Do you hate it when someone asks you "Why did you dye your hair?" I get that maybe it's just a conversation starter, I just find it to be a useless one. Maybe it's just me but all I have to say back is "I like this hair color on me" or "I got bored with my last hair color." I just don't see that many other answers they are expecting to get from that. I'm nice enough to answer that for them I was just wondering if anyone else thinks the same thing when they get asked that. Lol

    I didn't realize people even would ask that? Although I get weird questions sometimes about other things that make me stop and think what the other person was thinking when they decided to vocalize their thoughts haha.

    I got that all the time when I got red streaks a few years ago... I finally gave up and said 'why not' and no one really had a response to it haha

    Never had anyone ask me that, and I've had my hair all colors of the rainbow.

    I use a temporary vegetable dye (like Manic Panic) in a fantasy color every Easter (purple last year). Then I get asked. Otherwise I keep my natural silvery color.

    No one has ever asked me WHY. If they did I would probably just say that a) I'm not ready for grey hair and b) I love change. And hair is one of the easiest things to change.

    I've always wondered if that was a way of saying they don't like it without having to say it becuase as you said what different kinds of answers are they expecting. Maybe I'm just being defensive :huh:

    I got that question a lot when I dyed mine blue. It was my favorite color. I loved how it looked. And I was 20 and in college. I knew it would be a long time before I could do it again. I'd do it again in a minute if I could get away with it.

    Reminds me of when I was pregnant. "should you be eating that?" "Should you be doing that?" lol, so annoying.

    I dye my hair fiery red as a warning to others.

    I suppose I understand if it was something drastic, like hot pink or rainbow. Obviously, that makes a statement and undoubtedly makes others curious. Otherwise, I don't really understand the point of asking, nor why it matters!

    I've had dyed blond hair for the past 8 years and when I decided to dye it brown a few weeks ago, no one recognized me!

    The more obnoxious question I get is, is that your natural hair color? and since I have no clue what my natural hair shade is, I always lie and say yes!

    If it's an unnatural color, I could see the question...but for anything else, nah what's the point?


    I've been dying my hair since 6th or 7th grade......I've been every color in the book lol

    I constantly get people asking me why I dye my hair. Except it's not dyed, it's natural which I tell them and they look at me like I'm a liar. Gets old after a while....

    I was a bottle blonde during college and a red head starting at age 24. Now it's back to it's natural, mousy brown/dishwater blonde color.

    My boyfriend, about a week after we met, asked why I dyed my hair. I told him the truth, it was to cover up the gray hair I had discovered at age 22. I'm now 30 and have started to "own" my gray hair. Not thrilled but I'm going gray while my boyfriend is going bald. We're even :-)

    The closest I got to someone saying something like that was a week ago and one of the workout trainers was coming in as I was. It was a bright, sunny day so my hair looked really red in the sun. I dyed it a burgundy black (mixed two different colors). She said something like wow, looks like someone dyed their hair for a party. I was like no, this is the color I want it to be. Then she goes, oh, it looks nice. Yeah, umm OK.

    I used to have blue and purple streaks in my hair and I didn't mind the questions then. I was the first one to do it in my high school so I figured it would pose some attention.

    I've been asked that a million times because my hair color has always changed from week to week. Doesn't really bother me much, but my answer is pretty simple. "I got bored with my hair color, so I changed it."

    Although today had to be the best reaction to my hair yet. Right now my hair is fire engine red, a woman came up to me in the grocery store, jaw agape and just looked at me and said "OH MY GOD, GIRL. I LOVE THAT COLOR. THAT'S HOT," and just walked away. That was soooo hilarious but complimentary!

    I think most women do dye their hair, so I find it odd that anyone would ask about it. I don't dye my hair cuz I've got these really cool silver streaks at my temples. But no one ever asks me why I don't dye.
