Apparently, if you have blue hair, youโre pretty much guaranteed to get started at whole walking around Waitrose

@SeaFury Ooooh nice! Mixed color hair is awesome. Mine is too short to do that kind of thing with.
I say โblue" but mine is more โturquoiseโ to be completely accurate.

@andycarolan it takes effort to keep the blue, yellows eventually over power the blue as it fades ๏ธ

@andycarolan I find that pink also will do it!

@SeaFury Yup, I find the same with mine. I give it a light top-up every few weeks.
A few months ago, I let it all grow out, but I missed it Soooooo much.

@andycarolan My favourite thing was that when I was living in Greenwich that I would go to the greengrocer in Blackheath they said "oh, you're the lady that lives near the park!"
Very bizarre feeling to be remembered on sight in London
(Second favourite was going through Paddington and a woman saw my Vibram Five Finger separated toe shoes and commented on them, looked up at me, saw my hair, and said "You're interesting top *and* bottom!")

@andycarolan I am tempted to colour the whole thing blue and stop doing the multicolours. Its a lot of work!

@OtherRyn Being recognised for bright hair is awesome.
Interesting about the shoes lol... I've always wondered what those things are like to wear

@andycarolan And yet, no one stares when you have plutonium blond hair go figure.

@SeaFury I can only imagine! I've got mine down to a fairly quick process now. Even bleaching doesn't take too long. My hair is fairly short though.

@alexandra lol. I think people just judge where bright colors are involved.

@andycarolan I love them because I have a connective tissue disorder that means I fuck my joints on the regular and I get enough feedback through them to be able to catch before I roll my ankles more times than not.
But they can be absolutely horrible on gravel, the nobbly bits on pavements, and trails unless you are in the ones with slightly thicker soles. But those give less feedback.
They also really weird out some folks, which makes me laugh because open toed shoes and sandals don't seem to bug them.

@andycarolan Funny how green, orange or blue hair is remarkable on younger people, but the old granny with the purple rinse? Not so much.

@OtherRyn I bet they are great for feedback! I guess that's part of the whole barefoot running thing?
I don't find them weird at all... but I don't look forward to flipflop season and seeing peoples feet all over the place lol.

@alexandra Recently, Iโve seen people of all ages with brightly colored hair. Seems to be more accepted than it wasโฆ except in Waitrose it seems lol.

@andycarolan It's definitely part of the whole barefoot running thing (from what I understand. I am not a runner). There's also some back and forth over whether it helps to strengthen the feet and ankles due to not being artificially supported by all the shoe structure we have.
Anymore I use them for weightlifting because I can really plant my power in my heels more easily rather than start to creep forward to the balls of my feet.

@andycarolan You see loads of the kids with great hair colour here and, well, no one blinks an eye. Come on it's so punk era so why the fuss?

@OtherRyn I hear both good and bad about barefoot... I think it's just another example of how diverse and different people are from each other.
Oh now. that's interesting about weightlifting! I can only guess that grip is super important for that!

@alexandra The two girls that started Manic Panic are still looking awesome wearing lots of different hair colors. No restriction on age at all!

@andycarolan I think it depends on your feet, where your center of gravity is, and a bunch of things. Because bodies, yo.
Weightlifting in running shoes makes it harder to power through the heel because the heel is raised slightly above the toes and it's harder to get planted. At least for me.
