Well, that didn't go quite as planned...

Last night I thought I'd ring in the New Year by making another attempt at dyeing my hair really, really purple with a pack of "Plum Rose" dye I got at Sally's Beauty Supply.

So this morning I'm looking in the mirror and I realize that while my hair does not seem to be any more purple, my scalp does.

Oh well. At least this time I didn't dye my neck purple!

I'd say go with Special Effects instead of Manic Panic or Punky, but then that's the purple color that's currently on my head. ;) Otherwise, I agree. If you really want purple, you're simply going to have to lighten it.

Ah, yes. I've been using synth hair for a couple years now instead of dyeing it, so Special FX didn't really exist when I was coloring my hair. I think I used the red once when it first came out, right before I did extensions, and it was more effective than MP or Punky, but fried my hair. Plus the dye smelled like a strawberry shortcake doll, which frightened me. :)
