The first time I dyed my hair, I requested for a shade of blue. It turned green.
Over a course of 2 months, it faded to a shade of light brown. I have to admit that I did like it green because it was an unusual shade that you don't see everyday and as it gradually turned to brown, I was fine with it too because it wasn't your conventional tone of brown. But what made me decide, rather impulsively, to dye my hair again were the roots. Man, I hated how my black roots were so obvious because my hair was light brown. It looked so bad.
So the second time I decided on purple, a dream of mine ever since I saw Chloe Nørgaard's gorgeous hair with three tones that are blue, purple and pink.

I was hoping it would fade to a dusty lilac like this:

Alas, dye jobs are never predictable in my case. It rarely goes the way I want it to go. There was a brief period of time where it was sorta purple, but it quickly transitioned to a striking red.

A few days later:
Now that my roots are starting to show again, I'm contemplating giving purple another shot. Whether I'll go to a salon or do it myself, I'm still on the fence. I guess only time will tell. Who knows, one day I might wake up and decide to dye my entire head pink. (I had a pink streak once. Thanks Tasha!)
We'll see. Excuse me as I plot my next move for gaining hair like these lovely ladies:

Adieu.
