Puerkz - My boyfriend HATES green, but he loves my hair, he thinks the shades are spot on. ^-^ I was surprised when I found out he likes it.

Akina - It absolutely does. I love Iguana but it's just a smidge too dark, and I love spring Green but I don't really like the neon colours on me, and mixing them together makes this beautiful slice of green heaven. xD Bright, long lasting. Perfect. <3

The wash was a tiny bit awkward. I couldn't find any foil or cling film when I dyed my hair, so I just pinned my hair around the part to keep the two colours away from each other, then made two buns on top of my head and pinned those, and waited for the dye to dry up around the parting.
Then I wrapped my hair in a towel, placed a towel on the pillow, and went to bed. It felt like a miracle that the colours hadn't mixed at the back. xD

But yeah, I'm explaining all that because that means when I washed it 80% of my hair was pretty stiff from the dried up dye.

At first I tried leaning over the bath and just rinsing off one half starting from the back. It was difficult and messy, so I just hopped in the shower.
Pouring water on the back halves of my head, I washed the green side, rinsed my hand, then washed the orange side. After that I really really really carefully washed my fringe. I went blind from water running in my eyes at least five times. xD

I didn't shampoo it or anything, I just rinsed and rubbed around with my fingers to help shift the drier parts, which weren't really dry anymore from the shower but still pretty stubborn, until the bath wasn't alarmingly green or orange anymore.

Washes might be difficult for a little bit, I don't want to risk mudding up the colours, but it's soooo worth it. πŸ™‚

Yeah, I think that's really worth it.

About the green I still think the same. Iguana pure is a bit to dark and spring only to neon but both together are absolutely the truest green I've ever seen.
And, funny thing too, my husband even don't like green hair, but this he said is really amazing. It's greener than everything you can see in nature he said ^^

Sounds a bit exhausting... So it's better that I have only two green shades, because honestly for this I would be to lazy and don't have the time to.

Also the combo with the fringe is really nice to see.

How do people react if they see you?
This side effect of having bright hair colours I also like...
These peoples faces with their eyes which getting bigger with every step they come closer to you and their faces, which are like an open book  so you can  read their thoughts *haha* xD

It is a lot of fuss. It's the most fuss I've ever had, actually. For me, anyway. Most people would say my rainbow was a lot of effort, but I enjoyed doing all that, whilst the washing for this hair was just a big faff and I didn't want to do it. xD
The rainbow was surprisingly just no fuss, slap it on, rinse it out, tada.

I'll keep you guys updated on how it fades if I can! I'm nervous/interested to see what happens to this. πŸ™‚

I don't know how people are going to react to this hair specifically, but I usually get a lot of attention. Ironically I don't really like it, but it's still super adorable whenever a young child yells "OH MY GOD A MERMAID/PRINCESS/FAIRY!" when they see me. :>
It's creepy when people stare at me, with literal open mouths.
I've had one woman ask for a photo, which was awkward but flattering, and other people have asked me how I did it and if it's a wig.
Sometimes I'll get ignorant morons yell 'witty' insults/comments my way. By 'witty' I mean really really dumb stuff that I've already heard a thousand times over.

I think someone already called me the carrot fairy or something like that. xD
I can't wait to see what creative names the general public comes up with when I walk past. πŸ˜›

I particularly like the placement of the colours- it's an awesome twist on a cruella πŸ™‚

Fruity is one way to describe it! πŸ™‚ It was kind of what I was going for. I didn't realise that green and orange were also halloween colours, though, so I feel like a total fail on that one. xD

Yess, Android. ^_^ I didn't want a regular cruella but I didn't want to go too insane with the placement because I'm aware that they're likely to get yucky if they bleed at all.

Once again, thanks you guys! <3

I know what you mean.

Excluded the little time - it was only a month and a half - I had violet and black hair, I had green hair since last christmas now.
I can't hear it anymore when people say: look, there's a martian.  *ott*
That isn't funny to me even if it sounds like.
My husband calls me like that every day...
He's lucky that he is my husband, otherwise....  *whip* -r-

But yesterday there was a little girl at the ice cafe - only 3 or 4 years old - who said, oh, your hair is green, was that magic? ^^
People often ask me how I did it and which colour I used but never asked for a photo  *rofl* this sounds really awkward and creepy.
Don't know how I would react if that ever happens  *puzz*
