The latest stop on the neverending merry-go-round that is Kelly's hair color

"Kelly's hair is not any color found in nature." --blueingenue

Last night Mom and I were on the phone and I casually mentioned that I was going to go home and dye my hair. She immediately started having a fit. "WHY?!" The way she was carrying on, you'd think I'd just told her I was going to go smoke some crack and then club baby seals.

So what's the latest?

Red. Really, really red. Feria Power Red Ruby Rush. This may be the reddest I've ever taken it. Magenta even.

My co-workers have long since gotten used to me coming in with new and unnatural hair colors, but I can't wait to see what the rest of y'all think of it...

And yes, before you all can start yelling at me at once, I will try and get a picture up...

I'm not completely sure why everyone does red, but I've been doing it fairly regularly since I was 17, and that was a good 15 years ago. I have thrown a purple and magenta and pink in there. But really, mostly red.

Plus, I am also a huge fan of the unnatural looking reds. The red red red red. Every now and then I consider doing a primary red, but I worry about it. I bet you could carry it off, though.

As it is, I spend every day at work having tons of people point to my hair and say to their friend, "see, that right there is the color I want."

Expect that the more intense your red becomes.

Oh, and if you want some interesting variations in the red, I highly suggesting lightening some chunky bits here and there. Then when you dye, those much lighter areas get to show up *MUCH* brighter. It's great.
