I am doing a fundraising bike ride, and I told my potential donors I would dye my hair a crazy color (or shave my legs, but hair dye won) if I raised enough money. I actually might have to follow through because I am close to the goal.
I remember a nutty college roommate dying her hair crazy colors and just trashing our rental apartment or dorm bathrooms. How do I dye my hair without turning the bathroom pink? Also, do I literally dunk my hair in bleach to lighten it first, or how do you "bleach" hair?
I know it's not really a home improvement question, but y'all seem to know about everything.
And yes, I will update my profile picture with pink hair if I have to go through with all this.
2 sprays --1) Streaks and Tips:Neon Pink $5.49 -- 2) Color Bond: Air Head Pink $6.29 Sprays are good until hair is shampooed.
Or---- Temporary color(good for 4-6 wks.) You do need to pre-lighten.
Beyond the Zone: Bleach Kit-includes everything you need (bleach, peroxide, ...»
Beyond the Zone: Color Jam 2-Party Time Pink $6.29 (this is appled directly to your hair after lightening- no mixing required)
You would also need a garbage bag with a hole cut out for you head to go thru or you can buy a cape $10 and gloves which they sell at the counter by the pair for 49 cents. Get at least 2 pair.
If I was doing your hair I would buy the spray as well as the products for temp. color. (Just to see how well the spray works.) Then decide if you want streaks or to do your entire head. Maybe just the top? Might as well go funky.lol When you decide then you will know whether or not you need the frosting cap. When bleaching, you want your hair to be as close to yellow (not orange) as possible. If you have any itching or burning rinse in cool water as soon as possible and shampoo lightly..don't try to tough it out. Chemical burns get worse before they get better!
You are on your own now..I hope this helps and if you have any questions at all feel free to call me-you can e-mail me for my # @ ....vineyardflute@yahoo.com.
Good Luck and I can't wait to see pictures!!!
The link I posted should go to the donation page in my name, but it's not really obvious. There is some small text at the top that reads: "With this donation, you are Joining the Movement toward a world free of MS! Your donation to the 2012 Colorado Bike MS on behalf of Steve Graham is greatly appreciated." ...»
Thanks so much for the tips. I think I will go get the Beyond the Zone stuff at Sally, and just go for it.
ps-didn't come thru the e-mail...thanks for posting here
And has it grown out yet? Or are you semi pink, purple and brown haired?
