I needed a change. Not a huge one, but something decidedly different. For months my hair has been growing out from the last dye job. It was flat and boring. Last night after work, Kaye dyed it for me. We started by bleaching big chunks.
Then we added Manic Panic hair color: 1 jar of Vampire Red, 1 jar of Purple Haze, and about a third of a jar of Ultra Violet. It was a bit of a hodge podge mixture, as I had planned to mix 2 jars of Purple Haze with 1 of Vampire Red, but picked up the wrong jar at the store. C'est la vie. Kaye dabbed it all on with a brush, worked it in with her fingers, then wrapped my head up in plastic. It sat for 40 minutes or so and took forever to rinse out. It took so long that I had a cramp in my neck from bending into the sink. The result is a very bright burgundy, brighter on top where we lightened the hair beforehand. It's a bit different than the plummy purple I had intended, but I rather like it.
Hey there Ellie's Mama,
You look stunning! But then you always do . . . but you look exceptionally stunning. Love the longer hair.
Charlie sends Ellie a big hug.
And so do I-
Cat
