    • Do you dye your hair? No
    • If not currently, have you ever dyed your hair? Yes, from ages 13-22
    • Have you ever had a perm? Yes, in middle school.
    • Did you have gigantic bangs in the 80s/90s? Yes, in middle school for a while.
    • What's the most drastic cut/color you've ever had? When I was in the 7th grade, I dyed my hair black at a slumber party. My Mom got really mad at me for doing it so she took me to her hairdresser to get it fixed. I ended up getting highlights and a cute cut and it was actually the best my hair has ever looked. My Mom's punishment totally backfired on her.
  • Do you dye your hair? Nope.
    If not currently, have you ever dyed your hair?  Nope! I've never even put lemon juice in my hair.  I think it's a red head thing, but we're told it will never come back natural and it scared me.
    Have you ever had a perm? Nope.
    Did you have gigantic bangs in the 80s/90s?  No, I've never been a big bangs person.
    What's the most drastic cut/color you've ever had?  I chopped over 14 inches off of my hair about a year after I got married. It wasn't quite a pixie, but it wasn't long enough to pull back and that was super annoying.
  • Do you dye your hair? I do currently, yes. I have black streaks and an overall auburn color.

    If not currently, have you ever dyed your hair? I used to dye it all the time, then finances got in the way. I've kept it up for the past 6 months or so.

    Have you ever had a perm? Nope. Naturally curly.

    Did you have gigantic bangs in the 80s/90s? No

    What's the most drastic cut/color you've ever had? Color: Bozo Red. Cut: Short and layered. It was HORRIBLE. I looked like a poodle.

    • Do you dye your hair? Yes. I used to do it every 6-8 weeks (box at home) but I have really been slacking since I got pregnant with DS and especially since he was born. But now my gray hair is out of control so I *really* need to get on that.
    • If not currently, have you ever dyed your hair? Since I was 14.
    • Have you ever had a perm? Yes. I BEGGED my mom to let me get a perm when I was 11. I had visions of a cute bob with equally cute spiral curls. It turned out a lot less cute than I had imagined.
    • Did you have gigantic bangs in the 80s/90s? I tried. I had the wave bangs and the curled and then fluffed and sprayed ones.
    • What's the most drastic cut/color you've ever had? I had a really short cut when I was 19 - wedged in the back. I've had varying shades of blonde, red, and brown overall color. I've had highlights in platinum blonde, blonde, red, purple, blue, and green. I love coloring my hair Smile

    Do you dye your hair? Yes, but not since I have been PG.  In the winter I go a little more copper and in the spring I get strawberry blonde highlights

    If not currently, have you ever dyed your hair?. N/A

    Have you ever had a perm? Yes- I had the horrible Richard Simmons (Tight curl) perm.  It was a disaster and took forever to grow out.

    Did you have gigantic bangs in the 80s/90s? No.  I am too clumsy to navigate something as hot as a curling iron that close to my face!

    What's the most drastic cut/color you've ever had? Purple. I did it my freshman year of college.  It was semi-permenant.  My Great grandmother died a few days later, so I got a bottle of the cheapest shampoo I could find and washed my hair over and over until it stripped all the color out.  My Pop would have KILLED me if I had shown up to the funeral with purple hair!

    I used to be afraid to dye my red hair too.  My aunt is a hair dresser and she finally talked me into trying it.  Red dyes fade REALLY fast.  So as long as you go darker (not lighter because of the bleach) it'll fade almost completely away. 

    I go a couple shades darker in the winter and by the time my hair grows out you can't tell that I dyed my hair.  I never get noticable roots.

    • Do you dye your hair? No
    • If not currently, have you ever dyed your hair? Yes - I have gotten highlights off and on since sophomore year, but not in a while now.
    • Have you ever had a perm? LOL yes. second grade. It lasted a day.
    • Did you have gigantic bangs in the 80s/90s? Not really - I had the cute little girl bangs, but that was it.
    • What's the most drastic cut/color you've ever had? Um when I was abroad they chopped off about 6 - 8 inches of my hair (so it was to my neck/ears), layered it, and dyed it a dark brown with red highlights (it looked more red than brown.) I say "they" bc I told the stylist to do something different and I closed my eyes the whole time. It was the best haircut EVER.

I worked in a hair salon that my moms friend owned when I was 13-16  and thought it would be cool to let this new stylist experiment on my hair. I ended up with zebra stripe colors of red, black, and blonde then it was that stacked style where it was long in the front and went up very short in the back. It was a mess.
