One thing I've realised since going pink, is that I need to plan ahead so that my hair is where I want it to be colour-wise at certain times! So thinking about my 'sun' holiday this year (1st one in 8 years!) - What do I need to do with my hair? I'm planning on doing roots & recolour this weekend coming (ready for NIN concert on 18th - yay!). It will then be 6 weeks til I go away. I want my hair to look ok on holiday, but a) I don't want to get banned from the pool for leaking pink dye into it, and b) I don't want to kill my hair with chlorine if I've recently bleached the roots.
So - how much does pool chlorine affect hair? And how long do you think I need to have not topped up the pink before my holiday to not be turning the pool pink?! Any advice / experiences welcomed.
I wouldn't top up the colour until afterwards. Sun, sea and swimming pools all really fade colour. The good news is that pinks usually fade to quite nice colours.
I would comb sun block through it whilst on the beach and slick it back.
