Arctic Fox Aquamarine. Mixed in with my daily conditioner to keep it vibrant - I only leave it on for a couple of minutes before rinsing out, took about 2-3 washes to get it nice and evenly colored.

Lightly faded, but I’m living for this combo. Arctic Fox Aquamarine on the bottom half, with Purple Rain on the top half. PR is a pinky-purple, so it’s been fading out a sort of bubblegum. Mix a very small amount with daily conditioner and leave on for maybe 2-3 minutes. It’s holding up well in water of all temps.

Used a mixture of Arctic Fox Girls’ Night + Virgin Pink with my daily conditioner. A little of that pink goes a really long way, and parts of my hair really like to cling to it.

I’m convinced my lavender dreams exist in the realm of photoshop and make-believe, but I’m still pretty pleased with how this turned out! I haven’t seen this color by itself, not mixed with anything else. It didn’t cover all the blonde the way I’d hoped, but I was curious to see just how well this singular color covered. I may go in with a darker purple at the roots and cross the lavender with the pastel pink that my hair likes to cling onto. Color used (not shown in options): Arctic Fox in Girls’ Night

Had so much fun with this color combination! Mixed Artic Fox’s sunset orange and virgin pink into my daily conditioner to maintain this color. Some days it’s more pink, others it’s more orange, but fairly peachy and with the grown out balayage it makes for some really nice braids!

Still have some blonde in my hair, so I mixed lavender and rose in my daily conditioner. I'm pretty surprised by how dark the purple looks, as it's been fairly silvery in the past. I've also been using Ion Pigments in magenta, although less than the directions suggest and for a shorter amount of time. I wish they made more colors because this stuff holds up well to even the hottest water. So far I've only been able to tone it down with a good shampooing. Other than that it builds on itself and intensifies with every wash. It's pretty fun stuff!

Looks like I'll have to be a closet unicorn for now. Started an internship (yay!) which meant I had to take my hair color down a notch. Fortunately the hot hot pink was about 98% faded so I wasn't looking wild when I showed up on my first day. I wonder what line of work you guys are in that lets you be your colorful selves?

This was a month after having dyed my hair with manic panic hot hot pink. I unfortunately had to fade it faster than I wanted to due to family events and starting an internship, but some of it still lingered in the underside.

A random stranger earlier today told me they loved my Valentine's Day hairs <3 This pink is seriously the best!

I made it through its first wash! I've gotten so many compliments on this color today, it's such a fun pink!
-
hokiepokie607 — 12/2/2017
My Ion Salmon and Rose combination completely disappeared after one wash, so I decided to give Manic Panic another chance. This is actually diluted Hot Hot Pink (1 part MP to 1.5-2 parts conditioner), which ended up making wayyy too much product than what I needed - this stuff went a long way! Also, it is indeed black light reactive.

This mix turned out significantly more neon than expected, but after the first shampoo it washed out to a more champagne pink. Fun while it lasted!

This is my current state of Rose Gold. Turns out that after all of the color removers used over the past several months (x2 Color Oops, x2 Pravana, x2 Malibu DDL), I still couldn't get ALL of the Pravana Green out of the ends (bottom half of my hair), so I'm calling the color 'Rose Bush' seeing as how I managed to get the whole rose here... So we did a full head of highlights and initially used Schwarzkopf Rose (wouldn't grab onto ends, washed out quickly). For its current state, I have a mix of 1/4 parts Ion Salmon and Flamingo, and 1/2 part conditioner. I love what Salmon did to the color, but I have a patch on the other side of my head that somehow picked up Flamingo and held on for dear life D: - I'm also using a pastel pink color depositing shampoo that's really helping to maintain a light pinky overtone.

Tried out Pravana Green on the ends, and am loving it! Wasn't sure how it'd work on my current color, but it's just right. Well, looks like I'm going full green.
-
hokiepokie607 — 3/3/2016
Pravana green on the ends. The lights in this room give off a very yellow vibe, but it helped to pull out the green.
-
hokiepokie607 — 2/3/2016
So I'm really wanting to try Pravana's Green, so I decided to try out a color remover. I used Color Oops, but even though it says it won't work on direct dyes, I wanted to give it a shot anyway since I'd colored my hair with a permanent dye prior to the most recent round of Violet (which is why it looked more maroon-ish). I hoped it would lift the dark out, and it did more than that; I'm actually seeing my natural color again (gasp!). I honestly didn't expect it to work this well, but I definitely do still have some remnants in the back on the underside of what looks JUST like a slightly muted Violet from the very first round back in October. Who knows. Seriously though, Color Oops worked unbelievably well.

Had a rather nice hair day and couldn't pass up the opportunity. The Violet I used several weeks ago is fading nicely, but even though I dyed a darker brown over the Wild Orchid and put Violet on afterwards, it seems like it's not a color to go down easily.
-
hokiepokie607 — 26/1/2016
As it's fading it has turned a lot more towards the 'berry' side. It's not a terrible color, but that Wild Orchid I used a while back isn't going anywhere. That, and I hacked it off :)
-
hokiepokie607 — 5/1/2016
Such a weird color! Time of day really affects what color it wants to be. In cool morning light it's very much the violet I hoped for, but in warm afternoon light it's more of a burgundy.
-
hokiepokie607 — 5/1/2016
The sun's being stubborn and I'm a little impatient (there's a lot of movement outside today and I don't feel like being the selfie queen) so here's a photo of it in the shade and a stripe in the sun. It's a bit dark as I brought everything to the same color with Vidal Sassoon's Deep Velvet Violet (sort of a strange purple-burgundy), then I slapped on the rest of my Pravana Violet + Wild Orchid with a hefty heap of conditioner (made just enough!) to cover everything. So it's purple, but not super wild until the sun hits it. Shampooed it for the first time this morning and it got a lot more Violet, so I'm excited to see how this color will turn out in the coming weeks.
-
hokiepokie607 — 18/12/2015
Touched up the ends a a little with Pravana Violet + Wild Orchid over my natural auburn before I go out of town for the holidays. I'm this close to doing all of it!
-
hokiepokie607 — 7/12/2015
Finally added some to the top. Put it in a pony and ran my hands through the ends with color and worked it up for a smooth gradient.

hokiepokie607 — 9/11/2015
Sorry, I really hate selfies but I wanted to give an idea of what it looked like from the front. As the days go by I feel like it's getting pinker. Seems as though the magenta was so saturated that my hair didn't want to hold as much purple. It's also still bleeding out both purple AND magenta, but only slightly. Roots don't want to hold much purple, and I put leave-in conditioner crossed with Violet on the ends so there's somewhat of a fun ombré going on. Not completely in love with this berry-variation, but it's turned more heads :)
-
hokiepokie607 — 3/11/2015
Current state of purple. Color still bleeds out in cold showers, but what's coming out is more like a light lilac (unless I actually shampoo it, then it's just straight purple - sticking to a cleansing conditioner has been magical for maintaining the color). Shown in indirect sunlight. Color was mostly a mixture of equal parts Pravana Violet to conditioner with a touch of Wild Orchid over somewhat pre-lightened base (if you want to call it that) of L'oreal Hicolor Highlights in Magenta (that was more of an Ariel-red with slight magenta undertone).
-
hokiepokie607 — 28/10/2015
I'm purple(ish) again! I used half a tube of Pravana Violet with a touch of Pravana Wild Orchid with equal parts conditioner over my preexisting 'Magenta' hair (L'oreal Hicolor Highlights), so I knew the color would end up looking closer to wild orchid anyway. It seems more Violet to me than Wild Orchid, but the sun+photo suggests otherwise. Truth be told, I haven't really looked at it much this week since dyeing it. I have noticed that it's significantly more purple at the ends, and hardly looks like I touched the roots. I'll have to curl it and see.
-
hokiepokie607 — 24/10/2015
Got a good picture of it in the sun. It's a lot more 'Ariel Red' this time around than the hot pink result I got last year with this particular color, but this combo has been a nice fall color scheme. Used L'oreal Hicolor Highlights in Magenta (with failed attempt to cover it with Pravana Locked-In Purple). From previous experience with HH Magenta, note that it fades fast and bleeds a lot.

hokiepokie607 — 20/10/2015
It's a sad day for my hair. I wanted to recolor it because there were about 3 different colors going on on top due to unsuccessfully trying to cover up highlights over the past few months. Didn't work out too well... The highlights started about 4 inches from my roots, then another 2 inches up from that was another color, then about an inch of my natural color. So I had a tube of Pravana Locked-In Purple that I wanted to try out. I colored the top and bottom half of my hair (top to golden brown, bottom with L'oreal Hicolor Highlights in Magenta) with hopes I'd have the same happy success from using Pravana Vivids Violet. Not so much... Locked-In provided literally no difference, as you can see here. :'( I didn't really care much for the consistency of Locked-In, and it smelled a bit like an old jelly bean. Cleanup was a breeze, but I was a bit worried when the color I saw was very much a rose-toned violet. I had high hopes for this one, but I guess I'm just going to have to hold out with this Ariel Red (still very pretty!) until I can get more Vivid Violet shipped in.

3 weeks later and this color is still awesome. I wash it every other day in cold water with a cleansing conditioner, and only shampoo maybe once a week (it takes more color out). The morning sunlight caused it to have a little more of a blue hue. When it's curled is when the purple is the most visible, but now I'm seriously contemplating doing my whole head.
-
hokiepokie607 — 30/9/2015
Added Pravana Violet to more of the underside of my hair. Here's the back (in direct sunlight). It's not hiding so much anymore! In the sunshine the purple really pops (the auburn that the purple was dyed over is a lot darker, but the sunlight's washing it out in this picture).

Added more Pravana Violet to the underside of my hair. Not a selfie kinda girl, but I wanted to show what it looked like from the front :)
-
hokiepokie607 — 29/9/2015
Pravana Violet still holding strong after 6 washes :) I wanted a nice eggplant/plum color, so I dyed directly over my auburn hair, no bleach. I'm still in love with this color!
-
hokiepokie607 — 22/9/2015
Pravana Vivids Violet over unbleached auburn hair. After initially testing the dye, I decided to cross 1/2 the tube with equal parts conditioner. The color turned out the same, but it didn't end up bleeding out as badly. I've washed my hair about 4 times (in cold water) so far and the color has held beautifully with fairly minimal bleed at this point. It's remained a very pleasant eggplant/plum purple. I won't be dyeing my entire head (though I really wish I could), but I do plan on expanding upon what's already there. *please note that there is no use of a filter on this photo. It was taken indoors with indirect sunlight as it showed the best color contrast.

hokiepokie607 — 22/9/2015
Another shot of Pravana Vivids Violet over my slightly altered hair, this time in direct sunlight (equal parts dye to conditioner, used 1/2 tube). It tends to photograph somewhat navy, but in reality it's a very beautiful plum/eggplant-purple. This color bled a good bit initially, but I kinda like the effect. Any messes made came right up with bleach spray cleaner; wiped off of skin with some peppermint oil. So far I've washed it 3 times and the color's still holding strong. Not quite as saturated, and it feels like my regular hair again (not dye-heavy), just purple!

Went back to the salon and got my hair redyed a week later after the first round washed out. This one was much more even and stayed about 2 weeks, washing it every other day in cold water. *Update: I didn't end up going back to that salon, but instead found an awesome product that held for a while and slowly transitioned it from turquoise to navy to purple to magenta and back to my natural auburn.

Bathroom lighting of the turquoise day one. I noticed that it was pretty splotchy and uneven in places, and after 3 cold washes, it went from this color, to greenish roots with bleachy-mint ends, to bleach blonde with a very sickly mint tinge. Needless to say, I went back with hopes of getting it fixed.

Third round of turquoise. After 2 attempts at the salon (color washed out almost immediately the first time, and the second time in about 5+/- washes... in cold water - sickly green roots, very slight bleach+mint colored hair), I decided to take matters into my own hands. I used Jerome Russell Punky Color in Turquoise. I have to say this stuff smells AMAZING. It turned out an amazingly intense color, very even. It's a little more on the blue side, but no complaints! You could get lost in its intensity. If I do this color again I'll probably mix a little green in. Because I have to wear my hair up in the studio, it bled onto the ends of my hair (as you can see). It also bled onto my clothes for a while (wore darker clothes to keep from ruining them), and turq was coming out in the shower for 3 weeks. I was washing it in cold water for about 2 weeks, then got tired of freezing so washed it in warm water as usual and it did just fine. Now, about 2 months later, my hair is still very turquoise. Faded, but still really nice.

Second round of turquoise. I wish I knew what product they used at the salon, but next time I'll ask.
-
hokiepokie607 — 14/6/2012
First day of my turquoise hair. Washed out after 3 days so I had to fix it. Have no idea what product the salon used, but it was a mixture of a couple different colors. I've got to get my roots touched up eventually so I'll ask her next time.
-
hokiepokie607 — 14/6/2012
My turquoise underlayer the first day. I went and got it done by a professional to make sure it was done right, and I loved it. Sad part was it washed out completely in about 3 days. Yuck. I went back to her and she was totally shocked, so we got it fixed.

Hennaed hair the night after. This is pretty much the color it turned out, and it stayed this intense for months.

Hennaed hair the next day in sunlight. Not an accurate representation of color, but look at the shine!

Bathroom lighting of my henna stain. I used a homemade henna powder mixture to liven up my natural color after the winter fade-out. I mixed the powder with a bit of lemon and orange juice and a few drops of peppermint and rose essential oils to help the smell and further condition it. I left it sitting it a closed container for a day to let the dyes/stain release, and left it on my hair for about 5-6 hours. It came out beautifully. My hair was frizzy and sad looking, and after I rinsed the henna out it straightened it out a bit and tamed those frizzies! It became more manageable and the shine it added was to die for! For those who don't know, henna smells funky! Not terrible, but it's definitely one of those smells you don't forget but can't exactly describe. Dry henna smells like green tea. It's amazing. *Wearing gloves is an absolute must!! The first time I got impatient and went on without them, and the second time my gloves broke, but henna will stain your hands for a significant amount of time. I had super carrot hands for a little over a month that I could only let wear off over time.
