Patchwork Hair
Mon 18 February 2008
Once upon a time, I got tired of the remains of my blue hair, and decided to do something different. After a lengthy conversation in which I had to convince my partner in crime (Wendy, aka my mother) that it was, in fact, possible, my hair turned out as follows.
A note: I definitely don't recommend this to anyone with longer hair than.. say.. four inches.
We bleached my hair the day before we dyed it.
Step one = get 50-60 hair-ties, rubber bands, etc.
We put my hair up in ridiculous ponytails all over my head, see above. This is what prompted me to declare that I looked like a Who on acid- think Dr Seuss.
This took us about 45min-an hour. Then again, I have very thick hair, so you might not take as long.
Now, proceed to the first color of dye, in this case Manic Panic Hot Hot Pink.
We let this sit on for about an hour, rinsed it out, and waited until the next day to do the second color- Splat (tm) Blue Envy

So now it's Saturday, and my hair is pink and blue. We had to cut out most of the rubber bands, and it left a very cool tye-dye effect where the dye couldn't get under the bands. I have a few rings of blonde hair left where those were, otherwise, my hair is all blue, pink, or black, which would be the bits that refused to bleach properly.
The next picture is my hair, dyed, rinsed, dyed, still in ponytails. (It looked very cool)
The last one is my hair a day later, out of the bands and laying the way it usually does.
This wasn't too hard, and I would love to see anyone else's success with it!
I can't wait to try this with more colors and whatnot- I think it'd look good with a few different shades of green, or purple maybe...
But that's another day.
