If there’s one time of year that you’re bound to see green hair color used the most it will be October 31, Halloween. This is a night where anything goes, no matter how crazy and people will get to great lengths to have a great costume. Just as with any time of the year people want to stand out, and when you are going to a party with every person dressed up in a costume you’ll need something that really turns peoples heads. Halloweeen costumes that need green hair color to be complete would of course be the movie characters mentioned in previous posts, The Joker, Oompah Loompah’s, Toad, but can also go well with any type of costume like a clown, goblin, demon, or just a punk rocker.
The interesting thing about Halloween is that people will actually do and wear a lot of things that they aren’t brave enough to do on regular days because of fear of social judgement. But on Halloween anything goes, and because green hair color will last even past the holiday, you can give an excuse as to why your hair is green. This makes Halloween a great time to dye your hair green and give it a try so instead of people pushing their stereotypes on you by thinking you’re a drug user, a punk, someone who’s crazy, they’ll just dismiss it as left overs from yoru Halloween costume. Then if people respond well and if you enjoy the hair color yourself then you can keep it going for the rest of the year (and already have your costume ready by next Halloween!).
The alternative to using green hair color to color your hair for Halloween would be of course to simply purchase a green colored wig. While it’s not the most comfortable thing to wear it’s not permanent and you can often make it look better than your own since wigs come extremely thick in texture. We’d all like to have thicker hair if even just for a night! But if you do decide to go the route of actually using green hair color it’s not a bad idea to go to a salon and have them do it for you. Most salons will not have green hair color in stock, so purchase yours before you go and they should be happy to do it for you. They will make no guarantees about what the color turns out to look like but they’ll take their time and do it correctly and you can minimize the damage done to your hair.
