Ok heres my time line. Unfortunately I dont have a back view yet, but you can sorta see how its turned out. Im really surprised how much the roots are fading just day by day between washes tho.
My Original Colour
Faded.
After Colour B4.
After XXL Platinum bleach.
After Hi-Octane Orange on top and Atomic Pink underneath.
And finally a back view!! It does show that its gone patchy, but no one has really commented on it.
My fringe faded, 6 weeks on.
Halloween about 6 weeks after colouring. It doesnt look it here, but it was still quite a strong orange colour. Im also standing right under the lightbulb.

Loving it! Looks gorgeous : D
Oooh looks lovely! π
Ok heres some more pics from when I bleached my hair. I was originally trying to even out the patchiness, but I really liked the yellow and pink contrast I got, so I've stayed that way for now.
Before bleaching I drenched my hair in coconut oil for a couple of hours. Its been 7 weeks since I last bleached my hair, as you can probably see from my roots. ;D
Then I whacked the bleach on on top of the coconut oil. It really helped the bleach uptake, it started working quicker and wasnt patchy this time, although my roots went almost white, where the Hi-Octane was it went a proper yellow, which gets more orangy down by the tips. Im not sure if this is remaining dye from when I was plum or whether its dye transfer from the Atomic Pink from underneath.
This is my hair straight after I dried it at night, so the light isnt the best.
And this is my hair in natural daylight, the day after. As you can see its rather yellow, but the pink has come out gorgeous. My roots are almost white. I was surprised that when I washed my hair the next few times after the bleach, more yellow came out! Its still quite yellow now, but it is paler.
Love the contrast!
looks amazing =)
