What color should I dye my hair:

A) Purple
B) Orange (Redhead variant, fairly vivid)
C) Burgundy/Plum
D) Black
E) Blue

Please note that my natural hair color is fairly dark and I will not be bleaching first. Therefore, all of the choices except for B and possibly C will be muted. The problem with B is that it is a permanent dye and that means upkeep. I hate upkeep. I like when the dye color fades just as the new hair is growing in so that it looks all natural.

I would go with plum.

I dyed my hair black once, and I didn't think there was much difference. However, I got a lot of "did you do something to your hair?" type comments.

I am tempted to do the auburn thing myself, but my hair is so healthy (for a change) that I don't want to load it up with chemicals. Maybe once my split-end problem comes back I won't care so much. *grin*

Do a semi-permanent and your hair won't suffer. Also, I used to use Clairol Natural Instincts and my hair was suffering. I find the professional stuff to be much nicer to my hair and no damage happens. With Clairol, I needed more of their special conditioner or my hair would go wonky. I don't need anything with whatever my stylist uses. With the semi-permanent, if you are done with it, it just fades and no roots.
