dyes used:
punky color plum and rose red
manic panic lavendar

note that while punky color is essentially permanent, manic panic will fade out noticeably with each shampoo. i took advantage of these properties to create an effect of highlights gradually coming into my hair (as the manic panic washed out). with the help of some friends i dyed each strand a different color, with deeper colors underneath and lighter colors (and a higher proportion of manic panic) at the crown. this somehow wound up looking "natural" although the colors were not even remotely natural!

the first and most exciting
dye adventure,
in progress

the pink faded to a lovely shade of mauve
but that plum just wouldn't quit!
