From the brains behind brains on, this is the Moment of Um. Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um.

Moment of Um comes to you from APM Studios. I'm Rosie DuPont.

Um.

I used to sit around with my brother and draw pictures of people with different colored hair.

Sapphire blue, hot pink, lime green, neon orange. And then we'd talk about what color hair we'd want.

I want blue hair to match my eyes. It'd be spiky and short and like turquoise.

And me, I wanted orange hair to match my orange pants and the shirt I'd painted with a big

orange explosion on it. Orange was my favorite color.

What about you?

If you could turn your hair any color in the world, what would you choose?

Definitely purple.

I gotta go with hot pink.

A beautiful grass green.

All the way.

There are a couple different ways to get the rainbow locks of your dreams.

Number one, wigs.

You can get wigs in every color under the sun, and they change your look in a snap.

Another way is hair dye.
