# Honorarily I am.
So ner.

So just to check- if you dyed your hair black, you wouldn't have black hair?

# So you dye your hair black, making it....black.
Hence the term 'dye' and not 'illusion'.

Ok. You dye a yellow top black. What colour is it?

# Your body would still be producing hair with the original colour,
it's a matter of whether you choose to define hair colour by what you already have or what your body is producing.
Frankly, I don't think it matters that much either way.

# As far as I'm concerned, my hair is the colour it is.
I've had blue, green, red, pink, purple, black, white, blonde, brown, turquoise and now orange. I'm not about to say to someone who asks 'I'm blonde but with ginger dye' that'd make me sound weird, like one of the patients at the secure unit where I used to work. 'How are you, Nurse firstname surname? I am fine. I am just going to bathroom number X on the X floor using the stairs and then I shall come back down the stairs having left bathroom number X on the X floor and come back and talk to you, nurse firstname surname.'

# yeh but "ginger" refers to more than just the hair
it's short for "Gingerenous Syndrome" and results in copper hair, excessive freckles, eyebrow lack, translucency and humourous sunburn.
