These are the results from using the bleach powder + hot water paste technique on hair that was dyed a few weeks ago + I hadn't done any fading treatments first. I also still had some coconut oil in my hair too. The purple is my normal color, and that bright pink is what's left from doing the paste on it. It stripped out everything except for that Atomic Pink from last October. I'd say to treat it as if it were a low vol bleach bath, my hair doesn't feel damaged at all, just dry. I'm pretty impressed with it though, especially considering I didn't fade it before doing this.

This is the result of after having to go 2 months without trimming off my split ends. I had to take off a lot more than I wanted! It's a lot shorter than I like, but it feels oh so good to have those split ends cut off and have all of my hair be the same texture again. I've been just letting it air dry on it's own without trying to curl/braid/straighten/twist it as it's drying like I normally do. After cutting it a few weeks ago I put just a pravana violet toner over it to help keep it cooled off. I've been doing a lot of coconut oil soaks and you can really see how much it had faded the violet out from my roots! Anyway, I'm happy with the health once again, still happy with the color, just not the length, but it will grow!

You can see really well here how much all the overnight coconut oil soaks have faded the violet out from my roots! Also, it's safe to say my Cocochoco Brazilian Keratin treatment is completely 100% out, my cowlick is back to it's massive, annoying old ways lol. I'm just going to roll with it though, not use heat at ALL, whatsoever, keep up with my normal routine, I have nice sharp shears again now...I just want my hair to be the length it was when it was black and I'll feel a lot better. Waist length is my goal though!

I had purple hair for a couple days! I added too much Pravana Violet to it, I used maybe a pea size and a half and left it on for about 4 hours + this is how purple it made it! lol. I liked it but shampooed it a couple times + let it set to remove some of the violet. This was at night, with flash

This was my best friend Marshall (he passed away 4 years ago) but I just came across this photo and thought it would be cool to share it on here. This was before we toned it so it's still pale yellow here. I can't remember which bleach we used but the black was Wella's demi in 1N

Just wanted to show how iridescent the color really looks. This is in natural light, no flash and it's overcast out today. Also wanted to update on the Keratin. It didn't seem to affect the dye uptake at all, and the smoothing effect is still pretty good, especially considering I'm sure when I bleached the runoff probably took some out. It hasn't been as pin straight after the bleach bath on my roots, but my waves are still clearly relaxed a lot, and this was taken right after I woke up. I'm still very happy with the Keratin treatment and will continue using doing them!

This is in natural light with no flash and it was sunny (dyed my brows too!). I used about 1 ounce of each of the pinks, only a teeny bit of Virgin Rose though just so I could compare the swatch of my mix to it, and I used about 2 3/4 oz of the Pravana Violet and about 4 oz of conditioner. I just eyeballed it all then looked after I was done to see how much was left in the bottles + tubs to figure out how much I used. I still have about 5 oz left over.

I wanted to make my pink even more purple, but I didn't want it to go too dark or too purple and not look pink anymore. So this photo was after I scrubbed it a few times with Biolage Anti Dandruff Shampoo and let it set the 3rd time for 15 minutes.

Having a great hair and makeup day today! And the light was perfect outside today, so these pictures are completely true to color with my hair, skin and eyes. I did a Cocochoco Brazilian Keratin treatment on my hair thanks to @AlexiaKat, and my hair LOVES it. I know it's probably hard to see the difference in texture/shine, but I did the treatment 2 nights ago. I haven't done a single thing to my hair since except comb it twice but it didn't even end up needing it. I've had ZERO tangles, my hair is so smooth, it has a weight and sway to it that I am inlove with, it just looks and feels so enhanced. I love it!

Just wanted to show what the color looks like in natural light, and I am so happy with it!

Another shot in natural light. This is true to color, completely and I couldn't be happier with it! So glad I made this sort of "toner" for it!

From the Atomic Pink I used before, my hair had too much reddish tones to it for my liking, and it was a couple shades lighter than this. I really wanted more of a purpley pink so I made a sort of toner with about a cup and a half of conditioner, 1/2 ounce Virgin Rose, maybe a half teaspoon of Pravana Violet, and added maybe a half ounce of Hot Hot Pink just to "pink" it up a little bit. I mixed it in a white bowl and smudged some VR at the top of it so I could compare it. It looked like a sligtly more purpley version of diluted VR. I'm super happy with how it came out! This is exactly how I wanted it! I also cut off quite a bit layer wise to rid myself of those pesky stained ginger ends
