Cartoon Character Hair

Tino came up with this idea wherein I needed red hair.  Since I've been annoyed with my hair for some time now, I decided this was a good idea.  I chose a color called Scarlet Shimmer off the shelf at the KMart (a Hydrience color).  One has to know about me and hair dye:  Whatever the box says...it's usually wrong.  People with hair this light (except gray hair) rarely choose to dye, it would seem.  As such, I do tend to get more vivid results.

Well.

I now have hair that is a very rich, dark pink.  I colored it twice to get the most even coverage I could.  It's not bad coverage -- it's really pink.  OK, like a dark fuscia.  In any case, a color that does not occur in nature.  Cartoon hair.  Rob said I looked like an anime version of myself.[1]

I decided that I would adapt to the hair instead of changing it to a lifelike color.  Thus, I am now on the path of accepting my cartoon nature.  Luckily, I have Tino for advice in such matters.
