So I’m about 18 months or so into growing my bleached hair out.
Trying to go green again has been really disappointing- I think as we bleached down to quite a white tone, there’s no yellow left in my hair so it’s going blue very quickly after only a wash or two.
I saw Directions came out with a lovely new range of colours (including some slate and Smokey grey tones that would have been handy back when I was going for silver/lilac tones). There was “ultra violet” (dark blue purple) and “deep purple” which I bought as I was getting fed up of the blue washed out alpine green and turquoise was leaving. But then I had a dilemma as I had loved teal colours when they had worked and still had 4-5 pots left. Then I wondered what about having both colours?? As highlights? On different sides? As layers?
So my lovely husband dyed the bottom underneath layer alpine green and the rest deep purple. It looks amazing in real life! Why had I waited until my hair was mostly root regrow the to try this!? I love the Galaxy peacock effect. Very tempted to start bleaching the roots again and keep crazy colour but 1) I can’t find my good shampoo any more (please let me know if you know any affordable shampoo that is kind to semi permanent colour but can deal with long thick greasy hair with dry scalp) and 2) I’m 18 months in to growing it out and almost there, it seems a waste of time to not see that through???
