[quote=Anonymous]My niece started with blue hair as a teen, she's 33 now (mentioned her in a diff thread and realized I got her age wrong). She had epilepsy and was viciously hassled by other kids, dropped out at 16. Her school only allowed hair to be dyed in colors that were natural for hair, regardless of whether it was the person's own hair color. Some shrink accused her of using hair and clothes to rebel or something when she was 18 and she hit back with the fact that she had TRIED to look normal and everyone was mean to her anyway.

It has become very mainstream. I work with a young woman who makes her appearance a major project. She often goes for a 50's retro effect with twists (like $800 sweaters that look 50s but have an applique or something that would never have been used then, no idea where she shops). When she started she was platinum blonde but the color changes at least once a week, currently a cotton-candy-ish frosty pink and blue that is actually lovely.

My other niece, who IS LGBTQ (a major surprise to her parents when she came out halfway thru her freshman year) and NEVER rebelled as a teen, also changes her hair color frequently but started many years after her straight sister. Sometimes they do a silvery white I find odd--Barbara Bush on a 20-something. [/quote]
