In honor of Jen’s updoming birthday, she decided that she’d like to add some new color to her hair.
Before:
We used Manic Panic Ultra Violet hair dye
and the Manic Panic Flash Lightning kit. First step was to mix the lightener into a paste-like substance, then spread it onto the hair, like frosting a cake. The lightener then had to sit for an hour, so we watched this week’s “LOST” episode and waited. Once it was ready, we washed the lightener out of Jen’s hair. We then had to wait for her hair to dry, as the dye isn’t supposed to be added to wet hair. When the necessary state of dryness had been reached, it was time for the dye. While wearing a pair of disposable gloves, I worked the dye into Jen’s hair. Adding the dye is like a combination of finger painting and dough kneading. It’s unusual at first, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it. After the dye had been sufficiently applied, it had to sit for 20 minutes. Then it had to be rinsed out, and the hair again had to dry.
After:
The color of the purple against Jen’s natural hair color is fairly subtle. But in the right light, it stands out. Of course, Jen is naturally beautiful to me, but I think the purple looks good. This is the second time we’ve dyed her hair like this, and we’re getting better at it. Maybe next time we’ll go for Cotton Candy Pink. (Just kidding.)
Lookin’ good, Jen!
Hey - I’ve done the cotton candy pink! I’ve also done the numerous shades of red - and also I’ve done the purple. It looks good thou!
