Here comes Smurfette/Mermaid-esque hair!

 
(@crowcrow)

After months of preparation, research, questions asked, I've achieved it! I got the hair I dreamt of. and I intend to share it πŸ˜€

It's brighter in real life (this seems to be a phrase literally everyone in here says, so to not stand out, I say it as it is lol). my phone made the hair look a bit more royal blue rather than more turquoise blue, but it's the best photo I could seem to take.

Dyes used:
Adore Aquamarine
Directions Atlantic Blue
Directions Turquoise
and maybe 10/15% conditioner

Directions' turquoise is actually green I realised, lol. I didn't realise it was teal until I compared it to Aquamarine by Adore.

Can't believe how forgiving the effect is on my very uneven base. It took very vibrantly, evenly and just beautifully. I'm impressed!

It's my first time having neon hair and I love it!! πŸ™‚

It's mostly blue turquoise, with a bit of greenish tints here and there but it's all blended and looks great.

I've mixed too much of these dyes and now I've got a lot left, just put it in some empty pots lol :p

Congratulations on achieving your dream hair!

And you could always use the extra in your conditioner to top the colour up as you go.

Thanks so much all of you for your lovely comments <3

I did work really hard to get it, yeah, lol, however, I must say, I wasn't aware how forgiving these dyes would be, like I literally spent few days trying to get as even base as I possibly can, yet it really came out evenly and bright and it's the exact shade of turquoise that I wanted. Not too royal blue, not too green, just perfect, I'm so happy!!!
