Hi all,
So. I had my hair bleached from virgin hair and put red semi-permanent on it. I reapplied Directions/Stargazer periodically over 6 weeks.
By this point my hair had considerable dark roots!
I asked my sister (who had previously dyed my hair and done a good job) to bleach the roots with a 6% (20vol) peroxide & bleach powder combination.
She missed half my roots as she couldn't be bothered but at the time I didn't realise and put on Crazy Colour in Fire.
My hair is now neon pink at the temples where the bleach has lifted well. The rest is a mix of neon roots and kinda pants red lengths and ends. The dye doesn't like my hair at all and won't stay in!
Anyway. I want a deeper, less mad looking red.
I have bought Directions in Vermillion but I don't know whether or not to do the remaining roots that were missed or to leave them and hope the Vermillion is dark enough to provide coverage? The missed roots are at the back of my head, my parting and sides at the front are okay.
I don't want to damage my hair and I have a coconut oil in it as I type. It doesn't feel damaged or dry at the ends or anywhere else, I just don't want to end up like that as I am growing out from a pixie.
Other dilemma is whether or not to wait a few days and wash wash wash the Crazy Colour out as it is coming out so fast.
Any advice? Thanks in advance!
