Stupid hair dye.

[missroserose]

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm cut out for the bleach-and-dye crowd.

Two separate attempts now, with my brother's help. The first time I didn't rinse out the bleach well enough, and ended up with hair part-purple, part-brown, and part-frosted. The second, the blue dye didn't take *at all* (despite leaving it on for a good forty minutes), so I have hair ranging from yellow to very light blue to (mostly) variations on seaweed green. Not the most encouraging results, especially given how much the bleach and dye costs.

Honestly, I'm sort of tempted to just bleach it once more and leave it - because my hair's been dyed a couple of times before, the roots start out blonde and then slowly fade into quite a nice foxy red. It's a cool effect, and no one's going to think it's natural, which was sort of the point of the exercise.

But still...I want my blue hair, dammit. Or pink. Or purple. Other people have it, so why can't I?

*pouts*

You may recall the disappointing salon trips I had trying to get my own blue hair. I feel your pain.

Yeah, although at the salon you'd think they'd know what they were doing and could get it right on the first go. I at least have the "learning curve" excuse. :)

Of course, if they *do* know what they're doing, then I can say "This is way more work than I'm interested in" and can duck out early.
