Current Hair: Cruella Deville-ish...but red?
Posted 3 months, 2 weeks ago

Ok, so my hair right now is 1/2 bleached 1/2 darkbrown/black.... and I'm stuck on what to do with it.

I had it brown and had a whole bottle of Limelight and decided to see what it'd look like OVER the brown. It looked stunningly well until I washed it the 3rd time...then it was just dark brown/black. Luckily I got no swampiness what so ever. As I was bleaching I saw brown lift and green underneath, so I thought my hair would be tinted green, but to my suprise the green had lifted as well and I became ecstatic when I saw loverly pure blonde.

Anyways, the only dye's that I have access to [sadly] are the one's sold at Spencer's Hot Topic. Those colour's being Color Fiend and select Raw dyes at HT, and Manic Panic at Spencer's. Raw I don't have a problem with as I've used it before and I like it somewhat. Color Fiend I say NO to because I haven't heard much about it, never seen it on someone's head, and what I have heard, I don't like. Manic Panic is okay too, although some of their dye's I dont' really see as worth the money.

Anyhow at the moment all I have is Raw Candy Pink. I've used this dye before and it turned out really pretty. I loved it. Until my older brother squirted me in the back of the head at Silverwood [water/amusement park] that it faded drastically the day after I did it. So now I'm in dire [no pun intended] need of help beacuse my creativity is shot at the moment. ANYTHING you can think of..please let me know. I'm open to everything and every idea would be greatly welcomed and appreciated.

Well, almost every. The only colours I'm not open to are Orange and Yellow...my skintone doesn't exactly support those...thanx alot dad. But yeah, I'd like to be able also to not have to bleach it alot since it's just now finally recovered from being fried [had to leave it an ugly dark brown for about 4 months to get it healthy again].

please help!
i need ideas,eh!

by the way, i have black dye waiting for me, so the brownish/black will become black soon.


...happy dying...

How my hair is now...you can't tell but the colours' split down the middle.

RAW candy pink is the worst RAW dye in existence. It fades insanely quickly. Don't use it if possible.

I would think a turquoise or green would look nice.

I can, but I'd kinda like to be a little more creative...
And raef is right.
RAW fades like no other. The only RAW colour I've seen/used that doesn't is True Blue.
I love the colour Candy Pink gives me though and fading isn't really an issue for me since I can get this kickass red that I plan on using after it if I do end up using the pink.

    Maybe it's just me but I'm loving it the way it is!
    I've been bleaching my hair for almost 10 years and I've never been able to get a uniform result such as yours.

    But that's not what you want so hmmm let me look at the Hot Topic website and get an idea...
    I'm thinking Deep Purple and Fire Red.
    Maybe section it off and do the bottom layer purple and the top layer red.
    That would be pretty sweet actually.

    "RAW fades like no other. The only RAW colour I've seen/used that doesn't is True Blue. "

    I've actually only seen problems with the pink one. Good to know, though.

    The good news is that your hair is light enough in that picture that you can run it through color filters. I may do that, if I have the time :)

    oh oh oh! i can help! color fiend grindin green works pretty good. i know, thats what i have now. its lasted quite awhile and hasnt faded horribly(i was actually suprised.)that would look amazing with the black, in fact i may do something with black and green(with some purple or something)but yes i can verify that at least one color fiend color works.
    oh i hate how hot topic no longer sells sfx.
    also manic panic stuff almost never works for me.


    Be very open and honest with who and what you are. If people still like you, fine, if not, that's their problem.
