So then I went to another salon later to have that bleached streak dyed blue...and NONE of it would stay. It would just rinse out. :/ Even though it was bleached.
Last month I went to dye my hair black for a cosplay at Comic-Con. I used a semi-permanent because I didn't think I really needed a permanent. It washed right out.  I did it a second time and just tried not to wash my hair much until the cosplay.
My hair is made of Teflon. D:
edit: Oh and you're lucky, my parents (especially my mom) was really mean about people who dyed their hair/had piercings etc. I pierced my nose in college (I was over 18 and everything) and my mom threw a temper tantrum any 2 year old would be proud of. -_- |
That's crazy!! Is your hair really porous and can't hold color, or just very healthy and resistant to damage? Either way, it's too bad that you don't get to keep whatever you do for more than a day
Your mom sounds kind of like my grandmother, except my grandmother is less temper tantrum and more rude lol. It doesn't bother me, really, but seriously, every time I do a different color, she asks "Oh, KRISTI. WHAT did you do to your head? I liked it the old way so much better..."
I just ignore her mostly.

Aw
you shouldn't worry about looking ridiculous. If it makes you happy, go for it! That's a pro of hair color, you can go COMPLETELY different from your normal shade and love it. I say as long as you want it and think it'll look good, go for it
And thanks to everyone for the nice compliments! You guys are too sweet =)
