Stubborn indigo.. had to cut it out. :(

[MagicalMystery]

Hey gang,

Last year, I used henna/indigo in my hair and I regret it. I then wanted it gone, and had the most impossible time trying to remove it. Just when I thought it was gone, my red dye turned all the old indigo to a dark blackberry color... Dreadful!! Nothing will penetrate the hair, so what did I do? I trimmed it off. I didn't want to, since I'd made so much progress, but I figured one last cut before my growth journey would be a good thing, since most of my hair will now be indigo-free and extremely healthy. And so, I'll be double dosing my multivitamins and using Monistat to try and get more rapid growth to compensate for it.

I'm a little bummed, but it was necessary. The bomb proof hair was annoying me. Anyone else have trouble with temporary dyes penetrating old indigo? On a good note, cutting out all the darkened indigo hair revealed my bright red!

Thankfully the cut's cute... but I'm still bummed. See the ends on the side? Luckily the indigo got out in the entire back of my head. It was the sides that were the huge problem.


Almost looks intentional... but I still don't like the purpleish color at all.


I need it gone. At least I only will have to torture the sides of my hair now to get rid of it. Any recommendations?
