Question: How light for blue hair?

[Vaelarsa]

Is this light enough to be putting blue in my hair?

Keep in mind I've bleached it like 3 times in the past two months,
and the hair dye in question is Manic Panic.

I want to put a strip in my hair that fades from dark blue into neon pink,
and I don't want to fuck it up with a nasty green color.

I am guessing that is light enough to put blue in.
My hair was insanely pink before. That worked alright for me.

Ok. We need a gay person.

My hair was darker when I dyed it blue... much darker... you're good to go...

It should work.

Keep in mind though, I have no experience with haircare products and I'm not a huge fan of dying hair to begin with. Of course, I'm a ginger, so my hair is naturally awesome by default. =D

since you have bleached it I wouldn't recommend putting color in it yet.. I would wait just a little longer because you have damaged your hair.. you put the color in now its going to make it worse and it won't look right.

I dyed mine right after bleaching it.
It looked fiiiine.

Did you do it or a professional? My older sister tried to and OMG it turned out horrible

I do my own hair all the time, colour, cut, and style.
I seem to be doing alright.

Slyck: I want pink and blue, not rainbows. Lol.

Bloodshot_Eyes: Mine's been darker before, too, when I tried for blue. But it's always been insanely hard for blue to stick to my stubborn hair.

A Concerned Citizen: Hopefully.

Lunar Wolf: I thought that rule only applied to permanent color, instead of semi-perms? Since the semi-perms don't actually have ammonia in them and shit. (As far as I know.) Actually, I always thought that was the whole point of the "bleach first" rule, to damage your hair enough for otherwise weak semi-perms to actually penetrate the hair.

No I am too poor to afford that kind of treatment.
I go and buy a couple $10 bleaching kits, and wet my hair with one.
Then when it stops getting hot, I comb out most of it and put in the second box.
(I am native colour does not like to leave my hair)
and then I washed it out, used my dye, and ba-BAM! Pink hair.

A coworker of mine does hair, and she's told me repeatedly that a common mistake people make is thinking it's OK to dye your hair immediately after bleaching. Not that it'll turn out bad, but the color won't stick as well, so the color won't last as long.

Also, only wash color treated hair in cold water. It'll last longer :D

I've seen muuuuuch darker hair than that get dyed. You'll be fine.

 

[Spawtsie Paws]

I hate dyes. It doesn't ever work well for me.

I tried to dye my hair blonde once. You know what? I looked like a fucking pumpkin.

 

[alicewater]

No don't do it! I did this same thing myself two years ago and yes it turned my hair green! Sure it looked epic in my hair, but seriously don't do it.

 

[Lunar Wolf]

Well personally I've never dyed my hair before. I have a natural highlight that pops out in the summer time and I like the way it looks.

I used to know a boy with all blue hair. I called him Grover. He called me Thing 1 and Thing 2.

Do it. Do it now. If it turns green then thats better. Cuz green kicks ass.

Awe, it's not all that hard.

Did you get blond, or Bleach? Blond dye is for people with light hair (which you do not have).
You need bleach, and if your hair is anything like mine you will need two boxes.

Thanks guys.
I already did it.

If you're curious about the results, then here's a photo:

I'm also going to dye the strip on the opposite side, so it's more even.
