Hair Dying Extraveganza

[salienne]

Just a quick note: whenever dying your hair fun colors, make sure to have a) Bleach, and b) rubbing alcohol/nail polish remover on hand. a) does wonders for cleaning up the shower, b) does wonders for making you look more like a human and less like an Oompa Loompa (at least when the dye is pink and purple).

A 2nd quick note: the new "Punky" hair dye gives strong, vibrant color. Subtle it is not. Not for your hair, your skin, your bathtub...

I'm thinking I might stick with Manic Panic for the whole head effect (especially when I want colors slightly more toned down, or at least ones that don't stick everywhere) and use Punky for streaks and whatnot. Less hours spent scrubbing that way. @_@

And as a side note, I am in MA right now, and loving it. Now let's see if this hair dying job lasts the 1.5 weeks until school starts back up again...

Good tips to have, esp. since it will be the first time I'm doing a funky color! :) I had bleach blonde highlights at high school graduation but that was done at a salon. Never again, it's SO EXPENSIVE and they did a crappy job :P I'm so glad they've since grown out and been cut off. You should see how long my hair is now. Wait til tmw... Can't wait to see yours!! So it's bleached and purple and pink? Last time it was black and had some bleach blonde in it with I think maybe some green? Or red? *shrugs* I forget.
