neur-0tic asked: Hi, I'm planning on putting my blonde dip dye back in next week, so it'll be bleached because I have naturally dark hair, but after that I wanted pastel/baby pink dip dye to go over that. But all the pink dye I've found has been 3-6 washes and it seems like a bit of a waste for only a week of pink hair, I was wondering if you knew anywhere I could get it but maybe a little more permanent, thanks! :)

Hello! Sorry but pink doesnt come in permanent! All veg dyes say ‘3-6’ weeks, but usually on bleached hair they last much longer. However if you’re making the move to bright coloured hair you’ll have to change your routines too. Washing every day is harmful to your colour, and whats more its harmful to your hair! It strips the colour and the natural oils from the hair, so cut down to 3 washes a week at most.  Any heat will also fade your colour quickly. 

Pastel colours especially wash out quickly as they are a very diluted version of a strong pigment. 

Your best way to get and keep pastel pink hair is the following 

  • start with a white blonde base, anything else will show through and get you patchy, muddy colour. 
  • Buy a pot of bright pink dye like directions flamingo pink 
  • Buy some cheapy white conditioner 
  • This way you can mix up your own pastel pink much cheaper, usually a handful of conditioner to a teaspoon of pink dye makes a good pastel pink, but do it by eye! 
  • leave the colour/conditioner mix on your hair for about an hour, then wash out. 
  • From then on when you wash your hair, you could mix up a huge bottle of conditioer/dye mix and ‘condition’ your tips for ten minutes to keep up the colour
  • rinse with cold water, this shocks your cuticles closed and helps stop colour bleed. 

Hope this helps! Sorry there is no easy option, but at least this way you’re saving money and the upkeep is as easy as possible!

There you are honey! For a long blue, geisha wigs might be a better bet, Annabelle’s is more natural things, but they have some colour. Hope you find something :) 

Also hope you’re well ^_^ I was looking through https://www.facebook.com/cherry.lisa.sa the other day, you’re making some amazing things atm! <3
