#27 Blue Contrast

For this adventure I'd chosen some opposing shades - turquoise and a red-orange shade for a high-contrast effect.
Products used:
* B Blond for dark hair
* LaRiche Directions Turquoise
* LaRiche Directions Bright Daffodil & Poppy Red (mixed)
* Renbow Tinting Brush

First things first - I needed to get rid of the remaining hair colour. It was pinkish purple on the ends - a combination of his last red shade and some colour left over from the dye job before that - and his root regrowth had an orange tint. I painted bleach on to his roots, left it for 30 minutes and then ran it through the rest of his hair for 10 minutes.
After a total of 40 minutes bleaching we shampooed out the bleach and dried his hair.

For this style I wanted the base colour to be blue with red being the less dominant colour in the hair style. I decided on dyeing the black portion of his hair completely turquoise and dyed 2/3s of the lengths at the front red-orange.
You can see in the first picture below that the hair on top was kept out of the way while the turquoise was applied. The ends of the hair at the side of his face were left uncoloured, leaving it ready to apply the red later.
The same technique was applied to the top portion of Adam's hair.

Finally the remaining hair was dyed using the Bright Daffodil and Poppy Red mixture. This shade was sparingly applied with a tint brush. Using as little dye as possible helps to prevent the colours from bleeding into each other.

We left the colour to sit on Adam's hair for about 30 minutes before rinsing upside down to help prevent the orange-red washing into the blue. Here's how Adam's hair looked after drying and some overzealous use of fibre putty!
