Purple hair

I just can’t tell you how much I loved this in my hair. 

I got this idea from some where off pintrest, I saved it on my phone so I have no idea who I got it off of, so if this belongs to you- let me know so I can attach the link. 

I have always had blonde hair and no matter what color I change it to the blonde always wins so when I saw the above picture I got really happy. I can have my blonde and a color, but not just any old color, a bold color. A deep purple called Lie Locks I didn’t have to talk myself into the color or even doing this to my hair.

I went to Sallies Beauty Supply and bought me a bottle of manic panic, a hair dye brush and a hair dye bowl. Because this was summer vacation (2012) and we are now in winter I can’t remember how much all that was but I want to say it was around $30.00.  I had a good guy friend of mine use the Manic Panic before so I knew it was a cool and safe product to use on my hair and my head.  I didn’t bleach my tips or any thing I just applied  the color to the tips and flipped my head upside down and did the back of my hair too, so when I put my hair in a bun the bun is purple too.  It did not have a smell and it had a nice consistency of a thick hand cream.

My mom found an old yellow towel to place on over my shoulders and gloves to apply the Lie Locks to my hair. I felt bad for her towel, but it turned out that after a few washes the color came right out and you could not even tell that she put big glops of dye on the yellow towel.

I let is sit and soak into my hair for about an hour, I  sat in the nice Colorado sun and read a lot pages of in a book in hopes that the heat from the sun would make it darker. It took about an hour and a half to rinse my hair.

I don’t have curly hair, so I put my hair up half way in some rollers and let it dry. I know it looks kind of messy, but this day I felt super confident to walk around with sexy messy hair.

This lasted about three weeks, and the end result my hair had this cool gray color and I rocked that too. Once it was completely washed out of my hair it was its same old color blonde, I had no trace of the dark, sexy color that once was and I would totally use this product again and again.
