Manic Panic Amplified Ultra Violet. Done at the hairdressers - this stuff stains! It’s only a semi but I have streak highlights put in first then the colour all over. The colour fades out over about 12 washes but the highlights stay more purple longer so it’s still a lovely look even after 2 months.
I used to use Manic Panic, awesome colors but the staining is a pain when the hair was wet/damp. When I had purple hair I used Pravana dye and it was even worse, it would stain my clothes when dry and waking up in the morning my face and neck would be purple. I wish someone would make permanent colored dyes......
You have pretty hair and a sweet face!
My dream colour and cut is this....
But I have wavy, frizzy, curly and slightly straight bits of hair all at the same time....and not to mention a very round face sad
No point in me putting up a recent picture of my curls on here, as you’ve ALL seen the recent disasterous short cut! Thankfully it’s starting to lie a bit better & is less sticky out, antennae like.
Dream hair would be much, much thicker & longer, like it looked a few years ago. Here is a slightly fatter me 7 years ago when my youngest was a baby. I had lovely golden highlights & really liked it. Grainy photo warning!
This is from December to just this past weekend! I got a better haircut (the length didn’t change, I didn’t sweep it to the front so it’s behind my shoulder) and I changed every hair product I was using! Ridiculous how much it’s changed so much, I’m telling you Curly Girl Method...it is almost as addicting as jewelry lol
I had some CRAZY hair in high school then I killed my curls
And because this is a jewelry forum I’m going to include the bling pic lol
like what was I thinking but 16-18 year old me just didn't know better 
I think I'm going to go for it and ask my stylist (on the 26th) to do this cut--maybe a bit longer than the blond example, but this style)
With one of these color schemes underneath:
Which colors do you ladies think would work best? The blue/purple like pics 1 and 3, or the red/purple like pic 2? Or another "hidden" color?
Hoping that when my hair is down it'll look like this (in terms of color visibility).
And then color underneath the top layer

Dear @Alex T you are beautiful in all your hair styles. Long, short and in between. You really are.
I’ve recently gone blonde and mine always goes brassy. I use a purple toning shampoo and the brassy colour goes away
I'll go first. If I could pick any color it would be an icy white cool blonde as I just love that color and always have. With my dark bio hair it was impossible because my hair was too thin and fragile to be totally bleached of the dark brown color it used to be.
And I love shoulder length wavy non frizzy hair. Either shorter in back and longer on the sides (Lob) or all over same length about 16". My dream hair.
Some examples.
This color.
Would love to see examples of your dream hair...and even better if your hair is your dream hair please share with us!
calling @Matata... your hair is dreamy.
I have this! I would say it’s my dream color. I’ve had white blonde/platinum hair for the past 5 years at least. I do variations on it sometimes, often going for the more “rooty” look, but my sweet spot is all over white blonde from root to tip. My natural color is some shade of brown and I have to say it’s a pain in the butt to upkeep this but oh so worth it!
My answer is: my own hair up until my early 30s.
I used to LOVE my hair - in my younger years, I had naturally very thick, chestnut/auburn colored hair, that got natural blonde highlights in the sun and dried perfectly without any blowdryer. It also held curl well if I wanted to wear it curled or wavy, and it was long - jut below my bra strap.
I took it all for granted, and never knew what a pain in the A$$ unruly hair is. My friends always told me, but I never really understood. Fast forward to my 30s - it became curly, frizzy, and unmanageable without heat treatment - I was at a LOSS for what to do with it. I don't even think I owned a hair product of any kind! Now I have more products than I care to admit, and half of them don't work at all. I still like my hair; now I wear it curly sometimes or I blow it dry (but that takes at least a half hour). But it really is true what they say: youth is wasted on the young.
I'm attaching a picture of me and my mom - I think I was about 20 in this picture and at that time, I didn't even own a blow dryer. My friends hated me and now I know why. The second picture was taken a few weeks ago with my dog on the beach (age 42) - au natural crazy hair. I spend most of my time and money at the salon trying to recreate both the texture and the color of my younger hair - lol
:roll)
