Khaleesi. 9,462 Posted July 26, 2012 Purple maybe? Or you've done that already? Yeah, I've done a deep purple before. I had it for the winter, and then switched to red for the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelsea831 196 Posted July 26, 2012 Oh man its the worst! I used ultra violet and i got blue tints that turned green when trying to bleach it out! all from trying to get pastel hair! fuck manic panic. also ive used the brand splat,fuck that brand too. Have you tried mixing a white conditioner with a light purple dye? (The more conditioner you use the lighter the color). So instead of just applying the dye directly to your hair, you add the mixture of the two and let it sit for about 10 minutes depending on the brand. Then rinse out and style. That's the easiest way I know to make pastel colors aside from washing it out constantly. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reagan 314 Posted July 26, 2012 Carling, your hair looks uhh-mazing! I wish I could pull of red. Oh well though, my hair color is cool. I like it haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelsea831 196 Posted July 26, 2012 Dyed my hair a caramel blonde colour but still want it to be lighter. You know when it looks really light in the hairdressers but when you get home it's not that different? That happened. Just gonna go full blonde next time. Maybe not white blonde but I'll get highlights that colour. Lightening your hair can be so addicting! I started out dying my hair a medium blonde color but I got lazy and just bleach it all over. I'm pale enough that most people think it's natural (even with my roots showing, haha). Have you tried using any gradual lightening products for your hair? Like the John Freida "Go Blonder" line? I've found it helps a ton between dyes so you don't have to damage your hair as often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive tried that but some conditioners close the hair cutile up and just doesnt dye the hair,so im trying to find the right conditioner i guess haha,im going to try again soon though!

GreenDayisAmazing 111 Posted July 29, 2012 I like your hair too, Carling. I have to straighten my hair everyday or it looks like crap. I should have never started to strighten my hair in high school. My hair looked better before and it was already really straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fiercecircus 531 Posted July 29, 2012 Love love love crazy colors. I just found out i am allowed to have crazy colors at the vets office, so i am gonna start slowly with a streak or two. YAY. also- you can lighten manic panic (or RAW or Jerome Russel punky color) by getting the white "toner" in that brand. I know manic panic's is called "VIRGIN SNOW." basically- it is a plain dye base that has some blue tones in it to take the yellow out of bleached hair. It is what you use when you want snow white hair. But- you can mix it with other colors to make them more pastel. I would mix this color with ultra violet to get the color you want. OR- get another brand. Honestly i'm not that impressed with MP even though they're supposed to be the BEST color out there. I really like Jerome Russell better. Theirs smells a lot (too perfumey) but lasts a long long time. And believe it or not, the raw color lasts a long time too. OH AND I CUT MY HAIR THIS WEEK. It was mad long and frizzy so i got it cut. And i got a sample of frizz serum at the salon which is THE GREATEST THING EVER. Seriously! I have the front held down with clips. (also it's 4:30am here so if i look tired that's my excuse. Just got outta work.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love 4,722 Posted July 29, 2012 I don't know why the world got the idea that Manic Panic is the best brand out there because it really is not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Göta 1,110 Posted July 29, 2012 I dyed my hair again last week and used a brand of red that I've never tried before. It looked so weird at first, but now after a few washes I like it much better, yay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Iris_ 26 Posted July 29, 2012 Argh I don't like Manic Panic either. I think it's too liquid, I prefere using Directions, they have more of a gel like consistance and in my opinion last longer I'm currently thinking about dying my bangs (like on my ava) back to either purple or a very dark turquoise/petrol colour, heeelp I really can't decide :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Undómiel 7,174 Posted July 29, 2012 I don't get it. I can wear so much make up and it still looks like I'm not wearing that much. It just highlights/accentuates/smooths etc. I honestly don't understand how girls can look like this; I just don't think it's possible with the make up I have (not that I want to achieve it!)
