Back in college, before Kent was salt-and-pepper grey all over his head, he had dark hair with this funky patch of pale grey right in the middle of his forehead.
Of course, his hair was longer then -- this was the early '80's after all. And it was pretty curly naturally.
So he went to get a haircut, and somehow his hairdresser talked him into dying just the grey patch electric blue. And when I say electric blue I mean PAINFUL TO LOOK AT ELECTRIC BLUE. She also assured him that it would fade in about 2-3 weeks at the most.
That damn patch of hair took almost the whole semester to fade to baby blue. The only reason the blue went away is because he eventually got enough haircuts to cut it all off.
And then there was the time he dyed all the hair on his head deep purple. At home. Kinda matched a zippered, hooded sweatshirt I was fond of wearing at the time. He told me when he did the blue thing that I wasn't one to talk, since *I* wore such a loud purple sweatshirt. Didn't stop me much, though :)
