you are so helpful!! that was SUCH a thorough response. thank you so much, beautiful goddess <3
You’re welcome <3!!!! You are so sweet :D <3 <3
<3 what brand of colors did you use? for a long time i've been thinking about lightening some so i can play with color, but i haven't used any type of chemicals on my hair in about 6 years, so it's kind of scary!
A variety depending on what kind of color you’re going for and how well you want it saturated! I would suggest against manic panic unless you want a hot pink or orange or pastelly colors. Special Effects makes fantastic purples,blues, orange, yellow and dark greens as well as all types of reds. Pravana Vivids makes great saturated colors, like high fashion stuff and if you want it very deep and rich like dark teal, dark violet, dark blue but i advise against their pinks and orange. In Europe stargaze and directions seem to be very popular, ive heard good things about their pastels as well as their purples…punky colour is good for blues and teals and greens but i’d advise against their violets and dark ashy colors. Scrupples recently came out with a line of bright colors as well however i’ve only used the green, it covers fairly well. Joico also has a bright color line the teal and green and yellow and orange and pink are very good but the purple is terrible. Avoid ColorJamz, Jazzing and Raw Colors at all costs. XD
eeeeee how did you do your rainbow dreadies?! i think i'd like to color a few of mine.
<3 Just how you’d color your hair normally! My hair lightens easily but I still have to bleach it in order to change the color, however i’m not sure how good dreads hold up after bleachings unless they’re mature already. Lighten ‘em with some 30 vol at the highest, then squish on whatever colors you’d like :) You don’t have to be as careful/accurate as you would with normal hair since they look awesome even when they’re blotchy. Mine are green, teal and purple but they faded into a bunch of gradients X3 If you happen to live in Chicago i’d be able to do it for you since i’m a hair stylist :D If you do end up coloring em i’d love to see!
