So many. My hair is naturally dark blonde, and I had it highlighted starting when I was 13. When I moved in with my dad I did it white, which faded to yellow, then back to blonde, then auburn, dark auburn, red, black cherry, black, green, blue, then back to red (at my dad's insistence), then it was red for many years until over a year ago when I added black ombre, and from last fall/winter I gradually turned the red into pink which is what it is now.

My hair naturally was bright auburn when i was born, then went blonde when i was about 3 then went brown when i was around 8 or 9 :p then when i was 12 i dyed the fringe and tips flamingo pink. Then i was red, then chocolate, back to red, red with a blonde streak, orange with a blonde streak, dark red/burgandy with a streak, then the streak went green (copper pipes haha) then i did the world's greatest shave so in the lead up i went blonde then purple then green then shaved my head and then had platinum blonde and now it's bright orangey/ginger. Probably going to dye it again soon though. Wow. Written down that is a lot more than i expected!

I used to say my hair had been every colour save blue, but I rectified that a few years ago. It's currently faded auburn with long, distressingly grey roots. I'll be stripping it back in a few weeks, stay blonde for a Hallowe'en costume, and then go back to blue.

I think there's only one hair color I haven't had- brown.
I started bleaching and dying my hair in elementary school (my mom is one of those colorful artist types,) and in the past 12 years my hair has been many shades of red, orange, yellow, blonde, blue, purple, green, grey, pink, and sometimes I go back to my natural black.

Lately I've been going back and forth between very dark shades of purple and blue, they look more "natural" on me than bright colors and I don't have to bleach my roots as often.

Thirteen?!
Whoa.. I haven't even know there was a hair-color when I was 13.. then again, I was a bit of a tomboy.. [huh]

when i was 12 i dyed the fringe and tips flamingo pink.
Do tell us you have a pic of THAT: :p

It's currently faded auburn
That is a lovely color choice. :nod:

I think there's only one hair color I haven't had- brown.
Funny - because BROWN was the only color I ever had.

...until I finally decided to go red-head (see picture to your left for more details)
I tried so many colors (not on my head, but at a digital hair-salon... now I sound like a geek :D ), but I've decided if I ever do go on with coloring it'll simply be red. And it is.
Who knows - maybe one day I'll go flamingo-pink. :rofl:

I'm naturally brown. Not sure what shade as I've been dyeing it since I was 16.
I've been black, brown, red, blonde (currently), and have had blue streaks.

I've bleached it twice, the first time it turned too yellow (I have naturally light brown -aka mousey - hair) and my roots looked shockingly dark, so I went back to brown quickly. Then I tried again last year but crazily enough I thought I could do it myself and it was awful, all blotchy and not really blonde at all so I had to have it professionally corrected. In between I dyed it dark brown to black for a few years but got sick of the upkeep. In high school I once used kool-aid to turn the tips green which, I don't have to tell you, was a terrible idea.
I still have dreams of being platinum blonde, and lately I've been obsessed with the idea of having mauve/light purple hair. I just think it looks so cool!

Hello ladies,

I'm I've done red, black with purple bangs, deep burgundy, chocolate brown with teal sections on top, and all teal hair which I'm currently sporting. I'm a natural medium brown haired girl. I plan on going green next.

Every color but brown. A Cyndi Lauper obsession when I was 9 got me to dye my hair bright orange! I remember I went to school and my teacher screamed lol Been flying my freak flag ever since.

I was always too scared to colour my hair, because I didn't like the idea of it being damaged. Thus, I haven't coloured it...well, I have, but only once. I have naturally dark brown hair, and only went a shade lighter. It looked pretty nice. I also decided to have some highlights in my hair, and they were quite blonde haha! I don't know too much about dyeing and whatnot. I also became lazy, and just let the colours grow out of my hair. But now I'm brave again, and wish to try a deep red on my hair!

Too many! Originally a mousy brown, I first got highlights when I was 12, dyed my hair blonde when I was around 13, black when I was 15, dark chestnut brown when I was 16, and then red when I was 17. I loved the red but the cost and time of upkeep was too much. It looked brassy really fast. I decided to strip it and dye my hair my natural colour. This wreaked havoc on my hair and it too years for the damaged locks to grow out. I finally got the last inch of it snipped off last month and now my head of hair is all natural. I continue to lust after red hair but know it's just not in the cards for me.

I've been using Garnier No. 50 since I was in my twenties. I had a grey streak starting when I was sixteen, and I never, ever wanted to look like Susan Sontag. As I've gotten older, the grey streak has gotten wider, and I've got no interest in seeing it develop to full volume.

I've been black, brown, red, pink, blue, green, blonde, turquoise, purple, ginger and various combinations of the above. Only colours I haven't managed are white and grey, only because I cannot get enough red out of my hair to go that light. Once bleached my hair 3 times in a row and only just managed to get it blonde. It was like straw though.

Tell me about it! I have to leave it on well over an hour. My hair is baby fine and thin but so slipping stubborn.

I have color chalk for hair. Not sure where it is, though!
