Today was National Abuse The Hell Out Of Your Hair Day.

I celebrated by bleaching the living daylights out of mine; I am now mostly blonde. There's some in the back that's kinda brown, and a lot of it is still somewhat blue from the tenaciously clinging blue dye that I had on one side. I also used Nair liberally on other body parts; yes, including those parts. I don't like being hairy.

Tomorrow I will continue my hair abuse by trying to turn much of my hair something akin to white. Blonde is too normal a color for me.

Been "whitening" my hair for... almost two years now. The problem is that if it's short... you have to keep cutting off the whitest bits. The other problem I have is that... my hair is so dark brown it's practically black. Roots, bloody roots!
Good luck! :)

I suspect I didn't bleach my hair enough for the white dye to really take effect. *sigh* I suspect by the end of today it'll end up getting dyed all blue or purple or something instead.

Blue or purple. I envy you - although I did have blue hair briefly for a while.

White dye? You mean... there's something to make it whiter after bleaching it to death?

It's odd... sometimes I go to my hairdresser and he does it, but it never gets quite *white.* Most times I have a friend come do my roots, it's cheaper and faster. But.... one gets what one pays for. I guess I'm "blonde" at this point.

Yeah, you can get dye that's a very faint blue. The theory is that you bleach your hair until it's a foul yellow-white, as far as you can go without having it turn to straw and fall off. Then you put this in; the faint blue counteracts the faint yellow, resulting in a very very pale cool grey.

If you dye your hair blue and let it fade for a while, you may see something akin to this effect.

I got a few places that were quite white, but I didn't bleach evenly enough, or long enough, for it to work all over. Ah well. Live and learn.

Thanks for the info. I have some horrid conditioner stuff that always turns my hair purpley when I use it... love it. Anyway. Don't beat y'self up over it... white hair is hard to get unless you are a pro!
