I've actually had people ask me why I wear color contacts... boy do they shut the F up when I prove to them that this is my actual eye color
lol I have gotten this too since HS....I wear contacts...but to see, not to change the color.0 -
yes...i got told i was fickle cause i change it often?!?! not sure how my hair reflects my commitments lol. i change it depending on the season...its autumn now so im red! x0

I'll ask why someone choose a particular color when they have like purple or blue or neon green. And it's meant jokingly - afterall how serious can you be when you have purple hair

Oh honey, I'm a different colour every 6 weeks, so people are used to my wild hair changes! LOL!! :drinker:
But should someone ask, I always try to answer a question WITH a question, such as "Why do you ask?" or "Why do you want to know?" Say it with a smile, dripping with honey, and set them in their judgemental place!

People never ask me if I dye my hair. Guess black works well for me. When I used to get it for other color I just told them I need a color to match my personality.0

I get this question a lot and I always want to answer with "Just to annoy you"... lol0
-
I don't think anyone has asked me WHY I dye my hair.
And I have hot pink streaks in mine right now. Huh.0 -
Yeah I could see if I dyed it an unnatural color or something. I haven't done that since I was in the eighth grade though lol I've gone from auburn to red to strawberry blonde to blonde to brown with blonde underneath to dark brown with blonde underneath back to natural (light brown) and now i've been doing darkest brown lately. So they're not even out of the ordinary colors lol but everytime I dye my hair I get asked that over and over.0

When people ask me this question, I always reply with "because I wanted to?"
My hair color should be the least of a few of my "friends" concerns.0 -
When they ask I always say "because I am far too young for the amount of grey hair I already have."0

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've gotten that too. It's so weird. It's like uh...because I wanted to!0 -
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
A rainbow is natural right?0 -
I dye my hair punky colors (I'm not a punk, I just like neon colors) and I get all kinds of comments.
One woman, who is just a few years older then me, commented: I would LOVE to dye my hair pink but I'm much too old for that.
I've had people outright insult me.
I've had people say that I'm too old to be behaving so immaturely.
And to them all I say: SUCK IT. It makes me happy. I like seeing the color when I look in the mirror. So back up and leave me be.0 -
I tell them..... because no one likes grey ball hair!0

People don't ask me why I dyed my hair, they usually just say "Did you dye your hair?" (or similarly, "Did you cut your hair/get a haircut?") I usually respond with, "NO! I just woke up and my hair had changed color miraculously and fallen out in this perfectly measured and even pattern!"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.

I want to dye my own black, and get a spiral perm. I haven't done it yet but everyone I've mentioned it to says "Why would you want to dye it black?"
Like I have to have a reason?0 -
I get that one a lot. I've dyed my hair pink for the last eight years. I like to make up grandiose stories and lies about why I do it. Or pretend that I'm colorblind and don't know what they're talking about.0

I like seeing pink hair on people too. Or any other color for that matter--people feeling free to express themselves with their appearance always makes me happy, unless what they're trying to express is "cliche turbo slut."I dye my hair punky colors (I'm not a punk, I just like neon colors) and I get all kinds of comments.

I don't dye the hair on my head. It gives me that more mature look. But to keep looking younger, I dye my pubes. Makes me look years younger down below.0

ROFL!
ME TOO!
One time, when my hair was green, this guy was like: Your hair is.. green.
To which I responded: Yes.
Him: Well, why'd you dye it green.
Me: Dye it? No. This is my natural color!!!0 -
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 really dislike being asked why I dye my hair. I guess I am defensive, too. I think it's that irritated or mocking tone some people use when they ask personal questions that are none of their business. I would never ask somebody a question about their personal grooming habits, unless it was part of giving a compliment.
My natural color is near black with a red cast; and people would accuse me of dying my hair black and say it was too dark. So now I use a very dark reddish brown, which sucks because I can no longer hide random grey hairs with a black mascara wand. I miss my black hair. Funny thing is, now I don't really get asked that question anymore.0 -
Salt and pepper balls are awesome!
Oh and does the carpet match the drapes?0 -
I have never been asked why,
I think most people know what the answer would be as my roots start to grow out. LOL!
When I'm in my 80's I plan to have blue, pink, purple and any other color that covers the gray. It's my head and I will do to it what I damn well like...and color is what I like. And that is what I would and will tell op.0 -
People are curious about the strange things they would never do, also like the age old "Does it hurt?" tattoo/piercing question. Some people I take the time to enlighten and others I just walk away.0

I am often asked IF I color my hair.
No, I don't.0 -
My coworker: So, you decided to go blonde, huh?I get that one a lot. I've dyed my hair pink for the last eight years. I like to make up grandiose stories and lies about why I do it. Or pretend that I'm colorblind and don't know what they're talking about.
ROFL!
ME TOO!

Him: Well, why'd you dye it green.
Me: Dye it? No. This is my natural color!!!
Me: ...
:indifferent:
Him: :huh:
Me: No. I asked for red but that ***** at the salon didn't listen.0 -
I get asked that all the time, too. What I hate is when people who don't dye their hair (nothing against it), go on and on about why they would never dye their hair (waste of time, money, etc). I personally don't care, lol! I am not going to criticize someone for NOT dying their hair, so back off and leave me alone. It is my business if I want to blow money on blonde

There was a giant sign at the parlor where I got my first tattoo that said "YES, IT'S GOING TO HURT!"People are curious about the strange things they would never do, also like the age old "Does it hurt?" tattoo/piercing question. Some people I take the time to enlighten and others I just walk away.0 -
I would take Why did you do it as in your hair looks rubbish now. Usually its Have you dyed your hair or I like your hair colour. Why implies offence in my books lol. Tell them to jog on0

i definitely think it's a rude way to go about conversing with someone. Like YES obviously my hair is dyed. I think a friendlier way to ask would be "So i love your hair, where do you go to get it done?"0
