I've been dying my hair pastel purple for almost a year now. Pretty much since I changed from black to blonde.
Heres a photo of me smiling awkwardly over my delicious birthday brekkie last year.
I've been cutting and dying my own hair for years now. I've been through most of the colours in the hair rainbow. I cut, bleach and dye my hair in the privacy of my own bathroom, and like it that way. At least theres no-one else to blame when things go wrong.
Beginning with my bleach blonde hair, I take a small squeeze of Paintbox Dye in Purple Haze and a large squeeze of conditioner. Mixing the two together, I continue to add one or the other until I've found a colour I'm satisfied with. To test the colour, I take a piece of white paper and paint a small bit on. This shows the true colour of the dye, as it will hopefully look when the dying process is done.
Disclaimer: Be careful with the dye, as it stains everything. Everything!
Next, I take my brush (you can find a good hair dying kit at Priceline or Hairhouse Warehouse) and carefully paint onto my hair in the places where I want the dye. Most of the time, I just dye the top and fringe section.
After this point, I let it sit for around half an hour. As this dye is conditioner based, you can leave it in almost like a hair mask and instead of doing damage, it will leave your hair shiny and feeling refreshed.
Wash it out, and you're good to go.
A great trick to maintain the colour is to mix a little of the dye into your conditioner bottle. It makes the overall pastel shade last a long time, and on the rest of your blonde locks it tones the orange out.
