July 20, 2011 at 10:08 amI absolutely LOVE this…. and if something went wrong, all you have to do is cut it off…
Although, from experience, coloring blonde hair is not as great as you would expect… the color fades way faster than you would think b/c when you bleach darker hair, it kind of damages it, so the color really soaks into the hair, with blonde hair, it isnt damaged, so it doesnt soak in as well…
Im such a nerd, sorry

July 20, 2011 at 3:04 pmI’ve done a single color dip-dye with Kool-Aid when I was in high school. I’m a blond and a swimmer and you’d be surprised at how long Kool-Aid stays in hair, even without bleaching. My friend is a very dark brunette and she did pink and burgundy tips this summer, knowing that when school starts in the fall (we’re teachers) she could just trim off the ends. If I had more time left this summer I’d totally go all out with some color in my hair. This is inspiring me and I think that next June I’ll have some great color in my hair.

…..accept its the complete opposite.
Dark hair levels 6-1 if you bleach you hair it will damage your ends now the color will stick to your hair no mater what because of the bleach you dont even have to bleach it that light it could be copery orange as long as you got your blues and your pinks. use 20v to lighten enough with as little damage as possible
blonde hair levers 7-11..if you are naturaly blonde bleaching the tips of your hair is still a must if you want this to stay at all. you could use 10v because you are already light the only reason for the bleach is to blow open the hair folicle and make it porus[damaged] enough to hold the color.
now as for making the color stay, it has nothing to do with the color of your hair it has every thing to do with maintanance, cold water ONLY, no shampoo on your ends.condotioner does have some detergents in them as well so honestly when i was purple i scrubbed my hair with nothing but conditoioner in cold water and it came out clean and fulffy and vibrant every time :]
thats just my porfesional oppenion,…. i might be a color specialist too lolol:DD

July 27, 2011 at 9:30 pmTOOLS: highlighting comb, clips, foils, color brush, hair bleach with the appropriate volume (always seek a professional when using bleach), light pink color, dark pink color, light blue, dark blue, clear gloss.
Step 1 Highlight the tips of the hair using hair bleach with the correct volume. I lightened the bottom 3 inches of Lauren’s hair, taking it as light as possible without causing any damage. As you can see above, I like to “feather” on the bleach. Painting a jagged line makes it blend better.
Step 2 Fold up your foil and let it process until it reaches a pale blonde. Use the appropriate heat if necessary.
Step 3 Shampoo and lightly condition bleach out of the hair.
Step 4 Blow hair completely dry. If it’s still wet, it will soak up less color.
Step 5 Place the hair on a foil. Imagine the bleached out part being split into 3. You’re going to leave the top 1/3 blonde.
Step 6 Next, paint the light blue (or whatever color you choose) on the entire bottom 2/3.
Step 7 Paint the very tips (or bottom 1/3) using the darker version of that color. It should look almost feather like. Be sure to blend. Last, rinse out the color. I highly suggest washing them out one piece at a time and towel drying well so the colors don’t bleed into each other. If they do, you may see a “marbleizing” effect. I love when the colors all swirl together like that, but if you’re looking to keep them more defined, keep them away from each other when they’re wet. I like to finish up by sealing it with a clear gloss. That’s a professional use only product so if you don’t have access to it, you don’t have to do that. Blow dry and…Tah Daaah!!

August 2, 2011 at 6:16 pmIt’s beautiful….until you have to wash it out. Then it fades and smears your shower with residue. Then you wash it one, maybe two, days later. And it fades again. Then you have faded light grey and light pink color on the tips of your hair.
Maintaining this look requires either:
1) Not washing your hair often; or
2) Protecting JUST the tips of your hair when you wash it; or
3)Re-applying the semi-permanent (yes, this ultra-bright color is NOT permanent) hair color every 2-3 weeks to maintain that bright color.
I REALLY do wish someone would have told me this about semi-permanent hair color (a.k.a. Punky Color, Hot Topic Hair Color, etc.) before I tried this with my hair.
