Adventures in Hair Dye Land
So, the blue faded into a mottled mess. It was interesting looking though, various shades of blue and gold (due to the original bleaching process). So, a new bleaching was done, to attempt to get an even color to start with. Of course, this wasn’t exactly the best idea. I actually ended up with platinum roots, with green ends. No pictures of that part though. Applied the purple dye, which came out very well, but since there was no red left in my hair to begin with, under most lighting (which tends to be florescent) my hair appeared blue. It looked brilliantly purple in my bathroom (which has very warm tungsten lighting).
The back of my head faded much faster than the rest of my hair. I figure that it must have rubbed off on my pillowcase (since it was purple instead of its original gray). I had some purple and blue dye left, so I mixed it together, and used that. It turned out fairly well, but looked more blue than purple.
After this faded, since I was going to be visiting my parents, I attempted to dye my hair black. But instead it looked navy blue. When I went to get my hair cut, I asked the girls there what they thought. They told me that since my hair had no red pigment in it, not only would it look blue, the dyes would tend to fade a lot faster. So, I dyed my hair red. The faded parts looked really great as red, and the navy blue parts were then close to black. Then on top of this, I used the black dye, and thus my hair was indistinguishable from my natural color.
And that’s the update on my adventures in hair dye land. I’m sure many more adventures are to come!
