(no subject)

So I bought bleach and black hair dye, and my plan is this:

  1. Bleach my bangs (which are now once again rather short, back to just over my eyebrows), because there's still pink from the last time I dyed them pruple on them, and my roots are showing horribly and the purple won't take on tmy natural hair colour.
  2. Dye everything black.
  3. Use the streaking cap to re-cleach and then dye purple some streaks.
Does that sound workable to people who have experience with this sort of thing?

They don't have SE over here, I don't think. I use Shwarkopf Special Effects decoloriser for the bleaching, since that's "my brand", and I know it works, and it comes in one of these handy-dandy bottles as opposed to the bleach one buys in punk stores, which you have to mix in a bowl or whatever.

The thing about dye-then-bleach is, I don't know how long it'll take for the black to wash out, and how crappy it'll look, and maybe I'll have to dye the purple over everything oce it starts looking crappy, and then I do have to have my roots bleached. Plus, it'll ensure a more equal shade, overall.

Then again, it is black, and it won't wash out as fast on my natual colour as it would on white.

Hm. Must consider.
