Bite The Bullet and Bleach It

Bite The Bullet and Bleach It

Last night, my eyes settled on a drawer which contains all of my old, brightly coloured hair dyes. Before I knew it, I was stood in the bathroom combing bleach through my hair and mixing up a deep green dye! I'd originally wanted to put purple through it, but I only had a tiny bit of purple dye left :/

[[ With the bleach in...]]

The bleach (Jerome Russell) developed surprisingly quickly! I think that's because I haven't dyed my hair in over a year so there's less pigment and product to cut through. I left it for the maximum 90 minutes, which took my super dark brown hair to a pale gingery yellow.



I rubbed the dye (Special Effects 'Iguana Green' + 'Sonic Green') into the ends and combed it through, left it for 1 hour, washed it out and conditioned my hair. Done! My hair actually feels surprisingly soft and smooth, though as you can see it doesn't look it (flash makes it look worse than it is.) I bought some hot oils today - 1/3 off a Boots - to baby it back to better health, so hopefully it will be better looking soon!

I'm not looking forward to when it fades out - it goes the most disgusting shade of yellowy brown. I'm also all out of the dye so I can't top it up! I'm thinking of buying a pinky plum to go over it with once it has faded enough :)
