hey hey graphixy ppl!! (which I tried to become but just have 0 talent!! damn technology overcoming me!!) *ahem* anyway....
I have a slightly odd request... ok, very odd really!! I've been wanting to change my hair colour for ages, but I'm too much off a wuss to actually do it incase I hate it and then it won't change back!! My request is, would anybody be able, if i give you a picture, to change my hair colour so I can see what it would look like without actually taking the plunge!!
I assume it would be fairly easy to do... but like i said, I don't know the 1st thing about these things!!
See... I told you I was being a tart!!! I think I might have to use that hiding smilie again!! *hides*

It's possibly but there's too many variables. Obviously its not going to be a really accurate representation of what the final product will look like as graphically dyed hair is different than real hair, but if it's only to give you a rough idea I'd say it's definately possible.
I'd be willing to do it; however I'm on my lunch break atm and I don't get off till 6(my time) after that I'm gonna do laundy and then leave for the weekend so if you could get me an image within the next 4-5 hours I could easily do it. If not I would suggest taking the photo in PS, create a new layer and take the pencil tool or something and completely color your hair on the new layer either black or white, then set that layer to hue/color so it should make your hair black and white (grey scale). Then essientially duplicate the layer you just made and change the color to whatever you want your hair to be, like fiery red or something and make sure its on color, then you can change the occupacy to change how dark or light it will be.
As I said this will only give you a rough idea of what you'd look like in that hair color as the actual hair coloring will look different when you apply it and will vary based on your natural hair color. Plus with PS because of the occupacy thing you could make it looks like you have a red hat on your head beacuse the color is so dark or you could make it so light it'd hardly be visible. Just another variable to be aware of.

ah, slight problem I didnt think of!! Ive got 100's of photo's on my pc, but after spending 15mins looking through them, not many have much of my face in!! hehe!! and my camera is out of batteries at the mo... these are the best 2 i could find... yes,... im pretending to play the harp! Don't know if theyre any good though... i can probably get one with a white background in the next few days.
oh, btw.. i was looking to go, witherreally light blonde or dark brunette... See... I'm very undecided!! Don't worry if these are no good and you cant do anything with em.. its not that important!! ;o)

hehehe!! Thanks Shiva!!!! lol, yea I meant lighter blonde but yea... i think it scares me.. and I might blind people!!!
hmmm... i'll have to think about it.... maybe i should just stick with what I got!!! Or maybe go a bit darker.... I quite like the darker ones!!

i think ur hair looks good as is lol but if ur gonna dye it i like the darker ones too then again never really any way to tell how ur hairs gonna hold the color, my hair is dark so i have to like reallly bleach it to get the blonde streaks that i have now, (right now my hair is dark dark brown almost black with red and white streaks) but i hope that helped ~

I definitely prefer the darker ones, the brown looks a lot nicer than the red. Maybe you could go a bit crazy and get it a darker brown and then have bright red or pink streaks in it... Or another colour... It would look awesome. I don't think that the lighter blonde (or even lighter than the light one Shiva made for you) would suit you. Darker is better.
I hope you make up your mind as to what colour you want.
