switching colors after a month Happy also, what volume peroxide do you use? i want to try out 40 volume but i'm afraid that it'll make my hair fall out...i use 30 volume right now

    seeing as I'm addicted to hair dyeing (woo!), I'm starting a thread for me to ramble about hair dyeing...so yeah!

    This weekend I'm re-dyeing my hair pink, because my red is fading out to a nasty blotchy orange/faded red...so pink it is! After that I'm gonna let it recuperate until the school year, then do a natural red or maybe black...so yeah!

    Hair dyeing adventures? Is this already a thread and I'm just being annoying and troll-y (I hope not)?

    Thanks! It's faded out a bit now...my bangs are more orange than red. At the end of this month I have to start fading it out so that it'll be gone by the start of school...I'm definitely not looking forward to having orange hair :\ we'll see, I guess. I know for sure that I'm dyeing my hair a more natural red for the school year...I might change that at some point, too. I'm already addicted to dyeing my hair haha

    Thanks! Happy And DarkAshHurts, I used Special Effects USA and it seems to have stayed really vibrant well...it's only been a couple of days though, so we'll see. But I bought special shampoo & conditioner and wash it in cold water every 2 days, and wear a shower cap in the shower.

    Aw Happy that sucks!

    I also dyed my brother's hair Manic Panic's 'Purple Haze' for his birthday...he dyed it blonde and it looked super bad so I dyed it purple for him!



    Tada!

    So, school got out for summer today (woo!) and I dyed my hair "Nuclear Red" from Special Effects USA hair dye. I used Manic Panic's 30 Volume Flash Lightning for an hour, then shampooed it out, then put a whole bottle of the SFX color on it and left that on for 30 minutes, then just rinsed the dye out.

    And voila! My hair is NUCLEAR RED! I love it so much!
