Stargirl's New Blue 'Do

Okay, honestly, after I took these photos, I realized that I had blue hair and a red sweater and looked slightly like Thing 1 and Thing 2. C'est la vie. Anyway, I think it looks ridiculously good. Plus I've missed being able to wear red. Some of these photos are silly. Don't know what I was thinking. Enjoy the camwhoring of my fabulous blue hair!!!

Baby Blue

Hello! I cannot find my camera to show you photos, but I just died my hair blue. I'll put up photos tomorrow. In the mean time, here is a link to some people who used the same hair dye:

Not me... But my hair color

I'm wearing a red sweater right now. I look kind of like Thing 1. Or maybe thing 2.




Atomic Pink lasted a ridiculously long time on me. In fact, when I stripped my hair color last night, it took the black out of my roots, but most of the pink was left in. Then I bleached my hair. It still had some pink. My hair must be really fucking porous. Hopefully this will stay in as well. But, maybe not to the extent that I can't get it out of my damn hair.

I'm Blonde at Heart

Yesterday, I began the many stepped process of changing my hair color. This is taking longer than it ever has before because I'm using color stripper and bleaching. Plus, I'm giving my hair breaks in between. Yesterday, I stripped the color and then bleached it. Today, I'm repeating this process over because it didn't get light enough. I knew I would have to.



About to start! Very excited!



Got the color stripper in my hair.



Hair is rinsed and conditioned. You can see that the color stripper took out not only the dye but some of my actual color. This is good, gives me a head start with the bleaching



Getting ready to bleach my hair. Mixing up the Jerome Russel Punky Bleach Kit in 40 vol.



Look how golden its getting!!!! There's also some red.


My hair all washed and dried. It's in a ponytail b/c we were getting ready to go to Wal-mart.


You can see in this picture that the ends and the back are still pretty red. That's why I'm re-stripping and bleaching it today. Also, while I did pretty good with my roots in the front, you can see them in the back. Pretty shitty, no?







This was taken this morning. With nice smooth hair and a little makeup. What a difference it makes! Holy cow! I think this picture is TOO CUTE!



Another picture so you can see my hair. It's really red. Well, it's being stripped of color as we speak so I suppose I'll have another photo montage in a little bit.

Haul: Dollar Tree and Sally Beauty Supply

So, today I needed to get some color stripper for my hair and stain remover for my skin after I color. Okay, well I don't need to go out and buy color stripper. I ordered some online, but I'm way too impatient. I'll save that one to do next time. So, I went to Sally's. I LURVE Sally's! I got a Sally's card. $5 for the whole year. In two trips, I make all that money back.

Anyway, I picked up some L'Oreal ColorZap. The cashier recommended that one. Since I already have color in my hair, I need to strip the color before I bleach it. To get the stain out of my skin after I color, I picked up Ion Stain Remover. I haven't used this before. Usually, I just rub as much as I can out and wait until it fades.


While I was there, I also picked up some Beyond The Zone products, since they're having a buy two get one free sale. I got two bottles of Color Jamz in Bubble Head Pink and Non So Shy Violet. I'll use these after my color starts to fade. Damn, I love Color Jamz. Since they were having that sale, I also got The Scruncher. Can't wait to try out this product. It's a "3-in-1 spray, with natural organic extracts and Panthenol to scrunch, style and finish a look that lasts all day." And it's a pretty big bottle; over 500 mL.




At the Dollar Tree, I wanted to pick up some makeup remover wipes. I use it to clean brushes on a daily basis after I use them. They're really thin. They probably suck for getting it off your face well, but I just want it to clean my brushes. I still do a real cleaning once a week.While I was there, I picked up a couple L.A. Colors loose eyeshadows in Black Pearl, Lollipop, and Snow White. I wanted to pick up Sunshine, the gold color, but I couldn't remember if I already owned it!!!! These are sold at Cherry Culture for $3, but at the dollar tree for $1!!!!!!

Anyway, I'm about to use the color stripper so I can get started on my hair project!

Haul Pt.4: The Garment District

A week or so ago, I purchased some stuff from The Garment District. Well, it came in today!!! Yayyyy!!! I'm totally stoked.

My Haul:




First: Jerome Russell's Punky Bleach Kit. I picked up the 40 vol. (30 vol. pictured.)It comes with a tint brush, plastic gloves, peroxide, and bleach pack. I've bleached my hair before, don't worry! I just have to wait for the Color Zap to come in to strip out the black in my hair.





The two colors I picked up were Special Effects Atomic Pink and Wildflower. If you're ever going to color your hair a funky color, USE SPECIAL EFFECTS! They come out the brightest and stay the longest. It's super easy to use, you just might turn your bathtub a little purple. Don't worry! It comes out!




Also, they sent me a bumper sticker! How nice! :-) I'm going to put it on the new white table I snagged that someone was about to toss. (The pictures of my products on the white plastic table? That's it.)

Special Effects

I'll be dying my hair Atomic Pink with Wildflower highlights this week, as soon as the dyes come in. (Colors by Special Effects.) I can't wait to post pictures! I've done funky hair colors before, but nothing this wild!
