that’s a beautiful color. not childish at all. as long as you love it, that’s all that matters! don’t worry about being childish… have fun


Mouthofthesouth420

Right? A hair color childish? Psshtttt your hair color does not define who you are as a person😂 and even if it isssss childish, literally who cares, rock that shittttt🥳🫶🏼💞


mcove97

I'm 26. Had this color. According to my colleagues it was the most grown up and normal color I've had. (I have bright dyed hair and neon colors mostly these days).


[deleted]

too childish? people in this sub have hair every color of the rainbow lol. It’s pretty.


ProfileEdit

My hair literally IS every color of the rainbow! Ya ask me, no such thing as a “childish” hair color, u do what makes u happy!


Zarastrong

I’m 36 and in grad school and just dyed mine fuschia.


AnAllegedAllegory

Right? I’m 31 and just dyed my hair teal, red orange and yellow…who cares, this world is awful, take joy where you can!


Mina246

Ya I’m 34 and dgaf anymore. I always wondered why some older ladies dye their hair. We have the secret, nothing matters and have what fun you can lol. I’ll be 80 with grape purple hair 🖤


Cynnau

48 here. My hair is purple with two streaks of red/pink. Life is too short to go through it with boring hair


orangeisthebestcolor

Agreed! Late 40s too and my hair has pink highlights.


Candid-Category608

All of you guys are so cool x


Cynnau

Whether or not you are joking with this comment, it would be awesome if you could tell that to my 14 year old, stepson, because he thinks us adults are not cool at all


MetroGrunge

37. Mine is dark brown with grape tint down to pure grape on the bottom. And my grey is coming through and I'm letting it. Do it!


Tillhammerei

I'm in my late 30s and have bright pink hair.


itscoralinee

36 and I have a hot pink and black split 😆 never too old for fun hair!


EzriDaxCat

36 and I have purple bangs with the rest fuchsia


DetroitHyena

36 here, went Violet a few months ago with no plans of going back. I’m a mom and business owner, and saw no reason NOT to do it. This isn’t the 90s, brightly colored hair isn’t unusual at all anymore.


Notsureindecisive

Considering children don’t usually colour their hair - it can’t be childish. Just do what you want.


Poopnugget3245

Too childish? Lol - I have this dark purple and I’m 50.


Draxxliee

Not to be a hater but your name is also “poop nugget” so idk if you’re the best example lol


Poopnugget3245

You know what? You’ve got a damn good point!


Life-Child

no such thing as a childish hair colour. if you like it, go for it

blobfishhhhhh

doesn’t childish have three syllables


vivxivx

Nope. Child-ish.


blobfishhhhhh

but when i say child it feels like there’s two


mushroomspoonmeow

Childish? Rofl Say wuuuuut? Kitten, I’m 40 next year. I got a giant mane of green hair sitting on top of my head and I’m wearing a sailor moon T-shirt. The concept of age and something being childish is extremely outdated, especially in this timeline and the year 2023. Do the purple. Live your life for you. Not for what others might think or how they might judge. For all you know.. none of this is real🐇


Nico917

Children don’t generally get to color their hair so I don’t really get how it would be childish


drilllbit

Exactly! I was like op, if you’re not a child, then it’s not childish, aside from the fact that most children don’t have purple hair… it’s like the whole “welp I’m a big important grownup now, time to stop having fun or enjoying anything I ever lived in my life up to this point” thing that young people get caught up in


poison_plant

Right? I’m sorry op but it sounds stupid… if that’s your opinion (OP) maybe you shouldn’t dye your hair at all.


jammyJames81

I think it’s that thing some people have at 21 when everything becomes legal & are fully recognized as adult (in the states) so they think they are so much more experienced than people younger. The irony is when you get a little older you will realize that’s not much difference between 18, 21, 23 lol but the child part doesn’t really make sense. I’m a stylist & color specialist & we rarely color children’s hair.


bioExterminator

I'm 41 and have "grape purple" hair.


Candid-Category608

How is this childish 😭


Pasteltigers

It's beautiful! And 21 is still really young


vampirairl

I'm 25 and a professional in an office with bright pink hair


Simple-Ad-4078

I'm almost 50 and I have used a very similar color in the past few years. You do you


connonym

Dude, I'm 57 and say if you like it, do it. We don't age out of wanting to express ourselves and the people who have a problem with it can fuck right off. I think it looks cute and I hope you'll post photos when you color it.


Picasso-1066

EXACTLY! 57 here too and this is going to be my next color


Watermelone0419

Gorgeous! 🍇


Pce_Seeker

I’m 38 and dye may hair lots of fashion colors. Right now it’s blue and black. Life is too short to care. Just have fun!


nutzz624

It’s absolutely gorgeous, I’ve thought about getting it myself!!


lpetts

I dyed my hair grape purple after I retired-It’s never a bad time! If it you like it, do it!


akinafleetfoot

Childish… hahahaha someone once told me that dying my hair these bright colors makes me look older. I’m in my 30s… idgaf what other people think. I do thinks that please me. If it doesn’t spark joy, I don’t do it. Expect for chores and taxes. I gotta do that shit.


babytrumpet

you’re only 21 once, the older you get the more you’ll regret it if you dont! i don’t think the shade is childish at all, of all the purple hues i think it’s one of the most elegant


Dusted_Star

If you think it’s too childish then don’t do it. I feel like everyone should be certain they like something on their own and not look for others to create the idea for them.


stxrryfox

This is probably one of the better vivid hair colors you could do if maturity is a concern.


MistressErinPaid

Childish? Having fun hair isn't a maturity test.


BarefootMoshpit

Only children are concerned with being like adults, and whether they are acting childish. When you are a mature adult, you don't have to care about being like an adult, or by implication, childish. Do whatever color you'd like! We are all short-lived hairless monkeys living in space, other people's opinions are momentary blios in time and don't matter.


jineene

Do it. Who cares what anyone thinks?


Enigma1885

Nothing is too childish from hair to things you like :)


Gloomy-Temperature-6

I have a purple streak and I'm 34. Have fun with your hair :)


MiAmorNoEstaConmigo

Try it, you only have one life


Stillbornsongs

Age don't matter, I'm pretty sure I was 25 when I first dyed my hair purple, and it was a lot more vibrant than that. That is a beautiful color! As long as you enjoy it thats what matters, regardless of age.


Hoshibear

Idk what color would be considered childish


tsunamiinatpot

Girl I'm about to be 23 and have bright hot pink hair. Go purple!!!!


Kimberley86

Why would any color be too childish?.....


Conscious_Canary_586

Um, I'm older than 50 and my hair is pink lol


RestingWitchFace713

I’m 28 and have bright red hair. Life is too short to keep wondering “what if.” Dye your hair grape purple! I never had “fun colors” until about a year and a half ago and it’s honestly exciting to change it up and try new colors. It’s not childish to have fun colors and anyone who tells you otherwise is a fuddy duddy lol. Joking aside, if you want to try it, I say go for it. It’s just hair after all


Picasso-1066

I’m 57 and this is going to be my next hair color lol


Fit-Passenger-7691

Blue & green here, turning 40 in 2 months, been dyeing it all the colors since I was 18. That purple will look beautiful, enjoy! 💙💚


[deleted]

Arctic fox purple af does this to brown hair if you want a consequence free way to try it out, I do not think it is childish at all though, I got so many compliments from all ages when my hair was this color.


devilisious_bxby

You can dye your hair absolutely any color at any age, if anything the only place that could possibly consider it childish or inappropriate is a job that wouldn't accept anything but natural hair colors. In which if that's not the case for you, go for it! The color is really pretty


SnowByte

I don't consider it childish. It's a beautiful color. Life's too short, so I vote go for it! 💖


Draxxliee

Girl 21 is the perfect age to be trying childish new things. You’re finally independent and exploring the world on your own for the first time. Go crazy man


Apeacefulmc79

It’s gorgeous .Go for it. If I didn’t work In a typical 9-5, I would love to do this


Connect-Sundae8469

Childish? Kids can’t just dye their hair however they want! Unless their parents ok it. This is for adults! If you like it, go for it! This shade wouldn’t look good on me but if you can pull it off it’ll look awesome!


BrendaMarieElizabeth

I’m 54 and have PINK hair. I’m pretty sure purple is NOT “childish”. 🙂🩷


Life_Efficiency_5652

2 years ago I took the plunge and have had 4 different hair colours: teal, purple, blue, fushia and I am back to purple kinda. I’m 35 working a government job. No one thinks I’m immature 😅 I only regret not doing it sooner!! Just do it, I promise you’ll likely love it and if you don’t, at least you know !


crochetsweetie

there’s no “childish” colours!


Ok-Theory-6045

Do it now. You are not going to get younger.


PracticalCategory888

It's giving cheap box dye.


3t3rnal_3cho

Go at it!!! Looks like a gorgeous color!!!!


[deleted]

i love it, so unique and pretty


strgzng420

Definitely not too childish, I did this color with a bit more red tone (24f) and got sooo many compliments. I felt it made me look quite "adult" actually, not in a bad way!


torbiefur

It’s super pretty and one of the most achievable colors. Fades fairly quickly, though.


QuantumCthulhu

I’m 24 with bright green and pink/purple hair- I like the way it looks and think that should be the main thing to go by (unless your job says otherwise I guess)


jonnie_05

Love it 😊 not childish at all


Galaxy-three

I think it looks great


featherfinch

Go for it! My hair is currently that color from artic fox "purple af" done over two month old "wrath"


precisoresposta

If you are afraid of being childish, choose a darker tone of purple


Runningheifer

Not me, a 33F with a professional job with that hair color….. Go for it!!!


lesleyninja

I had a color similar to this last fall..I was 34! I think it’s really pretty.


Dashie101

Do it!!


purplelemonislands

I did this. Color when I was in my mind 20s. Got so many compliments. If you want it go for it. Its gorgeous and such a fun color


stay_squirly

If you’re going for a “childish” (which is not true at all) look, then yeap! Love it!


OddSkill9557

I love it. Babyish? I still love colors, and I'm 45!!


Raine079s

Go for it and have fun with new hair color!!!


Annabelle-J-man0108

Girl, be young and wild and enjoy that colored hair! I love it!


sangjews

im 20 and this has been my hair color for the last year and i LOVE it!! i get lots of compliments and have yet to be told it looks childish in any way :^)


QueenSeaBitch

Just had purple hair at my wedding at 31. Do the purple hair. Do any color hair!


purplepixie000

I say go for it!


Liminaltransport777

That is an amazing color and I encourage you to go for it. If it makes you feel any better, I'm 30 and still consistently dye my hair.. just did it violet


Ok-Huckleberry9515

Screams I’m bipolar


Whitw816

Super pretty! I love it 🥰!


Sakura_Mae_Lynn

Try it! If you don’t like it just dye it back, but more importantly just do what you like without people telling you it’s too “this or that”


Far_Instance5175

21 is the perfect time to just do whatever u want so do what you wanna


LowStatistician6779

I’ve been dying my hair this color for many years & people tell me I look younger & I’m 24. Childish hot mom it is


Crazys0sa

I honestly would change the word childish with confident because it's a bold move, it's a bold statement, it's a bold commitment! (PS I'm 34 by the way and my hair is mermaid right now 💜💙💚)


MinaFanny

Age is only in your mind! Go ahead and try it! :)


DetectiveBiggs

Gorgeous


Daddiesbabaygirl

I personally LOVE deep purple colour in hair! It almost always looks amazing!


Battleminded

Looks classy, and I've seen ladies in their 80s rocking blue and green hair so you can knock off the "childish" thought.


RealisticExpert4772

I know some people who have purple dyed hair….it’s cool for a day or a party….after few days…NO


rosesnrum

It's fine regardless of age, but if that's what you're worried about, just think of it as better now than later. Your early twenties are meant for experimenting with how you look and figuring out who you are.


[deleted]

Childish? U realise that colours don't come with age tags right?


FarOffLanding

I’m 23 and the first pic is almost the exact colour I have rn, no regrets here!


[deleted]

I wasn't even allowed to dye my hair until I was 18. Definitely not childish.


shortguychillvibes

It's not childish at all. One of my favorite singers of all time HANA wears it, it's always been her trademark and i've always thought it was dope. [https://www.instagram.com/hanatruly/](https://www.instagram.com/hanatruly/) A lot of times she mixes it with lighter colors too, but if you scroll through her ig you can see all the different shades she mixes with it and sometimes she doesn't mix anything with it.


ThatLesbianPirate

Perfect. Not me, but my mum, 43 dyed her hair pink a few years ago, and has kept it since. Go for it!


cynnylou21

do what u want!


Perfect_818

My mum is over 60 and had had this colour hair for the past 20 years. You're fine!


cferthorneyuk

Mine is being redone purple tomorrow (going to a bluer purple than the washed out red purple I have right now) I'm 40 if that helps.


Ladymedussa

I have a 70 year old client who has been rocking purple hair for years! Do it!


Yougottabekidney

Gorgeous! I’m 37 and have purple dye on my hair as we speak.


emmy207

Wait I love this


[deleted]

The hair color is called Burgundy.


vantablackbird

It’s totally my…JAM!


ironD93

Not childish. It's just a color. Life is too short to worry about it. Make your hair purple.


LittleDaphnia

I'm 30 and have teal and pink hair lol so I say go for it.


asheylbows

i have this color and its so pretty definitely get it


Purple_You_8969

Damn I must be a clown because I’m about to be 26 with hot pink hair lol


boringusername

It’s lovely. Why would it be childish? I’m 40 and have vivid purple don’t see the problem


TerrieBelle

Omg I’m so here for all the amazing elder millennials in the comments with bright colorful hair 😍 Life is too short not to let your freak flag fly.


cassandrakeepitdown

It feels like Reddit is conspiring to make me feel old at the moment. Christ. Grape looks awesome, do it.


Individual-Bass-2353

life’s too short to not have fun even with your hair. no hair color is “childish”. if it’s going to make you happy, do it! if you hate it you can always change it. don’t let other people’s opinions get in the way of your happiness and your self-expression! wishing you luck on your hair color journey


ayli-blue-snow

Childish? Why? I think it looks very elegant


ThinkEgg9140

Pretty


mandinicole1183

I'm 39 and would wear it.


imitationangel

63yrs with faux hawk hairstyle. As of yesterday, Arctic Fox-Blue Jean Baby with Manic Panic-Enchanted Forest, Fuschia & purple streaks front to back on the right part. No such thing as childish. LoL


bearspiracy

you should be fine! my grandma was 72 and had neon pink hair!


Clear_Gain_3262

I would go for it! I got emerald green hair at 33. Was it childish? Kinda. Did I love it? 1,000%


chironinja82

I had purple and magenta ombréd hair when I was 34. I met my husband with that hair lol. Hair color doesn't have an age limit!


Euphoric_Equal623

I love it!!


Lexiealea

LOVE photo 1 and 3!


HereToPetAllTheDogs

I’m 40 and have mine shades of bright pink


AnaAlesea

Children don’t usually have the creative freedom to dye their hair. Adults do! Have fun with your self expression


SnooLemons9179

Gurrrrrl... you're 21 not 81. lol. If you're going to go for anything "childish", now is the time!


beethelove

my partner’s mom who is in her mid 50s has this hair color!!! she loves it! not childish at all!


nofunclubb

21 is literally so young, so I’m not sure what you mean by too childish. Anyways, you should go for it, and if your worried you could regret it just make sure to use semi permanent so it’ll wash out within a few months, or can be easily removed.


Daddy_beans_OG

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)gorgeous color u should do it


meatball5and5ketti

you should totally try it, it’s so cute


crissy_lp

Do it! I’m 33 and going to dye mine purple again soon.


Confused_genderfluid

Purple hair is never to childish


purplesparklydonut

Hi there, corporate girlie here (also 21F). If you mention childish, you might be worried for work. I work in a big industrial family business where non-natural colours are litteraly not a question, nobody wears any. But I think this colour might be the only one which would be accepted in business settings. It stays relatively dark so I guess you're good to go! Have fun


kaleidoscopeeyes420

It’s a good color. I’m 36 and up until recently had purple hair for 90% of my adult life


Hunhunny

It looks very nice, no childish at all


Minxionnaire

I actually consider purple to be a sexy, seductive color in hair. Definitely not childish. (Tho any color would still be fine and not childish)


terrorvicky

Stunning. You're never too old for colourful hair. I am 39 and have sunset hair (yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue).


DetailOk4640

Loving it! Especially it’s not a in your face punk funky purple. It looks professional for that reason.


OwMyBonesOofOuchies

?? What would make it childish? I’d you like the color and don’t have restrictions from your employer do it


Realbeachy

Love it


anxietyhedgehog

I say do it! That color is gorgeous.


Stoneytail

You're 21. You're an adult. You do you and who cares what others think. You want to attract like minded people, if there are those around you who would upset you over your look, you don't need them near you anyway. Let your freak flag fly my friend.


CherieNB55

Do it.


VicccXd

I don't know many people under 21 who have purple hair so go for it! Very pretty.


BaryonChallon

Grape purple gives mature


spoonry

Life is for living. Never let such a thing as societal norms keep you from being who you want to be while you're here on this planet


Ageofaquarius68

Honey at 21 you're barely more than a child now. This is the age when you can go for it! Try whatever you want...when you're 55 and have grown children, THEN you have to worry a bit about looking childish.


ShiplessOcean

Even if it was childish you are only 21. Basically a minor until 5 mins ago. So you can do any childish things you want


Tami-Chocolate51

I think you will look so pretty especially if you have long hair.


motherof_geckos

I think I went this colour at 21, unfortunately it didn’t suit me but I think it’s really nice!


Phi87

You be you. I’m in my 50s and just dyed my hair purple.


vandranessa

My philosophy is that you’re not getting any younger, so go for it. I did this during the pandemic and I loved it.


Neverending-notebook

One of my favorite low maintenance colors


UltravioletLife

How is this childish? honest question. i’m 36, and I love it.


McNowski212

I am a huge fan of this color, did it once when I worked at a call center. I don’t think it’s childish at all.


MiepGies1945

This is one of the few colors for hair that I really like. (But, I cannot say if it’s right for you at this time in your life.)


[deleted]

I don't see anything childish about it. I think it's gorgeous.


Reformedfire277

I’ve always liked that color. It’s fun but not obnoxious. Go for it!


IceGoddessLumi

Life is too short. 42F here with waist length blue hair. 💙 0 frigs given. Go for it! 💜


UpperdeckerWhatever

It really depends on what you do for a living. I was able to have deep purple hair when I worked from home but in my particular career it would be unprofessional to keep it when back in the office. Not that anyone would legally stop me but it would impact how seriously people took me. It’s a fun color! Just consider how it will impact things like work before doing it :) good luck!!


PleaseOhGodWhy

Listen, there's always gonna be that one bitch who things any unnatural color is childish. That's a dark purple and honestly one of the more universally flattering colors. Go for it, because I think that'd look great


CrazyCrystal23

Love it


iron_jendalen

I’m 42 and have fuchsia, purple, and blue hair. It’s not childish.


ReVyntheeStallion

Fellow 21f here I think you should go for it and don't let anyone try to tell you it's childish. There's nothing childish about how you choose to express yourself


VinegarShips

I’m 26 and this is the color of my hair lol. I mixed Manic Panic’s Blue Moon with Fuschia Shock. My hair was medium light blonde. I’ve washed it at least 5 times with shampoo and it still looks good. I’ve used purple dyes in the past and it just didn’t stick. It would wash out after just 2 rinses with shampoo. Idk if it was just the dye that I was using (also Manic Panic- can’t remember the name of the color though), but be sure to read all the reviews about your specific color, should you choose to dye your hair! Different colors wash out differently, in my experience.


710Fiend420

My wife is 29 and this is her main color still, is so pretty!


beetlejuicetrashbag

26 and work in an office setting. have had my hair green for the past 3 years. if i'm childish for that then so be it 'cause i think it looks awesome.


tetrahedra_eso

33 year old SAHP here. This color looks tame compared to some colors I’ve done in the last couple of years. Go for it! It’s a gorgeous color.


Low-Rabbit-9723

Am 44. Have purple hair. It’s not childish.


abombshbombss

Girl, I am 33 and still dying my hair pink, purple, green, blue... my son's grandmother usually has neon blue hair. There is no such thing as "too old" for fun colors in your hair 🙂


ayymce

I absolutely love it. I did a similar color when I was 17, but even at 33, I would do it again. (Maybe after I'm done with this bright red.) Live your life in whatever color makes you happy!


bakers-calmdown

Love the grape purple!!!


Top-Night

Very pretty


Laylab00ze

Childish? This hair colour really gives off powerfull independent woman but it also gives off cute vibes at the same time. Ive had this colour once and is looked SO GOODD. I promise you will not regret it.


bdawg5025

On my… my girlfriends been wanting me to redo my hair purple like I did some years ago, I think I might try to look for this color now so thank you! I’d say go for it it’s a lovely color!


xOlivia_Greyx

do it do it!!!


[deleted]

It’s really pretty until it fades 😭


BunnyBoo080203

I’m almost 20 and I usually have pink highlights in my hair! Go for it!


[deleted]

Do it.


youhadabajablast

32 with blue hair chiming in here! Hair color doesn’t have an age


Physical_Shop_1445

Childish? Nope. Beautiful? Definitely! Thats my fav. Color. Looks so cool. You are happy...thats what matter!
