'Unnatural' hair colors without bleach

[alumiere]

Since I wrote this up for a friend, I thought I'd post it here. This is not how a hair professional would recommend doing this, and may not work for everyone, but it worked for me. My hair was dark, almost black brown before this process and I'd get vibrant dark red, purple and/or blue when I was done. FYI, I almost always used Special Effects

Kira gets her Pravana on eBay, fwiw!

We really prefer it to SFX, because it fades more attractively and is more of a permanent dye than semi-perm.

I heart unnatural in quote marks.

Wow, vibrant color for 2 months?! I wish I'd known this when I used to dye my hair. Sounds like I was doing it way wrong.
