We want our pound of flesh, and we'll take it

You fucking fascist

Not great pictures, but here is my new hair color!

I didn't bleach it beforehand. My poor hair is still recovering from my surgery back in october 2022. Plus, bleach can be so harsh. It's darker than I'm used to (not counting the black, obviously, lol), but I love it! I'm also curious to see how the green/teal color washes out.

Hi there! I hope you don't mind me asking, but I really love your pink hair, it look so good and I got really curious, if you always use the same hair dye? Or if there is a certain type of hair dye that you can recommend?

Okay so! If your goal is also light to pastel pink hair, a ton of good options. I have never tried a pink hair dye that didn't turn out nice, so if you already like a certain brand I'd say just buy pink in that brand. The only difference I tend to find is some pinks fade faster than others, but how damaged your hair is affects that (so my hair has held onto 'easily fades' dye for several months, and faded out 'quite long lasting dye' within a month).

I personally think the more warm toned pinks are more likely to turn out a pink color, if your hair is a darker blonde or orange in places or has some cool tones hanging around (like turquoise bits that never washed out etc). For me warmer tones just tend to mess up less. If you want a more lavender look, but don't want to risk it going muddy swamp color grey/green/brown, it will work more reliably on fully bleach blonde hair, and if you use a more pinkish-lavender again you're less likely to get a silver/grey result. (If you've done lavender successfully before then ignore any input about this lol - I've just messed up lavender and ended up swampy brown so often I just do NOT try lavender anymore unless its a pinkish-lavender).

I use lime crime right now for my pinks. I usually use Bunny (tint) when my hair is bleach blonde. But my hair grew out, has darker blonde in it now (golden blonde level 8-9 spots), so I picked a darker pink this time. I used Full Coverage Lime Crime Bubblegum Rose and left it in 2 hours, then washed it out 3 times with head and shoulders shampoo (so I faded it a bit). So I'd assume to get a similar result to mine, leave it in just 1 hour or less (depending on how damaged your hair is - my hair is very damaged so it took the color quickly).

Lime Crime Tints fade in about 2 months, slower if you take care of the color (like 4-5 months), and much faster if you purposely try to fade it with dandruff shampoo/clarifying shampoo/etc (if you're trying to switch colors faster). Full Coverage lasts I'm assuming 4-5 months, I usually use the tints and they last in my hair 1-5 months depending on how much I purposely try to wash them out toward the end. I like lime crime because the pinks ALL fade into rose gold, then golden blonde, then platinum blonde if you started with it. So when you're ready to switch colors you can just wash your hair a ton to fade it to blonde, then slap on the blonde toner of the shade you want (if you want to go back to say silver blonde). I have also used the Sushi tint to tone out blue/turquoise/grey sections out of my blonde hair after a mistake with silver tone lol (the Sushi tint turned my hair back into a golden blonde).

When my hair was platinum blonde instead of darker blonde like it was just before dying, I would usually use Tint Bunny. Its a very pretty pastel bubblegum pink and always came out nice. If your hair is too dark, it turns your hair a pretty rose gold color. I also used Tint Sext (which turns it a lavender-pink pastel color or if your hair is too dark it turns it a cool-tone lavender-rose gold). I've used the Tint Sushi (turns hair a peachy color right between orange and pink, fades into a peachy blonde then golden blonde, and works great on color correcting hair that's too cold toned with greys/blues/greens). I also REALLY like the Tint Shook - it says its a tint but goes on as DARK as full coverage, and gives you a berry-purple-pink color that fades into a pastel version of that and then fades into a neutral blonde. Its much more saturated than Sext (Sext is very pale and in some ways looks like a silvery blonde more than pink).

I pretty much exclusively used the Shook and Bunny tints, depending on if I wanted darker closer to purple, or lighter bubblegum pastel pink. Then Sushi tint for color correcting issues.

summary: This recent dye job is the Full Coverage Bubblegum Rose dye and I suspected it would turn out like Bunny tint but darker (so it should fade into the same color as Bunny). I think I was right. I was aiming for hair like the lead Goo Ryeon in Tomorrow, which I think turned out pretty close. A neutral light pink that will fade into a pastel then a blonde. (If your hair is at the Platinum Blonde level, lighter than mine, I recommend the Bunny tint for an easy pretty pastel pink. If you want a light pink very likely to work on slightly darker hair, I recommend Shook for a cooler tone or Bubblegum Rose for a warmer tone).

One downside of Lime Crime dyes though - if you're sensitive to perfumes (I am) the dye is VERY perfumed, that's why I had to wash it out 3 times and only left it in a couple hours, the dye irritates my skin if its on too long just because I cannot tolerate perfumes. I have to make sure I get it completely off or I will Feel it until its washed out. However, manic panic gave me the same problem as do many dyes, so if you've tolerated these types of dyes in the past then lime crime is not likely to irritate u any more than another brand.

alternatives: honestly manic panic Cotton Candy Pink looks similar, I used to use it a lot and its a good alternative (manic panic can be hard to fade out for me). I've heard amazing things about Arctic Fox colors too, though I've never used them (Frose looks like a good alternative to Bunny, Electric Paradise looks like a good alternative to Bubblegum Rose). Ion Brights colors are hit and misses for me - my nieces looked great in them and they faded easily out of virgin hair, however on me they easily turn too dark and swamp colored so I don't personally love them. I do NOT recommend Splat or N'Rage every time I use them horrible results occur and my hair gets damaged and they refuse to fade out. L'Oreal's line of pastel colors are ALSO hit or miss for me - I never used them because I can tell just by looking they will turn out too dark and look bad, but I've had a friend use them and get the correct result (I'm guessing it depends on how platinum your hair is and if you managed to get all the gold and warm tones out ahead of time). For the most Expected results, I personally recommend Arctic Fox and Lime Crime - those are the only bright colored dyes where me And my friends actually get the result on the bottle on our hair relatively close and good looking every time.

#hair #hairdye #pink hair #ask #i am Sorry i never shut up about hair #i absolutely love talking about hair stuff lol #@lucientelrunya #i can dig up some reference pics if you want but i have lost some of the pics #i do think the lime crime website reference pictures/review pictures are Quite accurate though #my results turned out pretty much exactly like the reviewers #its why i kept using the dye. i get exactly the results i expect #if u already dye ur hair bright colors u know this already but #1 if youre going for pastel i highly recommend getting Platinum Blonde first (level 10 blonde or above preferably little to no gold tone)#then 2 using Shook if you want a cooler tone pink or to tone out some of the gold left in ur bleached hair (if theres any gold in there)#3 if your hair is NOT bleach blonde but just various shades of darker blonde #i highly recommend a full Coverage dye like the one i used Bubblegum Rose or Peach or #if you use a tint use Shook (it covers well and looks good on darker blonde too)#4 if your hair IS platinum blonde. Sext looks more like a purple-shampoo/silver tint tbh than an actual pink #and Sushi tint can tone out any grey/cool tones if youre trying to go for a WARMER blonde or pink color

what kind of hair dye is going to be my longest lasting option? i’ve tried a few brands and i’ve had really mixed results. i’m wanting to go orange and i’m looking into going with Arctic Fox or something like that. I’m American but i can order it from wherever.

i’ve tried manic panic and not really had great results.

i’ve tried unicorn hair(lime crime) and had decent luck with darks but not with their neons.

i’ve tried splat and actually had really good results(pink for 3 years).

i’ve tired loreal and it was decent but it bled really bad and faded really weird.

Hair refresh! From lime crime chocolate cherry to revlon cherry red. Ngl, it looks more red on camera it turned out very rusty brown, I probably should have stripped the color out first.

If anyone has recommendations for cheap and good quality pastel blue/purple hair dye/toners please let me know. I'm a level 9-10 blonde & usually use lime crime unicorn hair tints but the 2 colors I tried to use, powder (blue) and cloud (periwinkle), weren't pigmented enough for my hair.

I need to know what hair dye you use please!

I've been using Lime Crime Unicorn Hair Full Coverage. The color I currently have is called Sea Witch, and I achieved it by bleaching my hair, adding purple to make the bleached hair less yellow, and then applying the dye and popping on a shower cap and letting it sit for like three or four hours. I don't know how necessary any of these steps are, but they worked pretty well for me. Only issue is, and I haven't had this problem with some of the other Unicorn Hair dyes I've used, my hair bleeds color like crazy. It's not as bad now a month in, but for a while there, when I sweat, the sweat was blue. One night I fell asleep with a pillow on top of my head for maximum light and sound blockage, and when I woke up, my forehead was stained from where my hair had been pressed against it. And it was stained badly. Like scrubbing it hard because I had to go to work in 30 minutes.

Like here’s the side of the pillow I don’t sleep on

And here’s the side I do

Hi hello.

Just here to answer your questions. Yes I do my own hair. I use Lime Crime Unicorn Hair in shade Mystic. It will start darker but will lighten over time to my current shade. This is just shy of 2 months since the last time I dyed my hair.

Pro tip: add just a dab of pink hair dye to your blue hair dye to help prevent it fading to green.

Also something to keep in mind. If you’re wanting to go blue, prepare to stay blue. It is super hard, although not completely impossible, to get rid of.

Omg thank you for actually seeing and answering my question!!!!!

Im definitely gonna look into it cause i loovveee the color and have wanted to do it before. Ive always been scared of the dye itself being trash and messing my hair up lol

dyed my hair blue yesterday and it came out SO BRIGHT! i’ve been looking for a permanent bright color, but the only dyes i could find that were neon enough for my taste were semi-permanent. (the only close permanent runner up i had already tried, and it faded pretty quickly to gray) so i bought a jar of semi- permanent lime crime unicorn hair in mystic, left it on for about 45 minutes, and it is just so vibrant it was shocking!! i’m so happy with it i feel so blue. blue nails, blue shirt, blue hair. you will never guess my favorite color.

Web Girls

I've always been fascinated by girls on the internet. There's something about the vulnerability of a girl in her room that feels uncomfortably familiar to me. Something about that privacy, something within that intimate space, that curates an authenticity that's rare to find in the interwebs. Before "The Influencer" there were bloggers. I would like to take the space to honor them here. :)

Tavi Gevinson- Style Rookie.

This may be the Tavi most know and love and know (The youngster style icon turned Gossip Girl actress extraordinaire)

But this is the Tavi I am talking about:

Style Rookie was like a spiritual awakening for me in fashion format. When I first saw Tavi I was truly awestruck and frozen in inspiration panic. There was this little create going around runway to runway, rubbing elbows with fashion LEGENDS.. devouring fashion at a pace only a fellow fashion beast could recognize. This wasn't just a hobby, this was PASSION in physical form. Her posts on styler rookie, later turning into Rookie Mag- an online magazine- were a cultural shift for every fashion lover and style pusher in the same facility. What a delight it was to grow up watching this icon's origin story develop.

Molly Soda- Digital Artist

If Enya Umanzor had a troubled big sister who left the day after graduation because of mommy issues and the curiosity to find unlocked potential, it would be Molly Soda.

If "She's so real for that" or "She's just like me fr" was a person- it would be Molly Soda. She had a pet rat named Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG for short) and she turned "beauty" on it's head with what modern scholars would call "Shit posting" herself spitting, puking, picking at her armpit hairs, all while singing so effeminately you couldn't help but be in awe of the juxtaposition of what society says is "appropriate" for a woman to be considered pretty versus what she was showing us: A woman in all her flaws and glory and still beautiful.

Check out her YouTube- Molly Soda is still creating art and content. Landlocked Mermaid- Ex- Tumblr Blogger This is a personal appreciation post here. This blogger deactivated years "before it was cool" (jk) but she really did- and became an obscure memory in the tumblr world. She RULED the indie girl Tumblr scene and went viral for kissing Conor Oberst from Bright Eyes at a concert once. Her family also owned the amusement park BIG was filmed at. I thought she was the coolest. Her and her friend Moonbrains (who I believe is still active on Tumblr) invented "sea punk" which was a mix of her handle name "landlocked mermaid" mixed with the punk movement popularized by the Tumblr grunge trend. (Anyone still own their lime crime "grunge palette"?) aka the Venus 1 haha. It's almost impossible to find pictures of them on the internet so here there are here. Immortalized in ones and zeroes.

Before vivid color existed we had to create and mix our own hair dye. This mix is superb.

There it is folks. Some of the big inspirations for some of my handles. The online ladies who helped shape an entire generation with colorful hair, cool clothes, and music tastes that broke da mout. Forever in my heart and now forever on the inter webs. To my Web Girls... Love, Michi xo

Okay so I used clairol advanced gray semi permanent dye for the first time ever. I'm absolutely beyond impressed.

I've used Clairol Jazzed before (the pink one because of course I tried pink) and it lasted 1 fucking wash, 1 fucking day, I was charged like 50 dollars by the salon that put it in and had to redo it myself the day of the wedding when my hair was meant to be pink. So naturally, because of that experience I had avoided ever buying Clairol semi permanent dyes again.

But my hair was bleached to white, lacking any gold tones, and the problem is every "natural color" dye generally is formulated with the expectation you are at LEAST putting the dye on pale banana yellow hair, or light gold hair, since that's how much most people lighten their hair. They don't make most "natural color dye" formulations for fools like me that over processed their poor fucking hair to paper white then accidentally stained them with ash so they're fucking grey ;-; no. No generally there's no fucking dye options to add gold to hair with absolutely no base gold. I usually slap pink, peach, or rose gold into hair when I've fucked up and bleached ALL yellow out of my hair, because pinks add gold back in. Pinks turn your hair pink, then fade to golden blonde. Thankfully. But alas, this time? I added peach and my hair just got silvery/whiter rather than dull grey. It still didnt get enough gold added ;-;

So I go to Sally's, asking if there's anything that will deposit golden tones to hair that's lacking any gold to begin with. Since usually, a natural blonde dye will have some violet or blue (or green if you pick a dark blonde) because the dye is meant to neutralize the slight gold tint hair is when lightening. Natural color dye does not actually get made to be put on paper white (or grey) canvasses of hair. So at Sally's, they suggest GREY COVERAGE dyes. Since natural grey hair also lacks that light Yellow base. Further, they suggest semi permanent so I can mix it with conditioner to control the color outcome better. Finally, they suggest I get both a 6G and a 6N so I can mix a tiny bit of 6N just in case the gold on its own alone (or at least as the overpowering color in 6G) doesn't hit the blue-greyish hair I've got currently and turn swamp colored (the 6N can add some of those ash tones the 6G expects on natural hair so the dye comes out closer to expected).

I do like 20 squirts of my conditioner, 20 squirts of 6G and 6 squirts of 6N. (Beforehand I do a patch test of just 6G, and 6G mixed with 6N. Both turn out golden blonde so I go with mixing both colors so my roots don't get super warm, since my roots aren't grey only the platinum lengths). Turns out: perfect natural looking golden blonde.

I decide to go over it again with just the 6N (neutral) mixed with conditioner (20 squirts conditioner 20 6N dye), because now that there's gold base in my hair I can put a neutral dye in and get a result I expect. I do, it's now a neutral-ashy blonde (but my hair tends to pull ashy quite easily). Since it's semi permanent, it's likely to fade. As long as the gold color clings longer I should be fine (gold generally does hold out longer, since people always complain about brassiness when their toners fade lol). Once it fades? My plan is just continue what I've been doing, shadow roots on myself to blur the growth line, and keeping my lengths some shade of natural looking blonde ToT.

Anyway I'm so fucking impressed with the clairol advanced grey semi permanent line. 1. They work fine on actual grey (or ashy as all hell greenish/bluish hair) 2. They can therefore ADD gold back into hair (or add reds if you fucked up and turned a brown color super ashy). This is great cause very few products can add warmth back in. (Before this, pink dye was literally the only thing I'd ever tried that managed to add gold back in). 3. You can control the light/darkness of the outcome by adding conditioner when mixing, just like if it was a rainbow color like pink. (For example I used 6G and 6N, but with conditioner I lightened them to a level 8 blonde. And for the test strands I did level 9 lightness). It's rare I've seen the ability to control lightness with dyes that come in natural shades. 4. They come out true to color. I got pretty much exactly what was promised on the bottle. The 6G dominant mixture I made gave me a solid Golden Blonde (level 8 with the conditioner mix). The 6N only mixture with conditioner I did later gave me a fairly neutral level 8 blonde (my hair pulled slightly ashy because my bleached hair has less gold than normal hair lol but still overall fairly neutral). I can say the color came out very close to the color of the conditioner mixture, just like if I was using a pink dye. 4. Very even coverage. This is good or bad depending on perspective. The good is I think it would provide good grey coverage by darkening grey hair to the surrounding hair color. The downside is I had an ombre and now its much less noticeable as the lighter hair was darkened... but it's a semi permanent so it'll fade. And the ombre will be clear again later lol.

Anyway, results:

Before dying, you can see it's white with pink bits, and very warm roots:

This is after the 6G, a little 6N, and conditioner mix (for 1 hour):

A much more natural looking color, way more blended. My roots are still a little darker as expected. But the result was a Bit too brassy for my liking in the sun. Still, adding gold was the goal so SUCCESS LOL

After the 6N conditioner mixture, 20 minutes:

In natural lighting, a bit less brassy. A bit more ashy, darkened my lengths a slight bit more. Quite happy with it though, as lengths are still slightly lighter and as it fades I'll preserve my highlights. My roots are still a touch brassy but 1 they're gonna be dyed over with regrowth in a couple months so not a big concern, and 2 it's my lengths over absorbing dye like crazy so like. Once the lengths are looking good, I can fuck with dying the roots whenever. The roots are likely to stay the same shade more or less, as the porous bleached hair fades faster. At least until it heals from enough protein treatments.

#my hairdying woes #hair #hairdye #hair dye #so. clairol advanced grey semi permanent is GREAT if u fucked up and turned ur hair #white/grey/silver/green grey/blue grey #truly until this? peach or sushi lime #crime hair dye was the only thing i had found that could add gold back in #also blonde is so. touchy #i try to trust salons then blonde fuxks up anyway cause blonde is finicky like that #so its like. fuck it i might as well do it myself so it costs 30 or less to tweak until it looks right

This would be the first time I actually legit dye my hair (I have done colored hair wax before though). I intend to purposely not bleach my hair because I like the subtle effect my wax has on my hair color, and I have to be mindful of how bright/distracting it is for my job.

My hair is extremely long. I think if I grow it another inch it will be lower than my shirt. It is a short skirt tho. My hair is like 30 something inches. I really want to dye it pink but I’m scared the dye will kill my hair

Okay so my hair is actually pink right now. Now the actual pink dye won't harm your hair as long as it's semi permanent and doesn't stain. Trust me you want a dye that will wash out in a few weeks. Dyes that stain are a pain to work with. For me the best dyes are lime crime, manic panic, and ion. arctic fox is okay but the undertones make using them hard. Also good dye Young that's in my hair now but I heard the pink stains but it hasn't for me cause I dilute it. Now the damaging part is lightening your hair for the right base. You can use bleach or permanent high lift dye. I personally prefer highlift dye. But only because my hair can't handle bleach. But a permanent dye is perfect if your hair is porous, lighter or thin. . But if you have stubborn thick dark hair bleach might be the best. Now what shade of pink are you looking for. Hot pink you don't have to lift your hair too light like when it's still a really brassy orangey color you can do hot pink. Medium tone bubblegum pink like if it's yellowy then bubble gum pink would work. Pastel pink the hardest pink, your hair has to be platinum blonde. I've only achieved this color three times. So even without bleach it's achievable just takes patience. As long as you condition your hair, don't over process it, take good care of it, your hair should be fine. But if you can, finding a stylist will really help preserve the health of your as well.
