♪♫ In The Evening - Led Zeppelin
Yesterday was both a very exciting day and a very frustrating day. I went to BJ's house to re-dye my hair blue. It was a very long process. Mainly because I decided to re-bleach all of my hair, instead of just the roots (because it didn't turn out very well the first time). BJ's mom bleached the ends of my hair, then BJ and I bleached my roots. I kept it in for an hour and a half (way longer than I should have), and it barely made a difference. I was so mad. I'm never buying that bleach again. Ugh.
I put anti-brass conditioner in my hair for five minutes, then washed it out. And I put conditioner in for half an hour, then washed it out. I had to blow dry my hair after that...and it took so long. BJ was making it clear that he was bored and wasn't having a good time. I felt kinda bad. But I eventually finished, then it was time to put the blue dye in my hair! We both soaked my entire head in Manic Panic's Rockabilly Blue (last month I used Bad Boy Blue). BJ got to do his favorite part after that; cover my head with Saran Wrap. xD
My 'before' and 'after' pictures.
I think we left the dye in for over an hour (most people leave Manic Panic in for a couple hours - its not very damaging), then we washed it out. And I put some conditioner in my hair to keep it feeling smooth and looking healthy (because of the two sessions of bleaching). My hair was still wet, but the color was already so vibrant. I was beyond excited to see it dry (I let it air dry - otherwise I look like a mop). When I got home; I styled my hair, put makeup on, picked out a few of my favorite shirts, and took some amazing pictures of myself (the first one is my favorite). I think they are some of the best pictures ever taken of me. I just feel sorry for the people who follow me on Instagram and got spammed with them. :P
For some odd reason, two of the pictures turned out super bright. They don't look like that on Instagram...very weird. Oh well. You get the point; my hair is very blue. I love it way more than the last shade of blue that I had. :3
This morning I got a couple cute pictures of myself. My hair was messy, I wasn't wearing makeup, and I was wearing one of my favorite shirts (that I also wore to bed). And since then, I've pretty much done nothing. My "lady issues" started, so I'm cranky, in pain and have no energy. I had a nice relaxing bath, took Tylenol, and ate a big supper + chocolate. I'm planning on watching the new episode of Supernatural and the new episode of American Horror Story: Coven. Maybe some movies after that. And I may make some ham + cheese stuffed chicken. Not too sure yet. I don't feel like moving right now. :P
P.S. The only downside to having this beautiful hair color, is that it keeps staining everything; my pillow, my hands, my skin, etc. I've rinsed out my hair out a few times, but it won't stop. I'm hoping it'll go away tomorrow after I have my morning shower. Its really annoying. :/

Man, your hair looks freaking fabulous, I must say ;D I love that shade of blue... wish I could find a shade like that to suit me! :D
ReplyDeleteYour hair color is going to stain things for a few days, at least. It's all apart of having a brand new hair color. It happened with my pillows and such when I went to bed a few nights afterwards, especially if I went to bed with semi-wet hair.I would suggest putting a towel down on your pillows or something.
oh my gosh. I dig that hair. You are totally pulling it off!!! I am actually of going red head next year. I but hair dyes at funkystreaks. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that's a gorgeous shade of blue! You look amazing! Now I want to colour my hair too, haha. :D How long does a colour like that last?
