Purple Hair Don’t Care

The Purple Hair Dream, how to achieve it? Well, you can go to the salon multiple times and sit for hours and be assured of great results depending on the amazingness of your hair gal or guy. Now I had no patience what so I ever, I wanted my purple hair and I wanted ASAP. I also did not have it in my creative budget to spend 500 dollars over the next few weeks to achieve this. Being the low, and I mean low maintenance type, you know the gal that does not get her nails done, things waxed, eyebrows threaded type. It was only a natural thing for me to impulsively tempt this purple hair undertaking.  Since I have an aversion to sitting still, it worked out perfect.  So how does one do it yourself for the purple hair dream? 

Well, it took 3 days of staying indoors and a whole lot of bleach, as well as some great gals from Sally beauty to help. The first step was to of course, bleach the dark brown box hair dye from my hair. Which was not an easy thing to do, it is very similar I imagine to trying to get tar and feathers removed from one's body. Brassy hair is hard to pull off and let's just say it was not doing me any favors. This process involved a lot of trips to Sally's and a lot of beanies to hide my hair.

Things to expect while embarking on this endeavor, brassy hair. It takes a lot of bleaching to get your hair to the level of blonde needed for the purple hair dye to take to your hair. Yes, there is color corrector little packets you can add to counteract the brass but, to be honest bleaching and bleaching again is the only thing that will really work. I did this in 3 days and around 80 dollars but I made a few mistakes so you would come closer to around 60. I tried adding the purple color to my hair before it was ready so I had to go buy another tube. Here are some tips first off 
First: tip buy a lot of bleach all at once and a lot of argon conditioner, it saves the humiliating trips to the store while undergoing the process.

1. Hair dye tint brush

6. Absolute Perfect Booster by Ion it is like Omniplex, but way cheaper and accessible, it saves her hair from bleach damage.  Add to your lighter or hair color.
