It often the case when we look in the mirror, we don’t like what we see – we want to be taller, skinnier or just want to simply change your hair colour. In this day and age if we don’t like something we can change it and that apply to aspect of our appearance. Take for instance Dita Von Teese, she take inspiration for her personal style from people such as Luisa Casati and 40s Hollywood starlet, she dyed her natural blonde hair to black to look like these starlet. The actress Eva Green is guilty of this as well.

Hair dyed can be traced back as far as ancient Egyptians and the use of henna hair dyed, which is still used today. In medieval time it was consider witchcraft to have red hair and woman would frantically change their hair colour using all weird and wonderful method It evidence throughout history we knew even then we was worth it.

In 20th century pop culture we have seen hair colouring making a bold statement about an individual person especially in the punk era in the 70s. Pop stars would often use hair colouring as a way to get people attention; Christina Aguilera and Madonna are evidence in this and can be seen in numbers of photos and videos.

While changing your hair colour could get people attention, often you can give off the wrong kind of attention. Too bold and bright and you forever be compared to Rainbow Bright or Barbie on drugs, often with hair dyed you need the right colour to make it look natural and know your skin tone and what will work for you.

So what do you fancy? You could be blonde and make all the boys wink? How about pink and be candy floss? You could be a mysterious black hair colour and fade into the background of a night sky? Now we live in a world where we can wake up one morning pop alone to your local chemist or hairdresser and change your hair, it no difference to choosing your clothes every morning.
