I have naturally black hair and I want to dye it a very dark violet. Not that I care enough to not do it, but I heard guys hate that and prefer a girl's natural hair, or at least not "crazy" colors like blue, pink, etc. So I was wondering what the MAL community thought? And, if you must, feel free to include pictures.

I Like natural hair on everyone. Some highlights are OK, but dying hair another color makes some people seem less lively.

Don't care much for dyed hair... I see enough crazy hair colors in anime.

I don't like unnatural hair colours. I can't help but feel that they're bland girls that are trying too hard to stand out. It looks gross too, especially if they dye it to weird colours such as green and god knows what.

Maybe you should just do it and stop giving a shit about the odd numpty in the street that might give you a funny look.

I don't really care in general unless it's at the job. This girl at my part time had some freaky hair colors in a fairly professional setting. I don't know who she bribed for that.

I prefer natural colours. Unnatural colours can look cute sometimes, but it's better if it's just highlights as dying all your hair will bad after the colour fades and your roots grow back which usually doesn't take too long.

Unfortunately, I had to dye my hair dark blue for a while. I actually don't think it looked that bad and I didn't really get any weird looks, but I don't think I would do it again to be honest.

Still, it's a hair color.

Why should the client or anyone think of a person in another way based on a hair color.

I really dont think I could pull off those kinds of colours. I would like to do it, but they just wouldnt look nice on me. So it's better to just stick to my style even though I like to experiment.

I'm not a fan of anyone dying their hair unnatural colours. I had golden blonde hair till I was 8 then my hair started growing as a dark brown. I'll occasionally temporarily dye my hair back to golden blonde in the summer though.
I love Christine

I prefer natural, but I don't feel bothered by dyed hair, unless it makes the hair look fake and artificial. Colours to avoid is unnatural hair colours such as blue, pink, etc.

My ex had pink hair for most of her life and kinda looked like something out of an anime. I liked it. When I met her I didn't even watch anime either (other than Cartoon Network). I guess it depends on personal taste though. I like natural brunettes and gingers too but to me dyed hair is pretty cool.

It doesn't bother me at all though I personally prefer natural colours. Some people can pull off unnatural colours really well and that's a massive plus in my books.

Pink, red, blue, and purple are fine, but green is hard to pull off, silver is hard as well and colored highlights>full dye.

It's fine. Whether it looks good or not depends on the colour as well as the person wearing that particular colour and the hairstyle they have. Some colours will suit you better than others. I prefer darker colours.. but only in general.. and it's a personal preference. A mix of natural and unnatural can also be really good.

Because it's comparatively uncommon to a see a guy with dyed hair. But I see girls with dyed hair all the time, and it's unnerving.

Maybe it's because I went to a school where things like that weren't allowed, but it seems very strange to me.

I don't mind at all as long as they dye it again when they're supposed to. Some girls look amazing for a week and a half then the color starts wearing off and their hair looks like it was rotting .-.

i see no problem with that. if it makes them happy, more power for them.
i also dyed it red once, though it was barely noticeable.
You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.
Show your support to your favorite artist if you can!
ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

I go outside plenty. Maybe people in Arizona don't dye their hair as much. Maybe I just don't notice the guys, because they don't interest me. I dunno.

The most important Fact you should consider is "Does it improve your looks AND do you like it" because that's what it all actually is about..
Thus i can say i don't really like dyed hair this Way there are still People whom i consider Pretty and others who definitly should've not done this.. i mean it obviously depends if it looks nice on YOU and not in general

A Friend of Mine Dyd her Hair Dark Purple a While ago and it looked Awesome.. and she's not into Anime or anyhing related to this by far.. she just wanted to try some looks
While other People i've seen on the Street colored their Hair and it just looked like they were Cosplayin

Oh just noticed you want to Color your Hair Dark Violet aswell, i don't think it's that big of a Deal
I think it's the bright Colors which can be fucked up sometimes

I think it looks good as long as it isn't bright. Really vivid hair colors just look to artificial, I think it looks better if the coulee is either slightly washed out or darker.

Putting aside the fact that 1-of-12 people in the World are natural blonds, and 1-in-5 women in the U.S. are blonds (which suggests that there is something in the minds of women who see the value of '... better living through chemistry ...';

You should do what you wish, whether others like or not. Make your own decision. You're a big girl. You can do whatever you want with your hair.

I stand as one of those that don't like hair color that Humans aren't born with, but I still say do it, if you feel you just HAVE to do it.

Uhhhhh... What? The US is significantly whiter than most of the world. That's a ridiculous comparison. Obviously, there will be very few natural blondes if we're including countries where everybody has black hair.

And this topic is about 'unnatural' hair colors, so your post is pointless regardless.
