I love coloring my hair! It's fun to play with all the different shades of dye. Have you ever colored your hair?
Yes, I have made it purple and red before.
Those are fun colors! Did you have it done professionally or did you dye it at home?
The red I did at home. The purple I had to have done professionally to get it to stick.
That makes sense! Home coloring is a huge business! In 2011, sales reached $1.9 billion and they're thought to have reached $2.2 billion in 2016.
I can see that from all of the commercials that are on TV. Do you notice that they always show basic colors like black or brown?
That's a good point! They do always show black or brown! Believe it or not, 75% of all women claim to have dyed their hair at least once. Surely they used some other colors!
I would think so! Although, I guess covering gray and making it look natural is responsible for most of those billions.
For sure! I think most women continue to color their hair to cover gray or white hair.
