What up ladies!!! *waves*

Apologies for my distinct lack of posts since I've been abroad!

I'm wanting to have my hair pastel turquoise, going in to darker/less diluted turquoise on the ends. Recommendations on which dye to use? I DON'T want to use Directions turquoise as it came out more teal on my hair.

TIA ladies  *hugs*

Will your base contain some yellow? If so i would suggest adore aquamarine diluted. It's a really gorgeous colour. It's a turqy blue, so you may have to add a little green to make it as turquoise as you want.

I find most turquoises get greener when diluted. So if you are looking for a blue shade I would use diluted Atlantic blue.
Adore aquamarine is lovely, a lot like the old directions Turquoise, which wasn't as green.

Adore aquamarine is what I currently have on my head right now (after I faded/bleached out directions turquoise a few months ago) I've been trying to fade the aquamarine for ages now, but it's as faded as it's going to get. Planning a bleach bath for Thursday. The plan is to bleach bath (not sure how many yet) and tone.

What do you think aquamarine mixed with some atlantic blue and diluted would come out like? I'm not sure if I want a more minty green turquoise or a more blue toned pastel, depends on how the bleach baths go I think.

Has anyone tried diluted sfx fishbowl?
