Mysterious things

There is a hair-dye thang going on here that I am impelled to mention. I have tried not to, but the need just keeps welling up. It's a daily mystery.

Pretty much confined to men, this cultural phenomenon is an extreme response to going grey. In short, you dye your hair bright orange.

Carrots have nothing on this colour - it's more the shocking hue of fresh rust on metal. Intense.

Not.Very.Natural.

My own culture is no stranger to such things - in fact, this whole idea is very reminiscent of The Blue Rinse.

I think they put Henna in the hair and that usually takes on a orange colour if the hair is grey...

Aha! Mystery solved. Well, the *source* of the colour at any rate :)
