A Budgie she/her Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 @Darkness Ascendant one of my friends occassionally gets the worse haircut ever...a bowl cut...we always laugh at him whenever he gets it... So that's how I'm imagining your hair now.
AeonaRin she/her Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 I dye my hair with henna and the colour is kinda unpredictable, and this time I got my hair so flaming ginger I am ridiculously proud of myself Spoiler Sorry for the instagramness of the photo XD I know I made a silly face, the colour is worth showing off though! 5

Speaking of sticks, when I still had my I am a Stick T-shirt (I outgrew it ) A bunch of the older ladies from church would say things like "You are a stick, aren't you, dear." "(jokingly) No need to rub it in" and "That is so inspirational! I am a stick. I can become a stick, if I try hard enough." I didn't have the heart to tell them. 1

Huh. I use henna regularly, and my results are pretty consistent. I mean, it helps that my hair is already pretty red to begin with, but high-quality henna should give you similar results every time. Where are you getting your product from?

This is indeed my natural state, both in body shape and attire. I'm just really lean. 5'10" and 118 lbs. (Or for you metric users, 180 cm, 53 kg)

That's because I'm doing mixology. I don't use pure henna, but henna/cassia mix - the effect is less red, more copper-gold - I don't use water to mix the powder, I use chamomile tea (last time I mixed it with rhubarb root extract) and honey - it makes the colour lighter - I use weaker acids than lemon zest - It's making the colour too dark - I use diluted juice or apple juice, acerola works great. I also add non-dying stuff - a bit of no-silicone little-oils conditioner, lax seed gel, aloe gel - to avoid over-drying my hair in the process. So every time my mix is a bit different. Also my hair structure is weird, because part of my hair have been bleached before, so my natural hair - to shoulders - dyes more or less the same every time, below that, I just never know what happens this time my hair is almost metallic in colour. Oh, I add tumeric too! Makes colour more yellow. Btw, my natural hair is also kind of reddish. Ginger blond. Edited April 19, 2017 by strumienpola

Btw, my natural hair is also kind of reddish. Ginger blond. Ahh, gotcha. That makes sense; I've never used cassia, and I prefer a red that leans more towards the auburn side than the blonde side. (Which is why I henna in the first place; my natural heavily strawberry blonde just isn't red enough for me.)
Delightful Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Can I jump back on the hair dye bandwagon? I found someone who can do my hair the way I want it, for approx the equivalent of about 100USD, but the dye will only last 2-3 weeks. Im not paying that amount of money for a couple weeks! For reference, what I want is basically Help? Advice? Anything please? Edited April 19, 2017 by Delightfully Smoak Why does post-spoiler text get stuck in the spoiler?? 1

Purple is much harder, it can only be done with semi-permanent stuff, like toners and foams and such. I don't have that pic on my phone anymore, so here's from instagram Spoiler My purple was lighter than what you want, so my guess is your way doesn't use bleaching. And so I discourage it, because after two hair washes there will be barely any colour visible. Not that I encourage bleaching, it's awful XD So my advice is to give up on purple and do only navy blue with a permanent dye.
Delightful Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 How permanent is permanent? I'm looking at like......4 months +?

AeonaRin she/her Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Permanent = with developer, not just a cream colour. But even permanent dyes of unnatutal colour fade :c blue lasts more or less as long as red (not copper), so after a month or so it won't be vibrant anymore, the colour will wash out a little. But trust me, it's still better than toner, toner only lasts 2-3 weeks in theory, in reality, it lasts 2-3 hair washes, that was always one week for me. After two weeks my hair looked pretty much like that: Spoiler So yeah, toners are a let down. Btw I just saw that Schwarzkopf live has purple, but its more burgundy than violet. Maybe some other brands have something better, you need to ask in a hair salon. Edited April 19, 2017 by strumienpola

I think I'm gonna switch to blue dye. Did your blue and purple all wash out together?
Darkness Ascendant he/him Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 @Delightfully Smoak I was very thrown off by your felicity persona >> I was like "Who's this?" I've spoken about bleaching my hair white one day. One day.

Blue stayed longer and it was staying blue - only lighter shades of blue. But that was with toner, I'm not sure how would that be with a proper dye.
