I really want to bleach my hair and color it all lavender/light purple. I have pale skin with cool undertones and freckles with medium length hair. I used to bleach my hair all the time until I finally cut it all off and let it grow out... that was 3 years ago. Since then I've had a special relationship with keeping my hair healthy, as I'm sure whoever is reading this does as well. Honest opinions... can I pull it off? And if I do then what can I do to save my bleached then colored hair? Btw, I plan on using Manic Panic because it has conditioners in it. Does anyone know if MP is damaging to hair in any way? Thanks for any help! Also, thoughts on lavender hair?

I love lavender hair, you can definitely pull it off! Just make sure you bleach your hair slowly and don't use too high of a developer. I've had lavender hair a few times. I highly recommend using the die called 'directions'

it is MUCH better than manic panic. the darker the purple you get, the longer the dye will last you since you're diluting it with conditioner anyways. It doesn't matter what conditioner you use.. just make sure that it already has a white or purple hue to it. You can even mix a tiny bit of dye in with your conditioner that you are going to use in the shower and create a toning conditioner to refresh your hair every time you wash it.
After you dye it, you may want to trim any split ends and jsut keep doing what you're already doing to maintain healthy hair. High quality conditioners, masks, oils, serums, being extra careful when you brush it, braid it when you sleep.. biotin has also helped my hair out a lot.

I have purple hair right now, and although it's not lavender, it's kinda the same! I noticed it fades kind of fast, so what I've been doing lately is using a little Castor Oil in my hair while I condition it. It really helps to keep the color. I haven't dyed my hair in like a month and it's still pretty vivid! Just be sure to not use a lot- it makes your hair super greasy if there's too much haha

Manic Panic fades super fast for me, if you have Paintbox wherever you live I recommend that - works wonders for me :)
Ps i think you'd look great lavender :D x
