Question: How light for blue hair?

[Zseliq]

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.

It looks yummy like candy!

Very nice, VaE!

I intend to dye my hair red to augment the red that already exists in my hair.

Since I cannot dye it a nice green.

So, this is what I'd be working with:

This,and this.

Lunar Wolf: Thanks.

Zseliq: Lol. Well if it helps, the pink dye is called "Candy Pink" and smells like bubblegum.

Jesusfish: Thanks. So like auburn red, fire-engine red, or burgundy red? I figure you mean auburn, since you said you're augmenting the color.

Probably Fire-truck red.

Really Augment it.

Lul. Purple's cool.
I could never pull it off, though.

That's cool.

I did my roots red once. (foolishly thinking the hairdye would strip out the black, because I was stupid)
It went like...

bright-ass red
V
purple-red-black
V
dark brown red
V
black

I looked like little miss goth ginger that hadn't touched up her roots in a while.

I'm not sure if it will dye it green...what shade of blue are you using? I have black hair and I dyed my hair navy until my school made me change it.
Watch out for blue fading to grey. In fact, you should go get it professionally coloured

My blue is Manic Panic: After Midnight Blue.
If it goes gray (I like the color gray, anyway) I'll just redye the blue back over again with what I have in the jar.

It's not the grey that you would want. It's like...housecat grey. Like those bluish grey cats. Russian blues (cat. Not genre)

I know what you mean.
The silvery slate kind of blue.

I like that color, though.

As long as it doesn't turn green (or, god forbid, orange for whatever random-assed reason) I'm gewd.

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.

Manic panic is an organic hairdye so you can bleach and dye it with no worries

it'll go a blue-y grey

I wear my hair in a pompadour so it just looked terrible.

 

[Stargazer Bleu]

Looks really good.
Like how the 2 colors come out :3

 

[Spawtsie Paws]

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.

Ooooooh. I would have never taken the time to figure that out. Good to know now, I guess. >.>

My hair is blond :3

The thing about dying your hair a drastically different color is you have to keep ontop of the roots or it will look like shit...

Blublack is hawt, its black but when light hits the hair it shines metallic blue.
