It says it's Henna on the website? I can't find it O.o
Or do you mean about the bleaching?
It didn't really take anyways. My hair is a mess of brown and blue weirdness, and my roots look virgin (even though I pre-softened them with peroxide)
And now I have a headache and feel like I'm about to puke, unsure if that has to do with the stuff but I don't think I will ever use it again :/
Oh yes, here's the ingredients for that dye from their website:
Algin, Cassia Auriculata Leaf Powder, Indigofera Argentea (Indigo) Leaf Powder, Indigofera Tinctoria (Indigo) Leaf Powder,
Indigofera Tinctoria Leaf Extract, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder,
Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Extract, Lawsonia Inermis (Henna) Extract /
Lawsonia Inermis (Henna) Leaf Powder, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
Did my root retouch today and have had my dye on for the past 3 or 4 hours, about to rinse it off! Used a little bit of each of some leftovers: Conditioner with Rose Red, Atomic Pink, a teeny bit of the last of my Virgin Rose, Hot Hot Pink, Pravana Pink and Pravana Violet, I added more Violet this time.
I've got a head of coconut oil right now, ready for a bleach bath later.
After years of bleaching to have atomic pink or cherry bomb, and eventually white my hair was pretty fried. I had no idea about silicones until I found this forum so I was doing untold damage to my hair but not realising. Ive had natural hair for a few months (medium blonde) now Im getting the itch to go pink again!
Since my hair is in much better condition since Ive gone silicone-free and laid off the straighteners I feel like it can cope! π
Using Pravana silver heavily diluted to get a light silver. Because the mixture is purple, I have no idea what it'll come up like.
Super happy with how my hair turned out!!
Strand testing old Alpine Green over my blue faded Plum...
Doing roots, nearly time to wash off the bleach
CC Peacock Blue on! I haven't leached my roots because I'm not supposed to put strong chemicals n my scalp for a while so just the lengths and ends. This haircut is amazing though - I used less than a bottle. Used to take more than two tubs of Directions plus conditioner to get me covered!
Pravana Silver faded quite fast, it probably didn't help that I showered a lot because it's cold and nothing like a good hot shower to get warm again. Dyed my hair yellow (Directions Bright Daffodil), which came out nice enough, but I don't like how it looks on me at all.
So right now I have the majority of my hair covered in Directions Mandarin, with the front part still yellow and I'm curious to see how it'll look. π
And once I have pictures of that, I'll have had all colours in my hair at some point. Woo!
Also, the ends of my hair are in horrid condition, I'm making an appointment to chop off lots of it, so my hair will feel nice again. ^^
Debating what to do with my hair. It's finally time to bleach it again, but I dunno whether to do a bleach bath or full on. Most likely going to bleach bath
Currently have directions white toner on my hair. I didn't quite have enough for all my hair so I had to make up some extra with violet and conditioner. My first time making my own toner so hope it turns out ok.

Rij, interesting to hear you say that! Mine was due for a touch-up this weekend as well, after about a month or so. The last couple weeks, I started to stretch my shampoos, so I hope that routine will help the Pravana Silver stick a bit longer, as that's the colour I plan to keep for now! And a little of that stuff goes a long way.
Can't wait to see pictures of your new colour!
Maybe it's a hairdye that sticks better for some people and not that good for others (like manic panic)? I loooooved the colour, but was super impatient to try yellow so I didn't redye. It was near white when I put yellow on top, so it faded fast. But I did shower every other day and I don't like to shower without washing my hair. I also don't co wash or whatnot, so my choice of shampoo doesn't help my hair colour either (lush solid shampoo bars).
I hope the dye doesn't fade that fast for you, Alexia! Doing your hair every few weeks can get annoying (if it's the same colour).
Directions mandarin is looking really red, haha. It looked red in the tub too, but I didn't bother to dilute, so it'll probably go really orange after a few washes. Though the indoor lighting picture shows it orange, with daylight it looks red.
Daylight.
Lamp light.
You can see how ugly my ends are. I haven't let it cut in ages, so they'll be chopped off in two days. I can't wait!
wow that really does look red in the first pic. crazy! I love the two tone though π
