Tales from the Pandemic 16

This is the level of bored we've gotten!  When you have lots of time on your hands, your mind starts to wander on things you can do while being stuck at home.  Samantha asked if she could dye her hair purple.  Sure, why not?  I'm always up for doing something fun with your hair - especially when it will grow out.  Nothing is forever.

The first time we tried, the color didn't make any noticeable difference.  We had to bleach her hair for the color to show up.  There is no turning back when you bleach the natural color out.  This is the point of no return.  Samantha was up for it and so was I.

Before: (Oh my gosh, could her hair be any longer?!?!  I am so ready for her to cut about 20 inches off.)

During!  Going Blonde. 

Samantha did say she had more fun for the 10 minutes it was like this.  :)

After:  It is PURPLE!!!

Samantha loves it and so do we!  I can't believe how well it turned out and that I was able to pull this off.  It so easily could've gone all wrong and Sam's hair could've fallen out.   Whew!  It looks so pretty.

Products used:  

Manic Panic Developer 30 for the bleach - left on approx. 30 minutes (2 boxes)

Arctic Fox, Purple Rain for the hair color - left on approx. 1 hour. (2 bottles)

There was plenty of color left over, but we probably could've even used a 3rd container of the bleach for this amount of hair.
