there were streaks that were fading warmer so I now kind of have some subtle, unintentional sunset/twilight hair thing going on. So my hair and the dye in it had to go through a lot.Īfter all that, my hair was still pretty vibrant. I also forgot to bring my color-safe shampoo. Hence, I had been taking hot showers everyday during our 5day stay there.

Our island adventures wrapped up around 6pm so the weather turns reaaaaaaaally cold. Provided, it had to endure sun, sea and the rigorous shampooing needed to rinse out the sea water and sand out of my hair. So I dyed my hair during December 23rd and by the 28th, I was on an island vacation. But those had taken the most beating when I was going blonde. I thought I had to have white hair to get that kind of exact result! It pulled bluer on the tips of my hair. It looked just like the color I had mixed. The color turned out much more vivid than I expected. I sat reading some fanfiction on my laptop for about 2 hours, and decided to rinse it off. After using it all up, I combed the stuff through my strands. My hair was naturally thin so than was enough to cover all of it. So I sectioned my hair, starting from the bottom and slathered the stuff on. It seemed I did not have it anymore but I wanted no risks of whacked results. I had dabbled with the Wella toners, for my brief grey and silver adventure. I have been shampooing it a lot prior to dyeing to get any products leftover out of it. My base was a level 9 blonde hair with some ends that are (almost) level 10. I mixed a ratio of 3tbsps Purple Rain + 1.5 tbsp Poseidon into half a cup of the 60 second hair treatment. I started of by shampooing my hair and drying it off. I can use it almost daily without my wallet crying. And again, as a stingy creature, a 680g tub of effective treatment for $3.30? I love the stuff. It is thick in the tub but smooths into hair nicely. It was also specifically for damaged hair. I picked out my 60-second hot oil hair treatment as a diluter because it had only 7 ingredients in it, including the parfum and water. And my hair smelled that way for about 2 days after dyeing. You can smell it without opening the bottle. They both diluted and mixed well into my hair treatment. Provided, I live in a tropical country and what I define as cold is probably just nice weather for some people here. But probably because it was really cold during the time. Poseidon was not green based at all like I feared it would be. Purple Rain was warmer and darker than I expected. I wanted my Blurple hair before going to my relatives for the holidays. I just did not want to be blonde anymore. But alas, I would have to wait by February. I had been blonde for half a year and did some silver and grey in between that time as I waited for the stuff to be in stock. But the shades from other brands were out of stock for quite some time by then. I chose the shades Purple Rain and Poseidon in 8oz and decided to just mix it into the Blurple I wanted. I did a lot of research and browsing through Arctic Fox's facebook page to see results on actual people and made up my mind. It was the cheapest dye from my supplier and the stingy person in me was mesmerized by how economical their 8oz bottles were. So after a lot of struggle on purchasing a purple dye, I settled on Arctic Fox.
