WHITE HAIR!!!

I had one!  I was so excited that I had to pull it out and examine it.  I would love a headful of snow white hair.  It’s been one of my life-long dreams.  Hopefully it comes back white and not gray.

Fragrance Oil Finder Website!!!

I stumbled across this today, and am DELIGHTED with it!!

The way I found if was sort of through a spiteful internet search.  You see- an Etsy seller sold a soap with a fragrance oil that was DIVINE.  I have been messing around with making shampoo, and I wanted to use this fragrance to scent the shampoo.

I contacted her, let her know that I wanted to replicate that smell for my hair, and asked if she would mind sharing it with me.  I sort of half-expected a NO, but what I got was not only a NO, but also a little rant about how I was trying to steal her product scent.  Yes, really.  She also went on and on about how she spent months perfecting the scent through blends of fragrance oils.

A little deflated, but also a little annoyed… I had a hunch that not only WAS it a single fragrance oil… but she was dumb enough to copy & paste the exact description of the fragrance oil directly from the product website.  I copied a snippet of it…. googled, and beheld the website below:

http://www.fragranceoilfinder.com/catalog/index.php

It told me EXACTLY where the fragrance oil was sold… and she did indeed copy & paste the entire description.  Teehee!

Okay, fine.  I guess you can make arguments to support her case.  But she didn’t need to outright LIE about it.  A simple, “I’m sorry, but I would rather not share” would suffice.  Further, if you are that concerned with secrecy…. WRITE YOUR OWN DESCRIPTIONS.

That’s all.  I win.  =)

Lavender Roots

No, not the herb.

Well.  I knew the white blonde hair would not last long.  I loved it during cold months…. as I love the look of white blonde hair & super pale skin.  Summer brings out freckles and redness, which makes the blonde look more trashy and dry than anything else.  So I decided to go with lavender!

Here are pics from the first round:

I achieved this using RAW hair dye from hot topic.  I mostly used Candy Pink, and mixed in a bit of Purple Punch.  Not a lot- maybe like 1/4 of the bottle of pink.  I also diluted the entire mixture with 1/2 cup of water.  The dye is hard to break up in the water…. if you REALLY want to be pro, mix it the day before and let it sit (covered) in the fridge overnight.  That helps break down the dye.

Of course, I didn’t do that.  I don’t have that kind of patience.  Hence the interesting different hues throughout.

YAY!  Okay, so a month later, I have some nasty roots going on.  I can’t afford to keep going to the salon…. so I wanted to try bleaching my own roots.  I went to Sally Beauty Supply, and they recommended the following items:

I mixed it up, and applied to my roots as best I could!  Needless to say, I missed quite a few spots.

I was afraid to leave it on too long, so I washed it out after 30 minutes.  I could have gone 45 minutes, I think.

Anyhoo, I reapplied the purple, and got a darker shade this time!  I still love it, and it will fade with each washing….so it can only improve.  =)
