getting rid of black hair

GOING BLONDE FROM BLACK

ok. so i was dying my hair from black to white. im still working on it. ill post some pictures for every one to see. so in this picture my hair was black. i lovemy black hair but i got tired of it. and i wanted to change to blue.

so i used "color oops" i got it from walgreens for around $12. it turned it dark brown. like chocolate brown. i was happy with it for a little while. but i wanted it to be lighter.

so after a bout a week, i was frustrated and wanted my hair pure white. but i knew that if i bleached it, it would be spotty. every one should know that. so then i went and bought "color fix" i must say, this stuff smells so bad. it is like if you have a well, like if you live outside of a city and they dig a well and put a pump thingy on it so your house gets water to it and the water smells like sulfer. thats exactly what it smells like. sulferwater. which smells like rotten eggs. but i think it smells worse. anywho, so i used that and left it on for as long as the directions say. it says you can dye your hair right afterwards but if your doing it to fix a haircolor mess up i wouldnt do it right after. and it doesnt lighten your hair to the original color. it shrinks the dye molecules or what ever they call them(cant think of the word) and if you add peroxide which is in box dyes or mixing dyes then it makes the molecule expand again and will cause your color you want to be darker than it should. so if you really have to dye your hair afterwards i would wait till the day after you use this stuff or 2 days and then use a hair dye a shade to 2 shades lighter so that it comes out the way you want it to. oh and do not use the "lotion" stuff that comes in the kit. it causes your hair to be darker than youd like. but over all this is good stuff to use it just smells bad and your hair smells bad for like 2 days. especially if you sweat or your hair gets wet.

so then i was still unsatisfiyed with the color. it was a bit darker than the picture above(couldnt find a pic of what it looked like after the "color fix")

so i went to CVS and got "born blond" that stuff is amazing. though when i used it it was like grainey type. like the stuff didnt mix well. but i mixed it for a long time and it still didnt do anything it still felt grainy. so i put it on my hair anyway. it worked really good. my roots turned real bright blonde almost white but with a yellow-y tint to it. and the darker parts were much much lighter. i was very pleased. it wasnt all one color though. it was sort of like white-ish blond roots (which were like 3 or 4 inches long) then the dyed parts were orangey brown. but more orange. kind of like a bright copper color. looked rather cool to me.

so then i waited about a month and bought born blond again because my brown roots started to show and it looked really bad to me. so i bleached it again. and it got lighter this time. im ok with the orangy look now. it looks kind of even like its fading into darker. but what ever i like it. =) i put "virgin snow" by manic panic to get rid of some of the yellow tint. it worked very well. the yellow on the bright parts turned white. im very happy with this.

so yea. now i just wait till i am able to bleach it one more time and ill dye it blue =)
