Pink hair

I've dyed my hair PINK!!! :D

I'm so happy with it.

I love it.

I was originally a brunette then I dyed my hair red for about a year and now it's pink with purple dip dye.

I love the colour. it's quite bright, but I still love it.

It took ages to dye it from red to pink.

first I had to buy the dye, colour stripper, prelightener, mixing bowl, the brush thing, conditioner and gloves.

first I had to strip the red out of my hair. I had to leave it on for an hour then wash it off for 10 minutes then dry.

second I used the prelightener to lighten my natural hair colour (well as close to my natural colour as possible) then rinse it off and dry.

thirdly the dye. I used 'Directions' hair dye. I used flamingo pink. take a spoonful out of the pot and put it in the mixing bowl then add conditioner. then mix it and apply to the hair making sure you use gloves.

as this dye is conditioner based you can leave it on as long as you want as long as it's longer than 15 minutes.

then rinse and dry. then boom pink hair :)

the only downside to it is that it's only semi-permanent. which means after every wash a bit will come off but you can top it up when you condition your hair.

The only thing i don't like is that when you have bright hair people will stare.

I'm really self conscious and i feel so awkward when people keep staring at me.

But people stare and some give you compliments.

little girls telling their parents they want hair like you. I find it really cute.

if you want to dye your hair a bright colour use Directions. Don't bleach your hair use colour strippers and things like that. Try and avoid bleach as it'll damage your hair.

the good thing about Directions is that you can make dark colours and also lighter colours out of the same colour pot. you can dilute it with conditioner.

I'll try and get a photo up of my hair before, during and after. I'm not sure if I can do it on my phone but I'll try and get it up :)

dying hair is time consuming so it takes your mind off everything and you just focus on your hair.

i watch a girl called Lauraacanfly on YouTube and she can take you through the steps. she has another account dedicated to Mental illnesses, selfharm and things like that.

She's helped me so much through the tough times.

Go check her out.
