Anonymous asked: Hey :) I was just wondering how you dyed your hair pink? did you have to bleach your hair first and then dye it? what products did you use? how do you keep it healthy?

hi! okay you asked a lot but ill try + answer it all! i dyed my hair pink by bleaching it twice over a period of two days, then i toned it + dyed it pink. it was very damaging on my hair at the time so i dont recommend  it! 

products that i use:
- Hi Lift 40 Vol Peroxide (its very strong + can give you bleach sores if left on too long).
I mix it with this blue bleaching powder, I don’t have any at the moment so i cant give you the brand name. you can usually get a huge bag of it from a hair product store for $15.
- Paintbox Pink Flamingo + Pravana Vivids Pink. I mix the two into white conditioner to get a nice pink. Paintbox honestly sucks but it takes the purple out of the pravana. I am always trying to find the perfect pink dye. I put this into freshly shampoo’d hair + leave it in for as long as possible (normally 2-3 hours)
- Redken’s Straightening Balm. I rarely use styling products but I have a whole bunch of redken stuff I got for free that I sometimes use if my hair is being unruly.

Once you bleach your hair, keeping it healthy is pretty hard. I use Palmer’s Coconut Oil Shampoo + Conditioner which is amazing. I also recommend Indola Repair Treatment, its the best but hard to find. Mostly I just try not to wash, roughly brush or straighten/curl my hair too much. Haircuts help but i hate people touching me.
