    Of course. I would suggest trying a semi-permanent (such as Beyond the Zone - I always use the color Raspberry Kamikaze) first and see how you like that before commiting to permanent hair color. With unnatural hair a job may be hard to find (I generally average applying to 15 places before getting a job), friends may not be so friendly, strangers can be very cruel, and it is a lot of work. Not to mention the stress on your hair. With semi-permanent color you can change shades and colors as often as you want with little to no damage to your hair if you do it correctly.

    If you follow the routine I use you can make a semi-permanent dye stay in almost like a permanent dye and get the benefits of none of the harsh chemicals in permanents. First you bleach your hair with pure bleach (if you have red undertones there is nothing better than the blue tinted Kalidescope bleach in 40 volume). Then after rinsing, do not condition, and let your hair dry to the point of being soggy. Then apply as much dye as your hair will take (at least a bottle and a half if your hair is past the tops of your ears) and cover your head with saran wrap. Make sure it is air tight. This is important for two reasons. First it will seal in your natural heat to activate the hair color. Also it will prevent the dye from drying and becoming inert. Then use a blowdryer on its hottest setting to heat your hair. Get it as hot as you can stand it and maintain this temperature. I would suggest leaving it on for upwards of 45 minutes. (Make sure and read the bottle on this one if you aren't using Beyond the Zone. Beyond the Zone does not use peroxide or ammonia in the dyes so it is safe.) To rinse it out run a warm shower and rinse ALL of the dye out - it will take forever. But it will definatly stain your clothes if you do not. After this seal your hair. I suggest first using your normal conditioner for a few minutes - like normal. Then a pH balanced serum. My favorite is Ion's Repair Solutions Reconstructor Treatment - Keratin Protein Rebuilder. Use this as directed and rinse with icy water to seal your cuticle and make your hair oh so shiny. (Everything here can be found at your local Sally's.)

    If this doesn't work for you then try using a permanent dye. The best brand for permanent unnatural dye is Special FX from what I have heard. A basic Google search shows this will run you about 8 bucks a bottle (where BtZ is about 6) and the company says you will need to retouch about every 3-6 weeks (not that different from the method listed above).

    The most important thing, though, is that you enjoy your gorgeous fuschia locks!

    (I have had pink hair for 3 years now if anyone is wondering how I claim to know these things.)
