Before:

Some brownish-red color

Step 1:

I'm sort-of blond!


REALLY blond. I didn't think that bleaching kit would work so well.

Step 2:

Uh oh. That turned out a little brighter than I was expecting. Also, I missed a few spots. =/


REALLY bright. Crap. I can't wear it like this to work. Maybe it won't be so bright after the next step.

Step 3:

Okay, whew. It's not quite as noticeable now that I added the black. And it's faded some.


Finished! I like it! I think I'll be okay at work. I'm only there 4 days next week and I can pull my hair back so only the black really shows. I just need to go over a couple spots during the week and I should be all good for next weekend!

Sweet!

It looks great...was it one of the kits you buy at like Target? or did you get it at a salon?

The really bright reddish/pinkish color scared me a bit, but I looooove the finished product...you'll definitely turn some heads! (even more so)

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Nope, not at a salon. Walgreens, in fact.

OMG that looks awesome!! The curls make it.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Well, I couldn't get rid of the curls even if I tried. =) But thanks!

Oh it's cute! How'd you do the black after? I wonder if that's why my hair looked so fuckered when I tried that. What color/kit(s) did you use?

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I just did the black very carefully. I pinned all the red/pink up first and just made sure I didn't get the black everywhere.

I used something called Splat, which I got at Walgreens of all places. Came with the color & bleach together. And the black was just Nice & Easy, I think.

Quite awesome-looking. XD

Oh one more thing...

Not happening.

[sammipunk.livejournal.com]

Whoo hoo!! Looks awesome!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon!

Good job! I'd been too scared to do that on my own. I'd be in fear that I'd really fuck things up. Ha! How long did the whole process take?

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks! The good thing is that I wanted it to look messy, so it didn't matter if it turned out messy. It took about 5 hours all together, I think.

[lafemmezilla.livejournal.com]

OH my goodness, I love it! I need to do that someday SOON.

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks! NO COPYING!

I want mine to be BLUE!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

I cannot tell you how long I stood staring at the hair color and talking myself out of choosing the red instead of the blue. But, a) I can kind of get away with bright red at work since it's sort of a real hair color, where blue is not and b) Blue is a bitch and a half to keep looking nice, since it fades to green on blond hair.

[lafemmezilla.livejournal.com]

yeah. honestly i'm a bit worried since i have so much red in my hair, i'll bleach it and it'll go pink which will in turn go purple when i add blue, so i should just say screw it all and go purple. but i REALLY REALLY REALLY want blue.

[vanillachick78.livejournal.com]

Two thumbs up babe!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks! =)

[pimpstresslana.livejournal.com]

OMG! I LOVE IT!!! It looks friggin' awesome! You did such a good job with it, ESPECIALLY for doing it at home and not a salon. It looks just as good as what a pro could have done. The black and the red/pink is a GREAT color on you! :)

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetie! I'm pretty happy with how it looks. And fairly amazed that I didn't mess it all up. =)
