boring haircolour post

[arethinn]

That's what not dyeing my hair for three and a half months does to the colour. What started out deep, vivid blue-violet is now a kind of weak magenta or deep rose, with some steely gray bits where it had been more bluish to begin with. Plus I have 2-3 inch roots. (Yes, I am growing out the dye, for the first time in almost five years, if you were wondering.)

Must admit, although I'm a fan of the color purple, hadn't thought I'd enjoy it as a hair color - looks cool, though!

This isn't purple at all, compared to what it is when freshly dyed. I use Special Effects "Deep Purple" mixed with "Blue Velvet". It comes out purple, and I mean purple, when seen in the sunlight. Indoors, it tends to look black with purple highlights because the dye is so dark, especially since I don't bleach first.
