Adventures in haircolor

[rikibeth]

Just went down to Sally Beauty Supply with andrianna.

I wanted Manic Panic Vampire Red, or so I thought. In any case that was the color I was going for.

andrianna said that she'd tried other brands that worked better, and that since I was putting it over black, I ought to get the one with the least metallic stuff in it, because it'd take better.

So, with her to guide me, what I've got is:

A bottle of 40-volume developer (which is what I used, years ago, to go from natural brown to strawberry blonde)
A packet of Kaleidocolors Blue lightener
A tube of Jerome Russell Punky Professional Vermilion Red
A packet of Ion conditioner
and a pair of gloves for her to use.

Tomorrow afternoon, the streaks.

Whee!

Ah, such memories. Godspeed!

Thank you! I probably should have gotten this out of my system when I was a teenager, or so eternaleponine tells me, but I didn't, so I am damned well doing it NOW.

At least my daughter is not yet old enough to be embarrassed by me doing this. :)
