Orange Hair

When I first had the idea to dye my hair orange the first person I told was incredibly supportive. Not supportive, in fact, but actually thought it would look great and that i should absolutely go ahead and do it. After her, however, the support vanished behind quizzical eyebrows and sceptical comments. There were comments such as "ooo I don't think so" to "orange?! Oh no no no", and threats of taunting me with "ginger minger". Despite my clear explanation that it was not going to go ginger and I was aiming for a bright reddish orange people were very negative about the whole thing. I managed to get a few reluctantly convinced when I gave the example of Mila Jovovich in The Fifth Element as something I was aiming for, although I was actually intending to go more red than that, as that is very orange, I think it swayed a couple of people because she's incredibly hot as opposed to their love of her hair colour. Although I was a little disheartened that nobody was going for the idea I remained determined that I would do it and that it would look good. I challenged my friends to tell me they didn't like it, claiming that they would have to take everything they said back as it was not only going to look good, it was going to look amazing. I believe I used the term "frikkin awesome".

Yesterday I died my hair, incredibly nervous about the whole thing as my peers scepticism weighed down on me, but I was relieved and very pleased when the colour turned out to be exactly what I wanted and to suit me wonderfully. The hair dye glows under blacklight, therefore it is brilliantly bright; shining up and out of any heavy doubts and glowing through the town. So far my flatmate, one of the severe sceptics, and another uncertain ginger friend were forced to admit that it suited me and not only that, but that it looked good. I am feeling very smug about the whole thing. And I have great hair. And the sun is shining.

Now where's the U.V. light?
