A person with yellowish hair is blonde, a person with brownish hair is brunette. In analogy to these, what do you call someone with (dyed) blue hair? I've heard 'blunette' from four separate people today, so that is not the answer. I've been leaning towards 'azulite' myself, but someone here may well have a better answer.
I've heard blunette before. Honestly, blue hair does not naturally occur, so there isn't likely to be a word for it any more than any other dyed color. You're pretty much stuck with "someone with blue hair".
Blue hair must be so obnoxious to look at, I know someone who has two small streaks, and it looks amazing, but all out blue must be the biggest eyesore ever. Call them whatever, but "someone with blue hair" is a good choice, giving a person a special distinction might make them think blue hair is OK.

This isn't the Debate forum. I wasn't making a comment on the beauty of blue hair. I fully agree that blue hair, if done improperly, can look bad. That said, any color of hair can look good or bad depending on the person, and the person in question (not me) happens to look fairly good with blue hair. Back to the topic at hand!

I saw nothing debatable in my post. I was making a comment on the lack of beauty that blue hair posses, period. No natural hair color = personal moniker for color in question....
If a red-haired person is called a red-head, why not blue-head?
But I challenge the need for a collective term. "Blue-haired people" is good enough for the uncommon occasion that it becomes necessary to discuss these people as a group. Honestly, is the need to refer to groups of people by hair color so great that we need to coin one or two syllable words to refer to them? Three or four syllables gets you the same effect without needing to go through the effort of disseminating so it can be used this way.

i'd just say that dude/chick with the blue hair. or smurf. but i'd only say smurf privately to my friend i'm not gonna just cheese some random person. although a smurfs' head is technically white. but those are hats right? do smurfs even have hair? just smurfette has hair. but i think it's a weave.
I'd just call them a person with blue hair simply because it isn't natural and I personally don't think we should be giving it a special name.
I am going to have to agree with this.
I do not even like calling someone with that has brown hair and dyed it red a "red-head." They are NOT a "red-head" they are a brunette that dyed their hair red.
So, a brown haired person that dyed their hair blue would be "a brunette that dyed their hair blue." (and there is nothing wrong with that, some people do look good with blue hair.)
I just realized. Mycoloth perfectly demonstrates the devour mechanic.

I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
I tend to say people have blue hair... then again, I avoid referring to people as "brunettes" "blondes" "redheads" etc. in general, and usually say "people with red/blonde/brown hair" for all of them...
I had a friend who did all her hair blue, and she had really long (waist-length) red hair naturally. It eventually faded to a dullish green, and she kept growing it out. It ended up looking like copper with verdigris, and looked better than you might expect.
But... smurfs are bald and have blue skin (unless you're Smurfette, then you're a blonde). Calling a blue-haired individual a smurf is just misguided. Now Sonic, there's one that works.

I actually have a friend that we used to call him sonic, not because he had blue hair, but because his hair was all in spikes "like a hedgehog" said another friend, so we started to call him sonic

I'm about the same but unless somebodys hair is dyed red I call it ginger or something. Ginger orange isn't red.
I dye my hair red down the middle but I would never ever dye it ginger (possibly blue but probably not as it's not realy a draconic colour).
Seriously, why would anyone ever have blue hair? It's pointless to have a name for a hair color no one has. We don't even have a name for a person with black hair so, unless we have that, I'm not even going to go to blue hair. I believe the terms "brunette" and "blonde" generally run racist intentions. There are special terms for colors of hair society believes to be beautiful but there are never special terms for "white hair" or "black" hair, both of which come naturally.

Sapphire, azure, cerulean, cobalt, indigo, navy.
Maybe you can call them:
Azurette
Sapphiren
Cerulean (works as is)
Cobaltian
Indigo (works as is)
Navyed

are we finding names for any possible colour here or just blue?
