I had initally planned a post to decide about the next colour for my hair, but after talking it over with my hairdresser, she told me that considering how bleached and light my hair was, no picture I showed would ever come out the way I wanted it to. I had to slowly introduce colour back into my hair so the resulting colour would be really unpredictable and it would still fade out after awhile. So even I was surprised with the eventual result.
I chose to bleach my roots first, because I wanted my whole head to have a uniform colour, not colour blocks and especially not visibly darker roots. 
Resulting hair colour. I left my pink streak alone because my hairdresser and I didn't want to take the risk and produce a weird coloured chunk there, since we couldn't predict what kind of colour would come out when we mixed the dyes. (Sorry, I only had on basic makeup here, this is how I usually look like when I go to school)
My hair is definitely brownish in colour, but its not a dark brown, its kindda ashy, with hints of gold and I can definitely see a pinkish hue to it and it looks bit orangish at times too. Esther called it strawberry brown but I don't know if there's any real name to this colour. Unfortunately during the bleaching process, I tolerated the painful process for a tad too long because I totally forgot I had to put on another colour after that. So when the other colour was applied, I nearly screamed from the pain, it hurt so bad! I had no choice but to tolerate the pain otherwise I would have suffered for nothing, so I sat through the pain and I'm glad I did.
I'm still getting used to the colour but I'm really liking it, it's definitely different from the majority but I've stopped getting snide comments from delusional people who assume I'm trying to copy eitehr Lady Gaga or Xiaxue. Considering my hair colour would fade out and change over time, I'm wondering how it'll look like in the future, so I guess I'll see how it goes!
That color is soooooo gorgeous! I also love how you kept a pink streak. Strawberry Brown suits it ^^ Although if it was a box color it'd probably be something like Raspberry Brownie or something tasty sounding :D
ReplyDeleteI think it looks really cool & unique! ♥ I like the pinkish hint to it a lot, & your bright pink streak just helps to bring it out more~
