Crazy Color Bleaching Kit and Ion Colour Flash Ultra Indigo

Hi everyone!

Guess what I went and did on Saturday/Sunday? Dye the ends of my hair purple! Although it didn't exactly work due to the dye I used, I'm still pretty happy with it...

So this is what I used:






Read on to find out what happened...





So instead of explaining every single step in loads of detail, since you probably know how to go about dying hair, here's a quick group of pictures showing the 3 steps with a short explanation:

-First I mixed the bleach up following the instructions, then using the brush and gloves provided, applied it to the mid to end section of my hair.
-I left it in my hair for just 15 minutes, man this stuff is strong!
-Then after washing it all out, this is what was left.
-I then applied the dye straight from the bottle to the bleached section of hair and also slightly above so make the blend a bit smoother
-I left it for 20 minutes like it said but literally no colour transferred so I re-applied it, this time for 1 hour.
-I then washed it out and left it to dry

---At every stage after washing my hair I roughly straightened it just so I could make sure everything was level (although I got a bit lazy towards the end)---

And this is what I was left with:

So as you can see, it didn't actually work the way I was expecting it to. The purple dye only worked on some strands, so I was left with sort of patchy half blonde/half purple ends. Although, where it didn't add colour, it did darken the remaining strands.

Obligatory bathroom selfie ;)

Since doing this, I have washed my hair 3 times and almost all of the purple has washed out. The funny thing is, my ends are still a lot darker than the blonde you can see above :S Anyway, I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow and am thinking about re-colouring the ends in a few days, but using a colour from a different brand... I'll keep you all updated!
