so im not sure if dying your hair counts as a body mod, but i've been dying it alot lately, and i was wondering if you guys think i should grow it natural or dye it like green or some shit =] it's black and pink right now
i think natural goes best ..embrace it! i used to dye my hair, back in my punk scene days - pink hair, blue hair ..whatever but then i cut it all off and had a 'beatles' cut and since then i just let it be - embrace the freak flag. i only ever trim it when the split ends are out of control and wash it every three days, with natural environmental-friendly shampoo/conditioner ..and it's nice when people compliment you on your free flowing, healthy hair and also recognise and appreciate that you aren't 'focused' on making it trendy
I've dyed my hair for a good chunk of my life but when i was natural about 2 years ago i felt the most like me. My hairs natural again and I'm loving every sec. of it! Do whatever feels right for you.
I actually totally agree with this, but I also was really serious in my first post. OP, when I was your age was about the time I started dying my hair pretty frequently, and my hair was insanely shiny and healthy before I did that. I spent the entirety of high school with fried frizzy hair. It was so much work just to try to get it to look half ass decent. Just make sure you're putting the stuff you're stripping out back in your hair. Your hair's so shiny and pretty, you should try to keep it that way!
