Heyaa Bunnies!
yup, I got a new haircolour again..
I've planned a new colour for a while now but couldn't quite decide.
In the end I thought I might wash my red out a lil bit before doing anything..
BUT..I think it was tuesday? My phone was going crazy and I couldn't use most stuff. In the morning it started with tik tok, then my music, my games and even whatsapp started having lots of errors. I tried fixing it but it didn't work, so I felt like I needed to reset my whole phone but that meant that all pics are lost. I wasn't home, so I couldn't pull all my pics to my computer. The one app that still worked was facebook, so I thought I'd upload at least some pics. (I spamed a lot on facebook that evening). Since I had no internet there, it took sooo long...it was still going on at 4AM, I sometimes woke up and checked. When I woke up at 6AM all uploads were done...and my phone worked perfectly too.
So I did all that............for nothing??
So, what does that have to do with my hair? I had to go through my hime pics as well and I missed it a lot. I needed to be a hime gal again..NOW. But how do I get rid of the red???
I tried the Vitamin C+Anti-dandruff shampoo method and it worked very well!!
The red lifted better in the back, the front part was very difficult. It was the first time after 2 months that my water was clear after washing my hair!! It wasn't enough for dying it, so I tried the same method again this morning...but this time it didn't change much anymore.
left is colour before, middle is after one time mask and right is the second time.
The back is almost white but the front was still very reddish. I left both times the mask on for about an hour. The second time I even added baking soda, but it didn't do much anymore beside drying out my hair. So I left an oil mask on bcuz of what will happen next. After washing the oil out with my blonde shampoo, the red rinsed out a lil bit again...but not much
So next step...I actually wanted to do this later but after I felt like the vitamin c mask doesn't do anything anymore, I felt like I had to go stronger..
I did a bleach bath with my bleach powder, 30 volume, shampoo, blonde and purple shampoo.
I was so lost..and felt so hopeless after I rinsed it and the front was still red!!!!!!!
my roots were all white!!! this was interesting bcuz bleach baths r supposed to be very light but it had the same power as if I did it without the diluting shampoo part.
The picture is way lighter than it was in reallife...
I thought about what I might do next and decided to drive the risk-way
I put the dye on! You can see here that it still is reddish in the front but I am positively shocked about how good this dye covers up. I used garnier 70 toffee blonde.
some tips fried off during the whole process. I cutted them off and cut my bangs again. I wanted to grow them out but eventually didn't like myself without.
And the result
It's not visible in the pictures but the roots have many red spots and hues and in total my own hair is warmer than my exte, which are synthetic rn. I bought them last time going blonde, before going red but they arrived too late. I set them as my goal color. So, I am happy they still blend in somehow
I look a little bit like a reallife barbie now haha
I am content for the beginning...maybe after a couple months when I need to redye my roots, the reddish hue will get off too...who knows. BUT despite this, I am very happy with the colour I took!! It's a perfect match.
