I have never been experimental with my hair. I had a bowl cut until I was 3 years old and was so traumatized by it (and the photographs of it - see why below!) that ever since, I've had long blonde kind of wavy, kind of straight hair. It has never changed. Until last week, when getting involved in Shave or Dye became a plan. 

I put the colour out to tender on the Early Breakfast and pink was the leading suggestion, so a patch test was arranged with The Style Club in Dublin 2 and I booked an appointment for last Thursday morning. 

Here's what I looked like before:

Until Suzie and Chantelle got their hands on me and got the dye in:

And here is how it turned out:

I still shock myself when I catch a glimpse at my reflection, but the colour change has sparked plenty of "oh, you have pink hair" comments to which I reply almost too enthusiastically to people who are generally well aware already that "it's for Shave or Dye to raise money for the Irish Cancer Society, you can donate by texting SHAVE to 50300".

If you fancy joining me with unnaturally coloured hair, or you want to go down the shaven route like Ed Smith, there's still loads of time to get involved. Get all the details here
