My Hair: A Never Ending Battle

As anyone who actually reads this, I have had plenty of blogs about my hair.
Since I started dying my hair, I always try something new.
So in my last attempt at a pretty color
I tried a color called "Raspberry Kamikazi" from Color Jamz.
Like I feared it came out REALLY purple. 
Like....really purple.

The next morning.

It was a wonderful color I'll admit.  It defiantly suits me better.  I didnt
bleach before doing it and just colored right over the pink.
The only down side...this color stained EVERYTHING, including my neck.
This could also be because I didnt fully wash it out.
I colored it just before going to see family for Hannukah.
Its been two weeks going on three and here 
is the current result!!!


This is about what it looks like after coloring pink for the first time. 
Typically by now its a gross orange color so I am happy it hasn't turned gross.
My roots need to be bleached but hopefully I can make it last a little longer, and I will just bleach all of it.

Some side notes (For Lexi <3):
  • I always deep condition for a week before bleaching.
  • I always bleach and color on dirty hair (except for when coloring right after bleaching of course.)
  • After bleach, I deep condition for over an hour.
  • I leave my color in for normally 2 hours if not longer
  • I use Ion's leave in conditioner every other day
  • I wash my hair every 3-4 days 
  • I wash my hair with cold water and color safe shampoo
  • I talk to the ladies at Sally's but almost ALWAYS get a second opinion.
  • I have yet to try Manic Panic because its more expensive, that and I prefer the bottle from Color Jamz.  It helps that it smells pretty. 
  • Your hair is over processed when it feels stretchy.  This isn't something I know how to explain, you'll just know.  Your hair will be tangle a lot and will feel...stretchy
  • Never go to bed with your hair wet. The color will bleed.
  • Never wear your hair down and wet.  The color will bleed.
  • Rubbing alcohol will take the color off your skin, and most any surface you get it on.
