Pink and Purple Ombre

Feb 8, 2014

Basically the steps I took were:

1. Place selected hair on tin foil
2. Paint the pink on the top while feathering so there's not a blunt line
3. Paint the purple on the bottom while feathering the pink into the purple to make it look more "natural"
4. Continued those steps until all desired hair was covered
5. Left on for about 4 hours
6. Rinsed with **COLD** water (warm and hot makes the color molecules expand which is what causes bleeding and fading)
7. Applied conditioner with a purple hue (I believe it was shimmer lights) **NO SHAMPOO** and rinsed again with cold water.
8. Towel dried, blot the ends, don't rub. Blow Dried to set the color in better.

And there you go! :)

Also is best to only wash your hair every 4 days to a week if you can and only use cold water... you'll notice the less you wash your hair the more your hair doesn't really need it... dry shampoos are best though if you have greasy hair but still want a vibrant hair color for a longer amount of time.

Her hair stayed this vibrant of a color for 2 months while listening to these steps... until she decided to dye it again.

Hope this helps!! :)
