Hey did I tell you? I dyed my hair blue a couple of weeks ago! I love it...but wow it sure is a lot more maintenance than when I just had the chunk of pink underneath my blonde hair. As my roots are growing in, it's a super "HELLO roots". Can't really hide normal colored roots when your hair is crazy blue.
Of all the brands of dye I've tried...Manic Panic, Special Effects, Fudge, etc, I've found that Jerome Russell Punky Colour lasts the longest and has the most vibrant colors. And it seems to be the cheapest, about $7 a tub. Oh, and it smells like grape scented markers.
I'm really entertained by all of the strange reactions I get in the food store and general public too. That might be my favorite part of the whole dying experience. Little old ladies look at me like I'm from another planet and I can't help but giggle.
