scrubjayspeaks1. What type of hair do you have? (Thin, Normal, Thick, Frizzy, etc.)
Fairly thick hair that falls somewhere between wavy and curly.
2. What color is your hair currently?
It's more or less my natural color, medium brown, all over, except for a stripe down the middle of the crown that I bleach and dye. The stripe is currently orange/copper.
3. What colors have you dyed/highlighted your hair?
I've gone through the rainbow with the stripe. I used to dye it seasonally, but I've gotten out of the habit for various reasons and have been sticking to the comparatively understated copper streak.
4. If you could dye your hair any color, what would it be?
I would love to do the stripe in a proper rainbow, front to back, though I'm not sure it would end up looking like much because of the short length. I've always wanted to get a really good mossy green going, but green fades pretty much as soon as you look away from the mirror.
5. What is your hair's length?
The sides are shaved so that what I have is a tapered mohawk type arrangement, though I've never spiked it up. The remaining hair is short (above the tops of my ears at its longest point) and pushed over to one side. Depending on how I style it, it's somewhere between a mohawk, a low fade, and a comb over/side part.
To be clear, what it *actually* is is me with a couple of mirrors, clippers and scissors, and a total absence of shame or good sense. I get what I get, yes, but after quite a few years of doing this, what I get is a hatchet job that is nonetheless broadly acceptable to me.
