Hey Youtube World! It's me, Evelyn.
Over the past couple months, I've had a lot
of fun with my bright auburn SheaMoisture
color. Then I dived into the world of Remy
Ma bangs so I could dye them purple and dusty
pink, and back to Remy Ma, and more dusty
pink and more purple, and here we are. I am
ready for a change so a change gone come!
You can see my dusty black roots, that's my
natural hair color. And then the dusty SheaMoisture
color which is kind of brown, and then this
fuchsia concoction we got going on.
So I divided my hair into sections like I
always do for everything. And I went ahead
and hollered at Manic Panic Flash Lightning
30 volume developer bleach kit.
Have you ever accidentally sniffed a bunch
of Kool-Aid powder? Well I can guarantee you
that sniffing a whole bunch of bleach powder
on accident is a lot worse, so I do have to
cover my face with a scarf.
That's what the concoction looks like. Got
my black power fist rett.
The box says to use this as fast as you can,
so I try to apply it to my hair as fast as
I can.
Try not to get it in my eye, cuz that's a
hazard. And you can see it's lifting pretty
quickly in that previously bleached spot,
so I put my shower cap on and let it sit.
I knew my bangs would lift quickly because
they were already bleached, so 30 minutes
in, I rinsed it out and shampooed. And as
for the rest, I left it in for 90 minutes,
rinsed it out and shampooed, and as you can
see it is orange. Lifting red is really hard
and I didn't want to bleach my hair a second
time.
I used Manic Panic "After Midnight" and Ion
Color Brilliance "Sky Blue". They're both
semi permanent colors. I mixed them together,
and applied directly to my bleached hair.
In my experience, I get better color pay off
when I apply the dye to 100% dry hair, but
I just didn't have the patience to be making
this a two or three day process.
So I'm just applying it to my towel dried
hair. It's still a little bit damp. Hopefully
I'll like the results still.
Covered it with a different shower cap and
let it sit for like 6 hours.
So I finally rinsed it out. Took forever to
rinse all the dye out. Then I blow dry my
hair. I feel like that seals in the color
better. I have no idea if that's scientifically
correct, but it's what I do.
And you can see that my hair is really dark
teal almost on the orange part that was bleached,
and then on my bangs it's kind of like a true
blue.
