Pink Hurr Don't Currrr

Okay, so now that my corporate job search is over and I've settled into my post-grad life a little, I dyed the ends of my hair pink.  I've been getting a lot of compliments, so I thought I'd show you how I did it! (blurred my face out because I'm awkward...like really, what kind of face do you make? I'm not smiling for a selfie)


First, part your hair how you normally would, and then braid it in pigtails.


Next, rub the dye thoroughly through the selected portions of your hair.  Make sure you get the whole area up by the elastic, it can be tricky.  I recommend using rubber gloves so that you don't dye your hands as well.  This girl also recommends Hot Hot Pink Manic Panic because it's semi-permanent and goes on very easily.


Alright, then you wrap the parts you're coloring in tin foil and let it chill for about 25 minutes or so.  Then, if desired for extra intensity, you can heat the ends with a blow dryer for a few minutes.


Last, rinse the dye out with cold water.  It's going to take a little while, but you can wash your hair normally after (note: dye may still rinse out slightly for the next few washes).

 

Voila! And shoutout to my girl Kelly.


Let me know if you have any questions about the process; I'm more than willing to share more tips! :)

Peace, Love, & Fashion.
