Hair Adventures Part 2

I've decided to continue it from the original post here. Maybe I should update my tags as well but that's already a large section haha.

Blue Velvet topped off with leftover RAW Deep Purple.

These dark colors are AMAZING. They seem to last forever even when I dilute them. I am sure that these dyes go on practically black which seems scary when you're wanting an instant vivid color. Purple based blues go on dark, take awhile to fade to a bright blue and may photograph purple sometimes :)

Ion Brights Red.
My first experience using this brand! I was so excited to use a bright demi dye from Ion. It's around $5 in store compared to $12 of jars. You can read the review for it :3

Salon Color
I don't know the exact brand or anything... but it was such an awesome red done by a friend. So much darker in person! My hair was previously a hot pink.

Ion Demi 3RV Burgundy Brown
I didn't take many pictures during this time :( My favorite burgundy color! This color looked dark brown and red in brigher lighting conditions. It lasted a few weeks before it had faded to the previous bright red. It really helped blend my overgrowth. I think I had about 4-5 months worth of dark roots. /lazy

Special Effects Burgundy Wine
Even though Ion was a Demi dye (just deposits, no need for developer), I still prefer just using semi dyes! Burgundy Wine came out to be a purpley red on me and I used it to touch up the fading root area. It was pretty good.

Special Effects Blue Velvet again
Diluted some Blue Velvet to get this result on the ends. It came out to a very dark purple that had to be shampooed to lighten. Purple is one of my favorite colors. I loved it so much I actually had purple hair for over a year (longest color!) and not quite ready to back to it.

Bleached slightly
My original plan was to do an ombre. Red, maybe orange and blonde. I didn't want to damage it though so I lightly bleached the ends for a headstart and tried to fade it. Colors kept bleeding onto the lighter ends. I actually liked the peach but the pink only got brighter.

Ion Brights Teal
Going red and burgundy was supposed to be the end of my bright hair. I wanted to go back for a year but I kept putting it off. Natural colors don't feel like me. Most of my hair decisions are well thought out but this was definitely impulsive. I like to bleach my whole head 1-2 times a year only. Faded the red using this method.

Punky's Alpine Green
I'm surprised at how well this dye covered the icky bits. It's such a pretty green on top. I couldn't decide if I wanted to dye it all green or go a blue teal. I love them both!


I have been a bit adventurous with trying out new dyes. It's crazy to see how it adds up since late January. I'll love to do more dye reviews but only for the very best/worst. My hair seems to hold color so well that I'm not sure if I should even write much up because an average person's color lasts around 4-6 weeks while mine could go on forever. ~Curly Girl Method for life~ LOL
