Hi, need some colour advise please!
My hair is bra strap length, curly and approximately half of it is bleached (I'm growing it out!) The ends are a mixture of Cerise/Rose Red/Lavender/Dark Tulip all of which has faded badly after two weeks on the beach and is now revealing a crazy mixture of these faded colours with some residual green fade from Directions Plum, some silvery grey, some blonde and a few areas of bright pink and bright blue!
I have been successfully covering this rainbow with chunky strips of the darker Directions pinks and purples but fancy a change and was wondering if I used Spring Green on the silvery grey or blonde bits alongside Cerise/Carnation/Neon Blue/Lavender it would the pinks/purples just run into the green and make it muddy? (I mean when rinsing and subsequent washes)
Thanks for reading!

Probably. Unless they've already lost most of the excess pigment with washing, then it can happen. I have successfully mixed pink and green though,I just make sure I wash the green and pink separately 🙂

It depends on how much your color bleeds. I have had a few combinations of green and pink but only because my hair doesnt bleed at all. My hair is very good at keeping color and not absorbing the run off in the shower.
If your hair tends to bleed a lot, then it will go a muddy beige color

Thankyou for replying...I haven't got time/can't be bothered! to wash bits of it separately, so better just stick to the pinks and purples...especially as I have still got some colour run off from rose red that I used last time.
I have ordered Carnation, Cerise, Lavender and Violet........and maybe experiment with spring green ends when these have started to fade!

It takes seconds to wash separately. Seriously, you don't have to faff.
See the colour I have in the avatar though? I just realised I've never washed that separately. Basically, you can take a risk and just do it. If you wash with cool water and conditioner only wash then it almost certainly won't mix. Unless you use some super pigmented dye, but then you can just dilute it and it'll stop the bleed. I've done rainbow chunks before and nothing bled, you just have to be a bit careful to use methods of washing that don't promote colour leeching.
The sure fire way though is to wash the parts separately.
