So at one point in my life I decided it would be cool to have blue hair, and
figured since it was senior year of high school, why not (famous last words, and a phrase I often use). Little did I know
just how hard it would to achieve such a color with a very dark natural hair
color. So first I thought I would dye it blond, to lighten it so I could color
it. Turns out trying to dye dark hair blond just turns it orange, so for a
while I had orange hair. Then I goto a salon to have it done. Apparently they
don't know the difference between sky blue and sea green, so my hair was sea
green for a while and I was out like $70 (Today's Lesson, don't go to get an
exotic hair color at a salon, just do it yourself). They also did not do a
very good job as for like the first week or so when my hair got wet the color
would bleed and get on clothes and such, so that was fun. Then I found out
about bleaching your hair, and found a bleach and color in one thing and that
finally worked, though only for about the outer half of my hair (the rest was
just bleached). But I had succeeded and got the color I wanted. Wish I had
taken some pictures of it, maybe at some point I'll do it again when I am firmly
in a career job, and don't need to worry about appearance.
So if you have really dark hair, think really hard before making the decision to change it. Unless you like orange hair that is. This was an interesting experience to say the least, and will get you some attention. Probably not the attention you want though. It will be a while before I try this again, but I do want to do it and get pictures this time, of course since finding a job is hard enough already, probably not a good idea to do it anytime soon.
