Sounds strange, but I saw a lady with green eyes and long green hair.

Her eyes sparkled.

As the color started to fade a little it her eyes were even more dramatic.

Purple would be my second choice.

I read the instructions and there was a 1800 clarol number for emergencies. I called. I told them the color i used. They gave me an antidote dye name. I went out and bought that. It worked fine. Just so you know. Don't panic if you are not happy with the result. There is help.

It was short, so I decided to let it grow a bit. The pink only lasted a few weeks.

I did for years, now I like Silver.

No orange please, or the kind that runs down your face.

Now I've got the notsopretty mousy gray mixed in.

Orange is definitely out then. I didn't think that color through....

mine was pink for awhile and I loved it... I had tried to color it something else... it was really bad so I bleached that horrible color out and got pink... weird... I have a lot of red pigments in my hair so coloring it always goes wrong... now I try to keep it light gray

I want to be gray/silver so bad, but alas, real color, just brown for the rest of my life (both my parents died near 90 with no gray)

best thing is temporary so you can experiment but that does get expensive... just please don't do Billie Eilish toxic green!!

For a long time. Some thought it was natural, lots of Irish red,too. Steaks turned purple. So that is a thought. When blonde I used the hair dresser. She mixed 2 to creat Champagne beige.

Do not laugh, that is the color of my car,Too! but am now Silver.
