here is my dillemma: i am lazy, therefore i dont put my fauxhawk up very often. it looks kick ass when i do, but i dont usually have the time in the mornings.
so im going to get a nice pixie cut instead. now my hair is dyed a lovely array of blues, which on the part that is showing is faded, but underneath is bright because it is almost always hidden from the sun. i have a couple of options that i want to do.
1.i really want to go a natural red, but will it turn odd colors, like purpley or brownish over the blue if i dont do anything to it?
2. i kinda want to go back to my natural color, which i havent seen in about three years. would i have to bleach out the blue then use the blonde dye? or would the blonde dye get out the blue? doesnt blonde dye have bleach in it?
3. i kinda want to do orange and purple for halloween. i know i would have to bleach it, but would it be better for the bleeding if i did it mostly orange with purple tips, which i think would be more dramatic, or mostly purple with orange tips, which would also look amazing?
any input at all would be great.


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

the front fringe thing
less faded underside
more faed top

    Here's what I would do.

    Bleach out the strong blue areas. Dye it orange with purple tips. After halloween get the pixie cut (getting rid of the purple tips). Apply natural red over the orange.

    If you want to go blonde you'll have to bleach out all the colour. If you try doing a natural blonde over your current colour you'll get swimming pool green.

    A dark purple would cover over what you have. You would need to completely elminate the blue and bleach till yellow before could apply any orange. Orange and blue are on oppisite sides of the color wheel. Any red with the blue will turn purple again with the color wheel. Suggest lightening to a yellow then apply the colors you would like.
