Improvision; The Joys of

I lack a few pictures of this dye process, sadly, as I was on an artistic high halfway through it. But I will show you some of the joys of improving when you dye your hair. Whenever I do mine, I usually have no clue what I'm actually doing. I'm a work-as-you-go kind of girl. Sometimes it doesn't end very well, but other times I end up with something so beautiful. Friday night was one of those times.
I divided up my hair, planning on simply doing a little pink in the back, and then doing the rest in green. Sexy, I know. I need to go out an buy plastic clips so I can kick my little rubber band habit. I use the back of my tinting brush to divide.

Yep, the station I has set up in the last entry. And the completion of applying the pink dye to the back section of hair. I put it in a little rubber hair band (hahaha) to keep it out of the way while I did the rest. You can see that I didn't get it fully to the roots. When doing a full head of hair in multiple colors, you only need to touch the roots where they'll be showing. If your steadier with a tint brush than I am you can attempt it, but I prefer to stay away from that as usually end up getting the other section colored as well. Bad at-home dyer, bad.

As I continued, I washed off my gloves with shampoo (to not spread the color by accident. You can also just change gloves if you have multiple pairs) I took down one side of my hair, and removed any pins that were holding it in place. I divided it in half and began to dye the frontal area/fringe green while holding the back up in a rubber hair band. When I was finished with the front from tips to roots I tied it up with a rubber hair band and let down the middle section. Since this section is thicker than the front, you'll divide it in halve horizontally and pin up the top half. to keep it out of the way.

This is where my artistic high started. I notice at this point that my hair looked REALLY nice with the chunk of blond hair in the middle, and decided to divide the other side of my head with the same method, leaving the blond as is. At the time I had wished I hadn't dyed the lower middle section yet, but it turned out to give it a nice layered effect later on.

Tada.

Rinse and wash separately as needed to prevent color blending.

Happy Dying
