Who says long hair has to be old fashioned? :D
So, I finally dyed my hair. Only parts of it (I never dye the whole thing) and of course its temporary (can't get non-natural colours to be permanent), but I now have purple in my hair. I haven't dyed it in nearly a year, and before that, nearly another year. (Hmm, I seem to be on a once-a-year schedule..) I have pictures of the last couple times in my album somewhere.
But anyway, I just wanted to share.

Ponytail and hair down. The goal was kind of purple highlights. The sections came out a little odd, so that didn't quite work, but it's still noticeable and not unpleasant. (By the way, bottom of the second picture is classic - getting there!)

Trying to show the "highlight"ishness and one of the sections.

Close up of colour - a little blueish, since I only dyed it yesterday (and left it in for upwards of three hours - I got a lot of compliments on the intensity of it) but I expect it will become more purple after I wash it next.

Also, I have a question: is dye like this damaging? Obviously I don't really care, but I do wonder. The particular brand this time was Punky Color, if that makes a difference.

:D So, what do you think?

Nice streeks! I love Punky Color and have never found it damaging.... to my hair (My stained pillow cases and towels on the other hand...)

I'm not sure about punky colour as I've never heard of it before, but a lot of the direct dyes which are semis such as directions and crazy colour don't damage your hair as they're basically conditioners with stain in them. So it'll dye your pillow/shower/clothes/towels if you're not careful, but it shouldn't do any damage. :)

Pretty, pretty! :) I like it!

My hair color is too dark to really use any temporary dyes. I suppose I could use a plain red and have an interesting color for a while but I dunno. When I was younger, I would do magenta temporary streaks and it would look interesting, but my hair was also lighter then. :)

I bet it makes your updos really pretty-- care to do some and show us? :) A friend of mine used to have (still does have?) a big-arse green streak in her perpetually hip-length hair and it would make her updos very pretty.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! <3
I haven't tried any updos yet, but I just did a rope braid and you can barely see it. :mad: Well, I'll see how regular braids and other such things look, I guess.

Oh, I used to love coloring just chunks of my hair like this! How fun! And it looks beautiful on you. To answer your question, I've never found those like Punky Color and Manic Panic to be damaging in any way. They don't effect the protein in any way. They just coat your hair for awhile and bleed all over your towels and shirts. I had to make sure my hair was dry before putting on any light colored shirts. Too bad they won't stay in long because your hair is too healthy!

I love your curls!!! O_O They're to die for! I had a best friend who's hair was exactly like that. :)
The colour and your hair colour go together really good, I love the contrasting colours AND I love the purple you chose.

8) Wow! I love the way the color looks in your curls! It looks amazing! And, now you've inspired me to experiment with my comb-in color.
