Oof. I like having multi-colored hair, but the upkeep is involved. Last night was bleaching and toning the pink streaks, and then today involved painting everything else in burgundy deposit-only color and letting it sit while I worked. Then the rinsing. So. Much. Rinsing. But all I have left to do is put the pink dye on the bleached streaks, and I'm done for a while!
The nice thing about using deposit-only color (SFX "burgundy wine" mixed with a dollop or so of Splat! "crimson obsession") is that my natural mouse-brown color goes deep pomegranate wine, like my preferred color of lipstick, and my grey and white hairs turn varying shades of fuchsia and rose red. If only it didn't grow out so fast!
Speaking of hair growing out: I need a trim, but my hair is now officially past waist length. Whoo! Yes, I want it longer. I want ridiculous Pre-Raphaelite fantasy hair, dammit. Which is why I occasionally make wistful noises about a perm*, because I want that wavy hair without resorting to sleeping in rag curls.
* I am not getting a perm. No one has to rush to tell me not to. A perm would strip my color, damage my hair and probably make me lose at least 4" in length, and almost certainly melt the bleached streaks. No, I am not getting a perm.
