I have purple hair. I’ll let you in on a very well kept secret. Purple is NOT my natural hair color. Nope. I did that on purpose a couple years ago and I continue to do it because I like it.
I never thought of myself as a purple hair person, until the day two summers ago I when was sitting in my cousin’s kitchen — post family reunion. She dared me to let her dye my hair. In my family most of the women have dyed their hair some rainbow color or another. My cousin had a whole pallette to choose from. My middle grand daughter happened to be on the phone with me at the time and she decided on purple — so we went with that.
I was initiated into the Tribe.
It looked great.
My hair stylist took up the cause and added a lovely ‘plum’, then ‘plum’ plus ‘jam’. Now we go with a bit of ‘’pink’, plus ‘plum’ and ‘jam’ for a really great rich looking effect. He does a stunning job of making my purple hair look naturally purple.
Ponder what dark magic that is. He is truly a gift from the Gods.
I’ve had purple hair so long, I forget I have it. Until someone compliments me. And I get compliments all the time. The rest of my hair is gray, but people don’t remember that, they remember the woman with the purple hair.
The nice young man at my pharmacy. My favorite bartender at the wing joint…
