"When did I buy this, again?" -- My hair is now two colours.

Apr 02, 2011 19:37

I remember that dying my hair usually perks me up when I'm feeling shit. Just a new dash of colour changes my perspective of myself. So, I dug out the last 1/3 of the red dye that I've been nursing (using a whole box in one go is such a waste!) and then started mixing and squirting onto my scalp. I soon used up all the dye and realized that the ends of my hair had yet to see a touch of colour! "That won't do!" I said, and quickly dug out a box of blue dye I'd been hoarding since the 90s. I think it was meant to be one of those tints that are added to other colours to give it a blue tinge. Well, I figured I'd just slather some of that stuff, pure, on the ends and see what happened. It smelled like sulphur, but blended well.

Luckily I don't mind the smell of sulphur, because my hair still has that lovely smell even after a shower.

It worked a bit too well and now the lower half of my hair is blue/black while the top half is purple/red. Not as PUNK as it sounds (these are the shades that would let me keep working in a law office or something) but still pretty stark in contrast. Lol, and I still have 1/3 a tube of blue/black dye to go! Guess I'll use that next time and let my hair get ultra-dark.

Hey, I don't want to carry it with me when I move, and throwing it out seems like such a waste. I'm using up all my toiletries I've been keeping around for no reason.

EDIT: LOL OTL I was planning on taking pictures, but didn't have the camera when I posted this. I should have remembered pics or it didn't happen!!

It doesn't look so strong/severe from the front. I like it.

The back is another story, lol.
