I dyed my hair purple last night - and made plans with a local hair gal to get it officially dyed purple in 2 weeks for my next orchestra concerts in the middle of May. So it’s a MUST that I had to read your newsletter. Love this !! Purple purple purple! ā€œWhen I am an old woman, I will wear purple.ā€ (That’s the title of a poem in a book by the same title. Do you know this poem or book yet?) purple is such a magic color. Thank you for sharing this issue !!! I love it love it!!!

Jodi, I’m so happy you love it! šŸ˜ I wrote it exactly for someone like you that is all ā€œpurple purple purpleā€! My favorite thing about it is that there’s so many different moods to the color, more so than any other color besides blue (to me). I want to see your purple hair! I swore once I left the military, I’d dye my hair like a rainbow but I haven’t dared yet! I don’t know the poem so I’ll definitely look it up! Thank you for the reference! You’re going to rock that hair AND the concert!

Thank you for your service! I wish I knew how to add a photo to this here. I will add a photo to my Instagram tomorrow if my bed head is being okay, then I will share it. How is that? I love having purple hair. That tiny image of me with the blue shirt & the red looking hair - my hair was actually RAINBOW all the way around last year for about 3 months!! I had it dyed for PRIDE MONTH and kept it going for a while. That was fun. <3 the back was yellow & green. If you look closely on this photo, you can see the blue, purple, red & orange in the little photo. :)

Here is a little link on my Instagram from when I had purple hair a year ago! It was my very first foray into really coloring my hair something other than a shade of red, blonde or brown! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJhzF2MuEnM/?igsh=YWlocHk3bDdpZDFv

Wow, I loooove it!!! It looks amazing with your skin tone. My sister-in-laws are obsessed with wigs, so they suggested I try that first. Which is likely what I’ll do - no commitment! 🤣 I bet the rainbow hair was fun. So cool! Thanks so much for sharing with me, Jodi! šŸ’–

Purple is actually not one of my favorite colors but after reading this and dawdling over the photos, you might be starting to change my mind. Gorgeous little break from reality, as always.

Yay! šŸŽ‰ It's always fun to experiment a little. The secret with purple is to enjoy the various shades together. Plain purple by itself can be pretty meh sometimes (flat or overpowering), but you start adding in lilac or fuchsia or mulberry... then it gets really pretty or vibrant or sexy. Give me a deep purple couch in a secret dark library with a sexy mysterious vampire any day. LMAO 🤣

If I get a vote on the nails, galaxy ombre looks really cool.
