Orange with envy???
As you've probably noticed....I have green hair. Green is my favorite color, especially lime. Many of my friends on Twitter have probably also noticed I've been complaining about my hair turning orange after the last dye job. Well, this morning there is no doubt...I look like a pumpkin. I appreciate everyone who has offered possible explanations as to why this is happening. Previously I was using a hair dye that only lasted a week tops before fading to a sick looking yellow. I decided to go all out and ordered some Manic Panic Amplified Electric Lizard. The amplified versions of these dyes are supposed to be brighter and last longer, so I figured I'd give it a try. After bleaching and putting in the green, I was very disappointed. The green didn't seem to take at all as my hair looked the same sick yellow it was prior to putting in the bleach. I just shrugged it off and figured I'd try again later. A few days after this I started to notice little patches of red-orange in my hair. At first I thought maybe it was just where the bleach hadn't quite whited out my roots, but there were orange spots that were nowhere near my roots. This morning I got up, washed my hair and looked like this. Keep in mind when viewing this picture that I had my hair dyed ELECTRIC GREEN on FRIDAY NIGHT. It's now Wednesday morning and you would never know I had any green in there. I'm concluding it's a reaction between the dye and my water or shampoo since it seems to change every time I wash my hair. I'm interested to see what I look like tomorrow...
