Was it hard to get your hair blue?

One of the most common questions we receive is whether or not it was hard to get your hair blue. The answer: it depends! If you have light blond or white hair, it’ll be a lot easier to get your hair blue than if you have dark brown or black hair. But even then, there are still other factors that can make getting your hair blue harder than others. For example, if the color doesn’t come with bleach included in the formula, then bleaching will probably be required before putting any blue on top (if at all). Also, some brands offer more natural-looking shades that don’t require bleaching and are less likely to damage your strands as much as others do when applied correctly. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here — only personal experimentation will tell which method works best for you!

What do you tell people?

If you’re wondering how to explain your hair color, here are some options:

• “I’m a wizard,” which is a good response if you want to impress people with your magical knowledge.
• “It’s my natural color,” which is also pretty impressive and can be paired with the following statement: “And all my ancestors had blue eyes.” (This works if they actually do.)
• “I had it dyed for Purim,” if you want people to ask “What’s Purim?” This one is great because it’s not actually a lie; it just isn’t the whole truth.

Can I sit there?

Now that we’ve established that sitting on blue hair is not a good idea, let’s talk about why it happens.

In general, there are two ways: It could be the dye itself or your own body chemistry.

Dye-related staining can happen because the dye has not fully penetrated into your hair shaft (yours! You’re doing this yourself, right?) and as such it still contains a lot of water and/or oil, which makes it more prone to staining when you sit down on it. This may sound like common sense but one thing that caught me off guard was how quickly blue can transfer onto other surfaces—I’ve even seen it stain clothes just by rolling over them in my sleep!

The second cause for staining comes from something called “bonding” which basically means that the colored part of your hair (where all the blue pigment lives) actually sticks together when exposed to heat from friction like from sitting down on an armrest or chair backrest. This bonding effect can also occur if you’re sweating while wearing dark colored clothing; since sweat is acidic in nature some people find that this causes more rapid discoloring than normal.

Blue hair is cool.

It’s a great color for someone who is feeling bold and unique. But you have to be prepared for the questions you’re going to get about it. If you are someone who likes attention and doesn’t mind answering questions, then blue hair could be a great choice for you!

If you’re worried about what other people think or if they may not take your personality seriously because of your hair, then maybe another color would suit better.
