Roots and purple hair

You'll likely overlap anyway when you do your roots. It's hard not to do when you're new to doing it (assuming you are...). I still do it most of the time, unless my hair is in an iffy state!

What are you using to bleach? Maybe you need a better bleach powder, my hair is about as dark as yours and I can get it very pale with a 20vol peroxide, so you should be able to with a good bleach powder and making sure to keep it warm.

As for the dye, just put it all over 🙂

I was able to bleach the rest of my hair a pale blonde but I panicked while  doing the roots the first time and rinsed it out after 8 minutes that's why it's uneven Lol. I was afraid my hair will fall off since I wasn't used to bleaching and I haven't discovered this forum yet at the time so I didn't know about coconut/argan oil before bleaching. I'm using l'oreal platinum paste ammonia free bleach. I'm not sure of the volume because my friend who is a hair dresser just gave me the developer she had extra in an unmarked bottle. Will the bleach fade the color on my previous roots to a light enough purple color and not into a light muddy brown? Thanks 🙂

Is there a way to prevent the bleach from bleeding too much to the rest of my hair besides the old roots that seriously needs a bleach touch up anyway? Lol

Pimpin purple goes bright pink when bleached, it might look red over a ginger base, but you won't have any issues covering it with more purple.
I am not sure what you mean by 'bleeding', bleach doesn't bleed. it does expand a little whilst developing, and it will take some of the colour off the rest of your hair when you rinse it out. I always put coconut oil on all of my hair when i am bleaching my roots, to protect my lengths/ends

Hi! Yes, sorry I meant dripping onto my lengths/ends when I rinse the bleach off. Can I use argan oil to protect it from the bleach instead of coconut oil?

You can, it has the same chelating properties and lauric acid, it is just much more expensive than coconut oil. (It has to be pure argan oil, not the stuff sold in drug stores which is all silicones with a small amount of argan oil)

Argan oil works, yes. Coconut is a lot cheaper though 🙂

If you mix bleach correctly, it won't drip. If it drips, it's too runny! When it runs off with water, it might slightly strip a bit of colour, but as you're dying with the same colour again so it won't matter.

ETA - Wicked Pixie got there first 🙂
