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*

I actually had far better luck with Manic Panic than with the current dye (Color Jamz I think) - that was what we used the first time, and the parts that bleached and then were rinsed properly came out great. But I didn't subject it to any real endurance testing. I may just order some Special Effects online - I've heard nothing but good things about the stuff, and it's what my brother uses.

I guess I'm lucky that my hair's thick enough to stand up to repeated bleachings. 'Cos I'm definitely going another round with the bleach today. No dishwater green hair for me, thanks. :)
