Nothing says, "I have a professional career" like purple and blue hair.
TomtheVisionary
I have a professional career and purple hair so suck it

I demand to talk to the manager. circa 2089

Typical comment about how it only looks good for a week
ThoseGams
Yeah i've struggled with finding gainful employment too
TomtheVisionary
I get dye jobs like this & have full time employment in a professional setting

Looks like something straight off tumblr fashion
offyerrocker
If tumblr is the only thing you associate with dyed hair you will not enjoy Berkeley. Or San Francisco. Really, anywhere in the CA Bay Area
5047
There's hair dyed unnatural colors and then there's tumblr. This falls under Tumblr
goawaypleasethankyou
I think it falls under "looks really cool but a bitch to maintain". Nothing to do with tumblr, don't pigeonhole people.
5047
Explains why majority of the people you ever see with this are the Tumblr dykes
VulgarGhost
"My head looks like the floor after a rave!" says the client. Just wait," the hairdresser replies.
YouThinkThatsBad
I don't see vomit of kids who ODd anywhere in this post.
AAntiHero
It's cool of done right. Shame most people are terrible.
Caspooky
Most people do it at home without a lot of prior knowledge, this person was smart and went to a specialist ( or is a specialist ). :P
ijustwanttoseewhatmyprizeis
I was initially not impressed. I was wrong
Randersuarus
This looks like Guy Tang's work!
seir
I used to do this to my hair and beard. Would need to repeat every 4 or so weeks. Did it myself so would usually bleach the roots 1/2
seir
& just randomly add the colour on top. Towards the end I just bleached everything. I have very dark hair & it was a lot of work. 2/2
DakotaMcKelley
@dakelle so sick

massiveluxuryoverdose
I'll have the rainbow sherbet
TheInternetNeedsMoreCats
I'd love to do this, but lightening my stark black hair to this level would destroy it to the point I'd have to shave my head :(
actuallyafool
So that's how they do dat
ishigoto
You went from Juggalo moneyshot to real-life Anime.
Chrisbronk
Much better dry. Never thought id ever say that.
NoSleepTilBrooklyn
I did something similar last year. It was impossible to maintain & looked like shit in less than a month. But it was pretty while it lasted.
RonaldoVeronesi
Fantastic!
RTMaday89
I call it the "switching majors".
VernonLamb
I was worried in the beginning. Now I'm not.
Enavi
But how do you rinse it without mixing the colors? Or washing?
OregonJane
Cold water
OregonJane
And hair color protecting shampoo
KoliRobben
Love it, im brightening mine up later today.
YouThinkThatsBad
How does wet purple dye sitting on top of lighter wet blue dye not bleed onto each other?
deirdrebeth
The dyes are surface dyes so they take time to dye...so the mixing that'd happen during rinsing isn't enough to really change anything.
Zahnradfee
There was probably tinfoil wrapped around each strand that they took off only right before the foto. And after the foto they rinsed the dye.
ImCranky
How much would something like this cost?
TomtheVisionary
Probably start @ $150 depending on the stylist
ImCranky
I was thinking much much more-that's not bad
TomtheVisionary
also depends on how much hair you have and if it has been processed before
bekreider
I'm getting a blue ombre done at the end of the month professionally and my girl told me it'd be $160
RinnelSpinel
I want a pic of a few months later when it's faded. I could never handle that much maintenance.
deirdrebeth
This isn't her hair, but it's similar colours at ~2 months of fade: https://imgur.com/q8QuVyj
TomtheVisionary
sometimes the colors will look even better after fading source: my awesome faded purple and pink
keeniemccormick
I love the colors and I would love to do something like this, but I hate how the blue fades to a sort of greenish color
darklordsaron
I had a blue that faded into pink. It was weird.
keeniemccormick
Otherwise, I'd actually like to get my hair done like this
keeniemccormick
My roommate in college had dyed blue hair and it would fade to this pale blondish-green. Not a fan of the way it fades
idratherbeonthebay
the maintenance on this kind of dye job must be insane...
sheshevra
considering it was probably done by some redneck named Wanda to some girl with daddy issues, i doubt it
dontmagpie
and in a week it will look like shit
AveryBerry
Basically monthly.
EnergyFiend
Colors like this fade to ugly in 2-3 weeks. No one is every going to find the lines here again to re-do it. This is a one-time expensive do.
EnergyFiend
I got my purple to last a month if I used sulfite-free shampoo & rinsed in Cold water. Sticks better after a year of the same color too.
FalseContext
Context: Top hair stylists suggest wrapping your head in cellophane with wet skittles for 2 hours. The food dye lasts longer.
swidster
You almost had me
texastwostep
Had me until i read this comment
HeyitsShay
I was saved from a most embarrassing mistake...
Everythinghentai
Although, I want skittles now
ericagxxxx
Getting it blonde enough is the hardest part. A lot of times these are all day projects
Astrolobos
I have gorgeous long curly hair, for a man, and I can't imagine doing anything to damage it since I don't style it as it is
zerohunter
I have something similar- you wash very quickly with ice cold water and colour safe shampoo. Touch ups are a bitch.
HorseMcFucker
Seen crazier:![]()
Florxnog
Oh no! Well done cosplays of a genre I don't like! Must. Downvote. Now!
VioletLovesYou
Aren't those cosplays of Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash?
BishopofHippo93
Are those not wigs?
HorseMcFucker
Nope.
missmaryMACKMACKMACK
yeah, they're wigs.
zerohunter
They are, potentially from Arda wigs if I had to guess.
lewdloos
They definitely are, look at the scalp (or the lack thereof) and the hair parting to hide it.
JohnnySummertime
I have a similar dye job, its really not hard to keep up.
w4nder3r
Expensive?
JohnnySummertime
My mother is a hairdresser, so not particularly.

Fair enough. I forgot.
imhereforthemusic
Well, can we see?
JohnnySummertime
If I hadn't chopped it all off a year ago.
roxy12
This is almost exactly how I have my hair and I have to redo it every 5 weeks or so. Not too bad really.
Cynistera
How much does it cost?
roxy12
I use 4 different dyes. Each tub costs less than £3 and does 3-4 applications per tub. I also had to bleach my hair to start (£7)...
roxy12
... and I bleach my roots with every new application (using half a kit every time, so £3.50 average per application)...
roxy12
brushes/bowls cost about £1 per set ages ago, conditioner to dilute the dye is also £1 every 3 applications or so. Plus tinfoil & clingfilm.
lily10110
I've been rainbow colors and just "natural" red. My natural red always comes out faster.
DeusExSpockina
Henna ftw.
icekraze
Red will always come out faster than other colors because it is a large dye molecule.
minizeries
My stylist told me this this weekend, and about how that's why it requires more ammonia, and I was fascinated.
lily10110
Yeah. My sister told me that. I just thought it was weird because I already had an orange tint due to mineral build up in our water.
cinemeasctha
Do you use permanent, semi or vegetable colours for the colours?
roxy12
I use semi-permanent conditioning dye (La Riche Directions is my favourite colour)
roxy12
sorry, is my favourite dye* haha
YouTasteLikeABurgerIDontLikeYouAnymore
i'm a pravana user. my hair is kind of like this right now too.
BodyshotBill
post a pic
roxy12
Not sure that would add much, you won't be able to tell how much maintenance it needs from that :D
imafirestartertwistedfirestarter
But it will show how well maintained it is! (also I just love looking at pictures of pretty dyed hair)
roxy12
Haha, fair enough. Well when I said "almost exactly", instead of a pale blue and a pale green I use a deeper blue and a turquoise:
SerpentQueen
I've done some crazy shit with my hair, it's only a matter of time until I do this. Not exactly this though, looks too pony. But similar.
ManBeastWomanThing
If you do, post a pic of it.
SerpentQueen
I'll try to remember to show you, but I don't think I'd post it to user sub :b
EnergyFiend
There's no way this can be upkept. No one would be able to find the exact lines of each color. I only have 2 colors & it takes forever & $$$
susannahdeanofnewyork
Stay golden Pony...girl?
WhenYouMissoutOntheCoolUsernames
You realize people have dyed their hair crazy colors before MLP. Dem hair dye hipsters.
SerpentQueen
sure, but nowadays using those colors looks like ponies, which is why I wouldn't do it now.
ScarletteDream
Too Pony? Why do you say that like it's a bad thing.
Gonnaderpya
Found the Brony
FaceDownButtUp
You should go to therapy
ladyeaterofbacon
Waaaay too pony. Das some brony shit
PandraPierva
Hmm CALLING @vlexiswantstorapeponies he'll tell us
SerpentQueen
yeah exactly. It took me a minute to realize why I didn't like the colors and then I realized.... I would do something with red 5 sure
jezzinmypants
God I want to do crazy colors with my hair but I am not looking forward to the massive bleach damage it will cause.
SerpentQueen
True. I rarely do things that require bleach, but without the bleach, it fades muuuuch quicker. But yeah I don't like damaging it too much
jezzinmypants
My hair is super dark so you can't even see it if I don't bleach it first.
SerpentQueen
:/ the struggle. My hair is faily light. My sister is straight up blonde so she can do soooo much
madamvastra
That's why I don't. My hair is fine, soft, and very dark. I'm sure the bleach would wreck it. But pretty colors tho. :(
jezzinmypants
I agree. I look at pictures sometimes and just sigh. One day I'll do it just because I have to at least once. Maybe when I'm gray lol
hoofbeatsandsnowflakes
I use Henna on my hair, because it's good for it. But I'm also blond so it shows up really well.
serenityaerin
Don't put bleach on it now that you've hennaed it. Smoke mike be the outcome as the chemical reaction could set your hair on fire.
hoofbeatsandsnowflakes
Yeah I've heard that I don't plan on using any chemicals on it ever my hair would probably fall out anyway if I ever bleached it henna or no
Gonnaderpya
I wish I could do some crazy shit with my hair :|
SerpentQueen
you can! do eeeeeht
Gonnaderpya
Dudes don't get to get away with quite as much cool shit chicks do
SerpentQueen
ohh I see. Just live vicariously through me then :b
Gonnaderpya
That's what I tend to do lol
