SFX Nuclear/ Candy Apple red mix!

After 6 weeks of trying to fade my candy apple red (which lasted better than any colour I've ever tried, even those that were supposed to be permanent! ) I gave up and bleach bathed it at the weekend.
I did the bleach bath for 45 mins and came out with very blonde roots (my natural colour is dark mousey blonde ) and yellowy ginger lengths (I tried to do a before photo but it didn't come out very clear ).

For my colour I mixed (roughly, I didn't measure ) 2 parts Nuclear red to 1 part candy apple red (both special effects dye ) and came out with the exact red I've been trying for!  😀 super bright but still with a bit of depth. I had a bit of a problem where it didn't take to the 'baby hair' at my hairline but I mixed the same ratio of colours into my conditioner and that seems to have rectified it.

I was really pleased with the coverage I got from the colour, it's really even despite my hair having orange, pink and yellow bits after the bleach bath.

Anyway here's a piccie so you can see for yourselves, I'm really happy with it and I think I'll be sticking with this colour for a while...
