I dyed my hair Atlantic Blue on July 29th, a Friday. And this is what it looked like two days later, on Sunday. This photo is after no washings, just the initial rinsing and conditioning.
I knew it couldn't last. I knew it was bound to fade sooner or later. And, really, I was kind of hoping for sooner because the blue hair has been SUCH a pain. (More on that later.) But I did not expect it to fade how it has faded.
One and a half weeks and about 4 washes later, my hair is practically green. GREEN!
So, I'm trying to decide whether I should:
- keep doing what I'm doing (washing it with color safe shampoo every few days) and let it continue to fade at this rate.
- use cheap shampoo, daily, to help get the color out faster.
- dye it brown.
I think I'm going to dye it again, but, as I'm going to a cousin's wedding in a few weeks, I thought I'd don some normal hair for that occasion.
I'm not sure quite what to do and I'm not sure about this hair!
HA! (Sorry, should I not be laughing?) I say, throw yourself on your bed and cry into your pillow Anne-style for a good long time, then keep with the color-safe shampoo and see what it does. At least it gives you a great story to tell (and I do love a good story). For the wedding, buy an awesome wig!
ReplyDeleteUsually blue dyes go green really fast, the red ones last ages and pink ones are not bad. I have the la riche directions turquoise and it´s lasting quite a lot actually.surprisingly! and to make it darker less radioactive im going to mix it with atlantic blue i was looking for pics and that´s how i got into your blog. anyways i guess your hair would have changed by now hahaha
