Old Lady Purple Hair

I experiment and do it myself.

Old lady purple hair. Her wildest foray was the time she went vivid purple. But honestly it seems to have started from these dear white haired ladies using purple rinses to counteract the yellowish cast. To fix this many of them turn to blue hair.

I know the answer to this. As people go grey many have an unattractive yellowish cast. Have you ever wondered why old ladies sometimes have blue or purple hair.

It is simple color theory. If you have ever seen a color wheel the colors across from each other when mixed cancel each other for the lack of a better term. First off many older women find their hair starts turning an ivory yellow color that is hardly attractive.

Elderly women with greying hair sometimes tint their hair blue to counteract the yellow hue of aging hair see. I actually see older women with purple streaks in their hair my ex s mum had purple in her hair. Blue rinse thus leading to the use of the term blue haired old ladies or just blue hairs to denote the elderly.

Most likely cuz she s a bad ass. Hair dye is harsh. That fact aside i will dye my hair in crazy colors when i get old it would be easier with the gray hair.

As it turns out there are motives and mistakes that lead to the hair bluing. We smiled and waved at each other each nodding in acknowledgment of the pastel shade that adorned us like a crown. If they had blue hair.
