I bleached for an hour and still couldn't get all the color out of the ends. But, I didn't want to fry it out, either, so I just went with the lightest I could get it. Then I rinsed and dried it and applied the purple with a small paintbrush. Rolled it all up with a foil ball and threw a shower cap on my head for another half hour.
Washed, dried and voila!
This should last about 4 weeks or so. We'll see. I guess when it starts to grow out or fades, I'll just use my regular 121A from Miss Clairol and go back to my normal look. :-)
We live in a small town...it'll be fun to see people's reactions. Or if they'll even notice...There are a few "goth" kids around. LOL.
That's a lot of work and tediousness...I just apply the color to Schmoop's head and smack it around. Here's to ya. Cheers ETW!!
ReplyDeleteI think they will definately notice ! You rock !
ReplyDeleteLike u care what the small town crowd thinks in the first place. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteCool! The smaller the town the better the reactions. Two of the wife's friends were cosmetology students back in the day. They sported various shades of purple on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteThat's really great purple, I love it!
ReplyDeleteLooking GOOD!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I hope the straight arrows hate it. Uptight bastids.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!! You gotta mix things up every now and again, it keeps you sane... I hear.
ReplyDeleteHey... I painted (just) my thumbnails a bright blue, you should see all the double takes !!
ReplyDeleteLooks totally fun! I've thought about purple, myself. Now, I'm tempted... very tempted...
ReplyDeleteI really like it, Beautiful. I'm thinkin' the local yokels are bound to notice, if they ever get past the cleavage : D
ReplyDeleteThat's what I like about you and your blog...every once in a while you push the envelope!
ReplyDeleteThe essence of Rock and Roll mind you....
Matt - I'm an OCD perfectionist, so I couldn't leave anything to chance! LOL.
ReplyDeleteMC - Thanks, sweetie!
Chick - I went to Kroger today and no double takes, so we'll see...
DWK - You know I don't care. It's the thrill of seeing reactions that makes my day!
Paige - I still can't resist looking at it in the mirror all the time! LOL.
He Said - Yes, the reactions are the best!
NCP - It would be very becoming on a roller derby girl (hint, hint).
Doc - Thanks so much!
Dish - Me too! I love shaking people up.
Ron - I'm all about shakin' it up!
Joe - I'm sure you get lots of "looks". Just tell them they're your "coke thumbnails".
