So! I dyed my hair with Creative Image Adore hair dye in Forest Green and, later, Purple Rage. Here are my experiences:
first time:
second time:
I just dyed the purple over the brown, but there were some bleached streaks left over from ages ago. (You can see those in the first-time picture, as well as tons of other pics of me here.) It turned a lovely pinkish bright raspberry purple on the bleached bits and gave the rest of my hair a really pretty almost auburn-y shine.
The green is much darker this time, probably because I rinsed it in achingly-cold water! I'm so impressed with this brand of dye. I'd never heard of it before but it's given me fantastic results.
My thoughts on it after using another color and a second time:
- I wish the bottles were designed differently. It's messy. They've got a sort of push-top design, like this: http://i1.ebayimg.com/05/i/001/2d/fc/6687_1_sbl.JPG And so the dye gets all over the bottle.
- The green is fairly thin and liquidy. The purple is thick, like hair gel. They seem to soak into the hair at about the same rate, though.
- The color pictured on the bottle is definitely not the color you will get. Putting the dye on a piece of plain white paper, though, and blotting it a little, will give you a nearly-exact swatch (over bleached hair, at least).
- Something I forgot from last time is that my hair feels absolutely amazing. I can't stop touching it.
I'm going to stick with this brand to try and get more pictures of its color range out there. I'm also going to keep track of how the purple fades, and see if it'll last as long as the green did. The green lasted 8 weeks and was still a pretty light lime by the time I dyed over it. (If not for St. Patrick's Day I probably wouldn't have bothered redyeing...but, I also wanted to add the purple, too.)
Hooray, weirdly-colored hair!
