I finally get my hair a colour that i adore, that suits my skin tone, looks natural and will be low-cost on up-keep....YEAH RIGHT!!!
First off- It's my own damn fault....for wanting crazy galaxy hair colours...the La Riche Turquoise is a beautiful colour but forbid anyone who wants to lose the green locks!!!
My lovely Ginger/Copper tones still have streaks of green on the ends and through some areas, and as the colour fades the green really shows through...especially at work in the artifical lighting.
I tried re-dying with the same semi-conditionng colour i bought (see previous post), but the green still lurked. Then i went out and bought a pernanent colour, the Live XXL in Mango- which is new, and beautiful by the way...but still the green is there like an unwanted fetted aura of doom....
Short of bleaching and re-dying which i really want to avoid all i can do is go more red to combat the green tones (if you know your colour wheel red is opposite to green so they cancel each other out and make brown)...my idea was to go red, like rich deep red, then get some micro-loop hair extentions in a ginger/blonde to add tones to my hair, maybe even ombre it...
I'm annoyed though, and dont want to admit defeat. It makes no sense that a semi-colour would last so long as the colour doesnt attatch to the cortex, but insted to the outer surface of the hair, although the running theory is my hair was damaged and the green got in the coretex...so technically bleach is the only way to remove...merrrgh.
Anyway rant over. I have a week or so to decide so im going to do more research.
Have any of you had similar issues? Or know a solution?
Thans for Reading!

BLEACH LONDON; Rad? or Fad?
I'm one of those people who is constantly updating my facebook status threatening to go a different colour, people say no and i do it anyway. I'm always on the look out for new colours etc, especially in the past year since finally getting my hair the the white blonde i 'always' wanted. But then there are so many new shiney awesome colours that will make me look awesome... and finally i'll be happy with my hair... ERRGH WRONG.
I hauled myself some BLEACH LONDON products from Boots (UK), this brand is from a salon of the same name in London, (yes really, who'd have thunk), and this salon is where all us 'out there' non-conformists, can go and conform together into one rainbow hair mass. So i got myself a lovely white toner kit, which essentially is a dye kit, rather then my usual pot of whack-it-on directions white toner, and some silver shampoo as well as a bottle of 'Rose' pink hair dye. It's only semi, lasts 2-10 washes, although that immidiatley rings alarm bells for me as it's a bit vague. Usually 8-10 washes i feel comfortable with, but 2-10??? I mean am i going to go in with mild pink hair on my 6th wash and come out stark-white again on the 7th??
Moaning aside it is a nice dye, i will add i haven't used either of the other products yet, only the Rose colour. Its in a simple easy bottle, whack it on washed, NOT conditioned, towel-dried hair, it's a lovely gloopy formula that goes NEON pink on your hair. It is only recommended for very light blonde hair although i have seen a couple of reviews on darker blondes and it does still show up a lovely softer pink colour. It doesn't stay NEON pink. Wait 15 min, wash it off and out comes this amazing soft, candyfloss-pink hair.
Suprisingly i DO love it! Although i've had it two days and i'm bored already. But that will be the joy of it washing it out in under 10 washes, because i can pop back down to boots and pick up another colour. Also, as my hair is quite short, i only used half a bottle so i still have another half i can top up the colour with. I will warn you though. I hadn't long had my roots done, and it didn't take too well to my roots. :(
The white toner kit was £7, the silver shampoo £5 and the Rose dye was also £5 but at the moment boots have a 3 for 2 offer on their salon brand hair products so i got the cheapest item free! :)
All-in-all if you're like me and you get bored easily, its highly recommended brand for colours. Especially if you want to to stand out! But i do feel its a tad over-priced and the bottles feel really industrial and kind of cheap, although they do look awesome. The product smells amazing, and i think it'll be better value for money if it drops down in price (which it probably will when the hypes died down). I do highly recommend it! So have fun experimenting with their vast rainbow of colours and i'll stick up my review of the toner and shampoo in 2-10 washes! Xx
