My faded Directions turqoise - suggest a dip dye combo?

Hey you lot, it's been a while because I've kept the same 'do for a while now! It's a bit of a pain bleaching my roots, they often need a couple of goes or leave patches because I'm naturally dark ginger, so I have a lot of red to get out. Anyhow:

Then:

Now:

I do love it, and I keep it this pale colour now, buuut...like all of us...I'm getting a bit bored with it.

At first I thought about going for the dip dye kinda look with a natural light brown from my roots to the mid lengths, but I have no idea how to get a natural looking colour over bleached hair.

I'm wary of black because it never comes out, and I don't want to do pink, I'm just not a pink kinda gal. You lot are a creative force to be reckoned with, ANY IDEAS LOVELIES?  :-*

Ooh it looks lovely!

If you want a brown look, try a semi in an auburn shade--the red tones should counteract the green from the turquoise.

Ooor a pale purple would look lovely with it, too.

Love the pale colour! I've never fancied trying blues but this looks great! I might have to try it.
I agree that a pale purple would be great. I fancy a purple dip dye once my pink has faded a bit.

The fade is a lovely color, maybe try enchanted forest/tropical green 😀

Purple sounds lovely and should take fine as soon as you've faded the green enough. I'd be interested to know what you're going to use if you go for the brown roots to lighter ends option. Let us know what you end up doing 😉

Thankyou for the advice, but being as I'm lazy,  I decided dip dyes were too complicated so I did this:

I sorta liked it but I'm just not a pink person so it felt weird. Shame. It faded quickly and hideously and did NOT suit me, BEHOLD, and do try not to burn yourself on my extreme hotness:

And finally, after yearning for black back for ages but kinda thinking 'I spent so much time and money getting rid of it...uh...should I?', I DID. Semi permanent, but I know, I know, it'll never come out.  But I left a big enough chunk to play with. At the moment it's kinda grey. Tasty!

Don't know what to do with it next! I am looking forwards to having low maintenance hair for a while now, until I get bored again. Orange next I think! I feel a bit more free to experiment now I have a bob. When I was trying to grow it I was super concerned about damage etc...screw that, I'll just get a weave! Ha! 😀

Aww, the pink was darling, but this black/blonde combo is seriously striking!

Thanks lovelies! I buy eyelashes and eyeliner in vast quantities from ebay! You can get a pack of 10 pairs for less than you pay for one pair on the high street. I go through a lot, as you can see, without makeup people would run screaming, ha.

I love your fringe! How do you get it like that?

Some awesome shades. I've been bigging up black and white in the Inspiring styles thread loads, it's always ace to see them on forum people! I loved the pale green on you too. It seems like you suit any colour!
