So, I'm seeing a lot of women walking around with either full heads of, or streaks and stripes, of bright color in their hair. Kool-Aid red... unicorn silver mingling with turquoise, deep purple, and such.
Don't be offended if you have done this to your hair because I know a lot of ladies are, and it doesn't bother me per se. But I will not be participating in the Little Mermaid/Rainbow Brite/Jem and the Holograms look. Not saying my "look" (ahem, what look?) is better. But I don't do extreme trends, never have, never will.
I mentioned my opinion of this hair dying trend on Facebook, and I got some thumbs-ups of agreement, as well as some others who are sporting the funky stripes, and wanted to defend the look.

I am not saying you shouldn't have hair that resembles My Little Pony. To be honest, I remember lusting after neon Disney Princess hair as a kid, something in me is still kind of drawn to it.
BUT - it's not my style. So, all of this got me thinking that fashion-wise, I'm pretty non-adventurous.
Over the decades, I've passed on so many trends. Some with no qualms, others with a little regret at not having the guts. White eyeliner comes to mind. I thought it looked great on my friends, but was convinced I had the wrong eyelids for it. Capri pants. It probably took me a full two years before investing in a pair of these, meanwhile every single girl at the bars had a pair except me, who was unfashionably still in jeans.
Also, I have Ugg-knockoff boots now. It only took me about 15 years to get comfortable with the idea of them. No idea why.

I am a person who has never worn nail polish that wasn't either red, pink, brown, or some combo of those hues. Once, I actually had a bottle of nail polish in my collection that was Easter egg blue hue. But I only wore it once! Ever.
What trends have you bucked versus went with, and do you have pics!? I'd love to see some looks.
