Adventures in pink

I have done some experimentations with pink dyes lately, and quite liking the results.

At first I bleached my hair from dark dirty blonde, just shade or two to get better adhesion. The result was this:

I was not too impressed with the amount of pigment in the brighter pink shades of Crazy Colour (the darker one was great) so I decided to try Carnation pink from Directions. That was a good pick, excellent colour! I also bought one of their violets to cool the shade a bit if necessary - and just for curiosity I swept some of it around my face. I got this nice dirty plummy pink, quite liked it!

And it also faded quite nicely! Carnation pink has some warm tones and the shade went to nice rose gold. The light is warmer in here, but you get the idea:

Now I have a bit of hair catastrophe going on. I decided to use actual bleach (not just bleaching dye) to my roots and used a brand I was not familiar of. My stubborn hair just kneeled down with it and got pale yellow from the front almost in the time I got it applied all around my head and I had to still wait a while to get something to happen in the back as well  :-X. Now I think I need to bleach even the rest of it to get some sensible shade to it. My roots are definitely blond  ;D. But I've quite grown on the idea having super unrealistic hair colour, so WHY NOT  ;D.
