hair and rock

[mwestbelle]

Thinking about dying my hair...I never have before, but what's a good time to experiment with color than college? I've been looking through the Manic Panic Dyehard line, since I don't want anything permanent...but I don't know what to do! I don't think I want to dye my whole head and I'm not a big fan of streaks--tips? Underlayer? Plus I don't know what color to use! Any suggestions? (I have wavy/curly hair to just above the shoulder, kind of honey blonde)

Also: how long do concerts usually last? Still trying to figure out a way to get to My Chem, and the bus schedules (and prices, yikes) are kicking my ass. Anybody going to the Chicago show happen to be willing to give transport/shelter to a well-behaved college student, preferably with rape/pillage/plunder not included?

I have a giant log of thelemic and I spazzing about the cross-dressing!tourverse, and I'm deciding whether to just post that in all it's capslocked glory or try to clean it up into something a little neater.

Going to the campus rockfest, Vortex, tonight...should be exciting! I'm not familiar with any of the bands (The Dirtbombs, Jay Reatard, Miss Alex White and the Red Orchestra, and Mucca Pazza) but getting out and about is nice anyway. And I do love to rawk \o/

Hmm... I'm kind of addicted to dyeing my hair, although I've never used Manic Panic (although I hear it's good from people who do). As for actual color, it depends a lot on things like skin color, too, as to what would look the best. Streaks are usually kind of hit-and-miss but you could probably do some cool effects with tips (like fading out as you go up, for example). The dark red would probably be pretty sweet.

Concerts also depend on a lot of things! If it's a band with a lot of openers (the Sleeping with Giants tour had four, for example) you're probably looking at ballpark four-five hours. If it isn't, probably around three.

*magically full of information :D*

OMG, you're like wikipedia for all the stuff I want to know XD

Well, my knowledge is... selective. It just so happens that some of those select things are concert-going and dyeing hair (which reminds me that I want to do something with mine again, since the dark brown's faded to kind of a dull medium-brown.).

Haaair. I've never dyed my hair before, so it's rather exciting.

PS: Get on AIM, wench.

*gets on AIM* Yarr.

And I spazzed out to no end when I first dyed my hair. Then again, my first dye-job was black with blonde highlights at the front and I had like, an inch of hair, so it was kind of insane-looking.

Long pink tips. Like bright pink. It would look cool with most of your clothes but wouldn't be too glaring with your hair color.

That could be neat...we'll have to see how it goes, I'm looking at the galleries on the Manic Panic page, and I'm kind of taken with a couple sort of cranberry-pinkred colors.

I've been thinking of/wanting to dye my tips bright pink for a while now. I bought this bottle of dye at Wal-Mart, but it's more of a red tint thing so I'm not sure.

I can see pink working in your hair. But I can see a dark blue working as well.
