Question toward females

[Skettch]

Why do some of you dye your hair or wear large amounts of makeup?

Allot of girls at my university seem to have an obsession with both, I personally think they would look allot more attractive if they cut significantly back on this stuff, but I am curious as to hows the ones actually using these products feel.

[Swarovski]

a lot of women feel confident with makeup and a different hair colour because they have insecurities. They do it to make themselves feel attractive, rather than to make boys attracted to them.

[solstice]

Some women just like different hair color or prefer covering grey, and like what they look like with makeup.

I often dye my hair red because I like how it looks, I have a fiery personality so the red tends to suit me better, and simply because it's fun

I like makeup because it is almost a meditation to apply, I like how it highlights my features and how the colors are so versatile. But- I don't wear excessive amounts of it either The one thing I MUST have is lipstick, though- I look dead without it as my lips are SO pale

Because I would scare the life out of people if I didnt put my war paint on! Honestly I dont know how my partner can face me in the morning! It makes me feel completely different about myself. Alot more confident with make up, and dying your hair is so much fun!

[pensfan2006]

I don't dye my hair but I do wear lots of makeup. I feel it makes me look more attractive. I don't wear the liquid foundation but I wear a lot of black eyeliner and eyeshadow. I know that my husband preferrs how I look with all my makeup on and if I'm running late and don't have time to apply my makeup before school or work, people will ask me all day long "what's wrong, you look so tired." That's an indicator to me that I need it!

i compulsively change my hair (i'm itching for a new cut and color right now) because i just get BORED with what's on top of my head. a new haircut/color make me feel new and fresh and it's exciting. until the bangs are in that awkward in between phase and the roots start showing...

can't answer the makeup question, i wear very little, even going out or on stage.

Yep! Me too! Lately I've been about 5 shades of red and currently a deep brown. Thinking about purple next (my daughter LOVES when I go for my wild shades- last red was manic panic's Vampire red LOL) But this last round I wanted to go more subtle for a change.

I hate makeup. Dont do it if your just around the house.

(no boss, jus' sayin)

Awww- how cute- you think we women dress up just for you! Just razzin ya, but women don't just dress up for guys. And- you aren't the only guy with an opinion

[momto3]

I wish I had time to put on make up or fix my hair! I wash and go (if that). Sometimes it's just go.

I would change my hair color everyday if I could. It's fun being a red head one day and a blond the next BUT I'd rather have healthy hair so I don't do it.

Asking us why we do it is like asking us why we shave our legs or wear high heels that kill our feet....we just do!

Yes I understand I am not the only guy with an opinion. But I do hope I am the only guy in her house with an opinion. Jus' sayin. I know, I got the same reply from her when I said that. "you think this is for you"?

[gfundaro]

I dye my hair because I'm already going grey Don't wear a lot of make up though, thats pretty gross in the gym. I like mascara cause I like my eyelashes. :-D I don't wear much besides that unless I have a blemish and then use cover up.

Great answer!

Same for me. I'm always changing the color I get bored and its fun to change it up.

As far as make up - I dont wear much either. I like the natural look.

[goyongj]

It's like guys pumping steroid to cover their insecurities.
Do you think those biatches with stripper looking, have high confidence?
If you throw some jokes about her looks, she might even cry lol

Wouldn't you prefer to not feel the need to put it on though?

I would rather see the truth then a cherry topped facade of reality :O

[fitinidaho]

I barely wear makeup and I dye my hair because I would look 60 instead of 40ish.

I guess I understand the concept of hair dying but it just feels to me that everyone will get gray hair eventually, its not something to be ashamed about.

When I see a 50 year old female who continues to dye her hair bleach blond I personally think it looks horrible - In my personal opinion she would look allot better if she had gray hair, that is the natural progression.

not shaving your pubes is natural progression also. just cause its natural doesn't mean its pretty

Yea, and being grey at 21 isn't really natural progression imo...seems premature to me

Yes, it does look horrible. There is a point in your life when you should quit dying your hair. That point is when you actually LOOK your age.

haha what a comparison For the record, I wear very little makeup and I stopped dying my hair because I've learned to love my natural brown

X's 2!!! LOL!

There's also a difference between a 50yr old going beach bunny blonde and that of a 50yr old maintaining a color somewhere within their natural range. Some women also find the *texture* of their hair improves when it is colored as opposed to allowing it to gray.

My aunt (in her late 60s) once told me that blonde covers grey the best.... /shrug

*prays to never get greys*

There's a difference between blonde and *beach bunny blonde* (Don't get me wrong- I adore beach bunny blonde- but after a certain point- it just doesn't look right on *most* women )

Well it boils down to personal preference I guess, I only shave my beard once a month and let everything else grow, I prefer bushy to shaved when it comes to females - I don't wanna feel like I am ****ing a big breasted 12 year old :O.

I don't think hair color has much effect on a persons appearance or attractiveness.

I see allot of females trying to fight a loseing battle when it comes to aging, its just something everyone has to accept, instead of trying to look like their 20 they need to spend more time trying to be healthy at their current age and less time with the millions of cosmetics that are pushed off onto them.

To the girl going gray at 21 - I wouldn't worry about it - theirs allot worse things, going bald I could see as an issue but if its only hair color then I don't see how it would have a negative effect, it just makes you more unique.

LOL

And yes solstice, there is a huge difference.

[Sable_Strenua]

i dye my hair to try something different and to play with my look
and i die it a NATURAL shade

I have to admit that i DEPLORE seeing women my skin tone die their hair PLATINUM and super-sonic sunshine blonde

then top it off with piercing blue contacts.

I mean seriously....i understand changing it up having fun but lets be real they look like aliens.

but yeah, if its a nice, flattering hair color and the makeup is fresh and compliments the girl/woman i don't see anything wrong with that. i don't perceive it as an insecurity. What's wrong with trying new (flattering) looks out?

Hahaha....yea that's true, going bald would be a lot worse For the record, I dye my hair my natural color, nothing crazy. Sometimes I consider leaving it alone, but then when I start to see the greys it just brings me in touch with my mortality, and nobody likes that. But hey maybe some day I'll take your advice, I do like being considered unique.
