Manic Panic, Directions, etc on mostly virgin hair

I put few stripes (highlights) on my bangs yesterday with the Directions Rose red, and took a picture for you. This is taken with flash, which intensifies the colour. ...

Wow, that looks so pretty! That color isn't for me but it is beautiful. Did you bleach first?

Pictures Katze; pictures!

Weeelll, I am getting second thoughts. My hair is SO short now, probably shorter than it has been since 2001 or so. I am actually liking the color and the fact that I have a blunt hemline, and I don't want to look like all the plum - and red-haired older women running around here (I think this is specifically a German and Austrian phenomenon, have not seen it in the US). So still considering, but actually leaning towards no...

I'm actually trying out Raw's Deep Purple on my hair. I have two one inch sections underneath my hair so you can only see it if it's bunned. I put the dye in last night and left it on.....well, for longer than what it said on the bottle (15 minutes). It looks black. :/ But I'm sure it'll fade, though it'll be a while since I only wash my length once a week on average...

HI Katze! No bleach, just virgin, brown hair that has been "rose redded" for about 4 times during the past few months. The colour is not that intensive IRL, the flash makes it so bright. But when I did whole head colouring with this same stuff (no bleach/virgin brown hair + Directions Rose Red) and let it sit for an hour or so, it was almost as intensive as this picture for the first week (without the help of the camera flash). Now I used only tiny bit for the bangs and let it sit for 15-20 mins, it looks much more subtle IRL. I like the more suble colour more.

Not even a picture of the new length. Come on! You know how visual we all are.

I did Manic Panic purple streaks in my hair back in May. I loved it at the time, and it was really exciting. However, I did get a bit worried about 4 months later when it was still slightly pink in places. I think it has all washed out now though (6 months later). My hair is blonde/brown naturally.
