I feel I can declare the locked-in experiment a success! It's really weird using it though as the texture, consistency and overall goopiness is so different from all the other dyes I've used. The SFX colours are in a gradient going from bottom to top. The rest I sectioned in ...

Directions cerise on unbleached roots, and layers of Atomic Pink and Pimpin Purple layered on the ends. All of it was put over faded electric blue.

So here it is outside after one shampoo, the deep purple was extremely diluted but it's still a very strong color, it's bled over toning the hot hot pink so it's a very cool tone I love the brightness outside!
I guess I was trying to show how closely my magenta hair matched the flowers of my crepe myrtle. I'm so weird.

And here's the result! I did several test strands and determined that some heavily diluted Cherry Bomb (that's the magenta), Punky Plum, Ion Chartreuse (that's the yellowish green), and Atomic Turquoise covered very well. I'm absolutely in love with the color the Cherry Bomb turned into! And I didn't really ...

Trying out Candy Color's Lucky Green. (Would not recommend. Bad covarage, unfortunatly, but pretty collor) Also, I cut my own hair.
Rather than bore you with my very long-winded tale of how I got here, lol, I'll just say "see this post: https://www.haircrazy.com/forum/show-off-gallery/17136/". I will tell you that the Neon Blue was heavily, HEAVILY diluted. (Also, it feels kinda weird checking "white/silver" when this is such a DARK silver, lol)

A little more styled :> I'd like to point out that colours in real life are deeper, I can't capture the richness of the blue(s), I made mixes of blue, pink and purple, but I almost don't see them in the pictures :|
Tried the new "fragmented" haircolour trend... and I failed :D Will retry next time with smaller brushes, smaller sections and MUCH more time on my hands, even if this hair required like two hours only for the colour application :/ :D
Good day for a photo!
This color reminded so much of Lucille Ball, I decided to channel Lucy a bit. ;)
My first attempt at doing a rainbow! It took a long time to put all the different colours in but I'd say it was worth it - this is my favourite hair so far :)

It's pinker than what I thought but I really liking it!
Some colours just appeared from nowhere (like the red parts, grrr), but that's ok... No darker roots this time, just worked the same colour (or mix of colours) on random sections from root to end :>
I went from a pretty vibrant purple (diluted Pravana) to silver with a nice vitamin C treatment and the help of a few different products. While the Manic Panic Blue Steel is a great color, nothing gives me a great silver color like Pravana. I don't know why I try ...

Back to Directions Turquoise that I diluted with some conditioner so it faded faster.
Shorter side, a little faded (because of shampoos) :> I'm sick of reading comments on the web about colorful hair "which will be mud in two washes", and why many professionals too say this?? I don't discuss on the web (we all know it's pointless :D ), but when a ...
