Funky colors on your head can draw attention to you. I think the main issue might be with your job. Honestly I have had purple roots with black hair on and off for almost four years and am currently a CNA. Right before I decided I am going to make this huge step, it's usual time for a dramatic change. Although for most their jobs are what really matter first and for most. Besides that, what should your fear be of?

I suppose most don't think about shopping with pink hair or even driving with pink hair. Haven't we ever noticed the car next to us, at a red light, had a person driving with a mo hawk? Of course we have, but the important thing to think about is how unusual they stand out, and sometimes this can be a good thing. So, we shook our nerves off and now are ready to become bold and noticeable.

What about my job? Will this affect it some how? Straight forward I would have to say yes, although not in the way most would think. Even though I am a CNA, helping elders shower and care for themselves, the older my client is the more they like it. Weird? Sure it is, although what most people haven't seen yet becomes exciting to them. As far as your boss, it's true the law states they can't fire or deny you work because of they way you look.

So, good news, we can all become funky, bright, and interesting by dipping our heads in bright pink dye. The best part, it definitely can show you can be comfortable in any color, with out losing your job. Hopefully this has helped you decided if you would like to go funky!
