I have pink hair. I think most of you are aware of that by now. Like my entire head is Hot, Hot, Pink. Now there are a lot of pros and cons to having hot pink hair. Let's start with the cons first.
- Cons: You stick out like a sore thumb. Bleach kills your hair. People find your obnoxiously bright hair a conversation starter and sometimes use it as an opening to be extremely perverse and obscene. I find that people I never would think would like my hair, give me compliments on it. I'm always being asked how I get my hair this color. People always think my hair is a wig and try to pull my hair out of my head. Please stop, it really hurts my scalp. The dye gets everywhere.
- Pros: My mom hates it. I stick out like a sore thumb. I find myself in conversations I never thought I would. I find that people I never would think would like my hair, give me compliments on it. It makes me new friends. It makes me happy. It makes me feel like a real life Ramona Flowers, and I like that. I enjoy the act of bleaching and dying my hair. My mom hates it.
Now as I said before I get asked a lot about what kind of products I use when dying my hair. So I'm going to tell you all here what I use and what not. I'll also leave links to where you can buy the products as well. I get all my supplies from Sally's, if you don't have a Sally's near you I'm sure your local beauty supply shop will carry these products or something similar to them.
Disclaimer: I am NOT a professional cosmetologist. I only went to to school for like 2 weeks before I decided that I could never do hair for a living. I did rock the shit out of color theory. I would have been a sick colorist. Anyway, moving on... These are just the products that I find work best for me, they might not be the ones that work best for you. Bleach kills your hair, blah, blah, blah.
