Do you ever consider dyeing your hair a bright and colorful hue for fun? In this article, we explore the journey of aging gracefully and embracing vibrant hair colors. From pastel pinks and sky blues to bold and daring platinum blondes, we dive into the experience of trying out these lively hues.

From Silver Grey to Ash Blonde: Dyer's Journey at 60

At 60, I decided to take a bold step and dye my hair to achieve a silver grey shade. However, much to my delight, the result was an ash blond hair color. Now that I've dived into the world of artificial hair coloring for the first time in my life, the possibilities are endless. Who wouldn't want to try that pastel pink or sky blue hair? It's only hair, after all!

Reviving the 70's: A Rainbow of Colors in the 'Crazy Color' Era

Moving back in time to the 70s or early 80s, there was a hair product called 'Crazy Color.' My hair was platinum blond, short and smooth, with a punk edge at the back of the crown. The crown's top portion exhibited a stunning blend of rainbow colors, including blue, pink, and another pastel hue. This creative and vibrant hairstyle was a sight to behold.

Four decades later, fun and colorful hair remains a trend. I've experimented with various shades of pink, red, and other pastel hues. If you're considering dyed hair, you must be prepared for the continuous challenge of maintaining a uniform color. The roots can quickly reveal themselves, but the process can be incredibly rewarding.

Choosing the Right Color Lasts: Wella Color Charm

One of the most long-lasting hair color options that stands the test of time is the Wella Color Charm. I have used this product for over 40 years, and I am confident in recommending it. This color line consistently delivers vibrant and lasting results. Whether you're in a hair salon or coloring at home, Wella Color Charm provides the best outcome.

A Life of Blonde: Flaws and Fixes

For most of my life, my hair has been blonde. In my pre-teens, it was naturally light blonde, and I adored it. However, as my hair turned from its natural color, I began to lighten it myself, achieving several years of captivating white blonde hair. Looking back, that platinum blonde hair did not look natural at all, and it was challenging to keep the roots in sync with the hair's overall color. I eventually had to undergo a major haircut to the chin length, after which my hair transitioned to a beautiful golden blonde with lighter highlights and lowlights a shade or two darker.

Since the late 1980s, my hair has been a stunning golden/honey blonde with hints of white blonde highlights and light caramel lowlights. It looks natural, healthy, and absolutely amazing. If I could dye my hair any shade, I would choose the most gorgeous white, platinum blonde.

Daring Dye Decisions

When considering colorful hair, one must be prepared for diligent maintenance. Keeping your hair uniformly colored requires constant attention to the roots. Every two to three days, you might need to touch up the roots to maintain the vibrant look. Skilled hair colorists can help you achieve and sustain the desired color. Some celebrity hair colorists, like those for Lady Gaga, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, and Ashley Simpson, are known for their expertise in maintaining stunning platinum blondes and pastel shades.

So, why not sign up for a bold and daring appearance? If you're confident in maintaining the look, a white or platinum blonde might just be the perfect choice for you. If you're feeling extra adventurous, try black tips with a platinum blonde or a platinum blonde over a black undercut. Enjoy the journey and embrace your inner artist through vibrant hair colors!
