Growing :D

First wash of the Turquoise looked like it bled a lot in comparison to rinsing the dye out. When I first rinsed my hair, almost nothing came out and the water was pretty clear from the start, so you can understand why I freaked out a little when I washed it and saw super turquoise foam. I was terrified that it had all came out at once for some reason, even though I know that just wouldn't happen.

It's a bit paler now, that's for sure, but still very bright, and very pretty.

I've also noticed that the length and cut of my hair right now is very similar to the first time I did a crazy color, in 2007 I think. I've been letting it grow for a while now, trimming it to keep it looking presentable, and it's finally getting somewhere. The shortest part of the back is probably 3 inches now. :)

So close. IN a month or two I'll have the same length again. (I used that bad-lighting picture specifically because it showed the back in the mirror.) Don't worry, my hair already looks a lot healthier than in the picture, which was only a day or so after dying. I took it easy on the straightening, didn't wash for about 3-4 days and haven't blow-dried it since bleaching.

Atomic Turquoise

Atomic Turquoise by Manic Panic. It looks really pretty, but pro-tip: when dying your hair blue, especially lighter blues, bleach it until the yellows are completely gone. otherwise, it'll end up kinda green everywhere that it's yellow toned, even light yellow. Thankfully mine is only greenish at the roots, because the rest was made blonde by a professional.

XoXo,
