So, if you've seen me, you'd know I've recently attempted to fight the signs of aging, and of course, I chose Pink hair dye to do it....the point where I dropped the ball in this operation was trying to do it ALL BY MYSELF. Ok ok, I'm a goober. How old do you have to be to know better than that. I did just have my 4th child recently so I'm pleading temporary (or permanent perhaps) hormonal insanity. Moving on, I used manic panic which gave me a fabulous shade of dark hot pink, I loved it, then it started to fade. I expected it to fade, however, I didn't expect it to fade faster on the ends and sides. Ewww, totally ruins the 'I'm a hip 30-something mom' if my pink hair looks crappy! Then I wanted to try another color but someone told me I had to wait till ALL the color faded out or I'd end up like rainbow bright...sheesh why is it so complicated. So the point of this pointless tirade is, if anyone knows, or knows anyone else who might know some tips and tricks with bright, unnatural hair coloring, please, please let me know!
