My proper lilac(finally!)

Well, my hair is fried. It would NOT agree with me no matter WHAT I did.
My first go at directions was a disaster, I had two people applying the dye, one on either side and I ended up with giant leopard like white spots. My friend bleach bathed my hair with different volumes on different parts to even it up, then we applied a demi-perm Rusk lilac, it didn't take. I kpak'ed and coconut oiled for two weeks and it washed out to a complete platinum blonde. We tried the rusk again and it took but quickly went pink. So one full bleaching, one BB and two 6 or 7% dev. dyes.
I said I was going to give it ONE more shot and I did, I used a diluted Punky Colour violet. Put it on my head myself. Thankfully my hair grows super fast so I'll have the damage gone by Christmas more than likely/hopefully. I gave up on dying my extensions, I just couldn't get them to turn out. I tried brushing the dye on, using my hands to put it on, I tried just throwing them in a big bowl with a bunch of dye saturating them and leaving them there, it just wasn't happening.

Here is the best representation of the colour:

Hwaiting!

"Gotcha Lilac!"

Hair attack!

Sorry I look kind of crappy, one of my kitties died night before last, I've been crying hysterically on and off since. Doing pretty much anything I can to keep my mind off it.

Thank you :). My other kitties are very upset, it was very sudden and I found her in a horrible way. She'd been ill but was on the mend, she was a teacup so any weight lost was a huge burden on her system and her little heart just gave out. I'd been feeding her by hand every day several times and she was with me every second I was home, the break in routine makes me miss her that much more. I miss having her right next to me all the time and feeding her when she looked at me with her doofy little face that said "I want noms!".

I used a conditoner called "bee natural" to dilute along with a giant bottle of "Down Under" and my boyfriend went absolutely bonkers over the smells! He loves anything grape scented or flavoured. It was nice to get such a reaction after doing something that could have possibly gone so wrong.
