dip-dying hair.

this was what i did with chloe on the second last day of school haha.
WE DIP-DYED OUR HAIR WHILE DOING TOK ESSAY.

so first we went down to chinatown to get our dying hair supplies.



aluminium foil, towels, old shirts, toothbrush for stirring/applying dye (2 for $1), packets of bleach ($3.90 each), blue hair dye for chloe ($11.50), and red for me ($7.50).

i didnt take pictures anymore during the process cause things got a lil messy.
but it was really easy!
in the bleach package, there's gloves/tray/bleach powder/bleach lotion, all super easy to use.
okay i know the bleach looks damn dubious, with that kind of face and font, but i assure you its safe! at least we both survived bleaching our hair!
and its from korea lah

k so after mixing the bleach properly, separate your hair into sections.
using a piece of aluminium foil against one section of hair, (please wear gloves!) slather a generous amount of bleach on to wherever you want!
then wrap it up.

so at the end of doing this step, your head should look like this.




the sections are really up to you. you can divide your hair into just 3 if you like.
k then using a hair dryer heatup the aluminium foil. just keep heating for like the next 10 minutes or until you feel really hot and tired.



see our hot and tired faces.




k then whenever you feel like ready, probably after 15 minutes, remove the aluminium foils and rinse hair with water. this is what our hair looked like after bleaching twice.








and chloe loved her bleach hair so much that she decided to just live with it instead of doing blue!

but i still wanted to do red, so after drying my hair, i reapplied a generous amount of red dye.
and this was the result! super happy!










after the first wash, the hair still looked a little dark, and right now it's only the 3rd day after dye, so i wont know whether if the hair colour will fade or anything.


it looks a little more orangey in my room...




so good luck if you want to dip dye your hair!
it's really easy, just do it!
im still not sure if i love my red hair, it is very bright.
and also not sure if i'll dye it back next year for sch...

at most i just cut it off and i'll look like this!



also yes, we went to school on the last day like this haha.
hid our pony tails underneath our shirts for the whole day -___-
