Multicolours fringes, Part 2

Following on from earlier I though I'd share a piccie for you to see the after effects and explain how to achieve it.

This fringe was a three step process, involving three colours. Forrest green at the back, Yellow and orange at the front.

Firstly I bleached my hair to the lightest I could get, which was near white using the 40% vol Jerome Russell bleach.

Then I sectioned my hair using clips, seperating my fringe (about 2 inches from the hair line backward and from about 4 inches above my ears) keeping it folded over but facing forward.

Then I got my Manic Panic Enchanted forrest dye into my bowl, mixed it up to revive it a bit and used my brush to start at the hair line behind my fringe. Using the brush to make sure the edge was straight and no dye went infront I brushed backwards until the top layer was covered. Then I clipped up in sectioned to brush through the rest. This means you use less dye, get better coverage and can be more accurate with your finished result.

Then, the tricky bit. I got cling film and wrapped it around the part of my head that had the green dye on, from the hair line backwards. This means the slight head increase makes the dye last longer as it soaks into the hair more and also keeps it separate from the fringe.

Now the fringe, I separated again into two sections, length ways across my head. Using the washed brush I "painted" on the Daffodil Directons dye, brushing the hair backwards so it sits over the clingfilmed green hair. Then washed the brushed and repeated the process on the front section with Manic Panic Fire brushing it forward from the hair line then twisting small sections on top of themselves and securing with clips.

Theres no doubting that for the next hour I looked like a prize wally but not one said the price of fabulous hear was cheap to your dignity.

I left it for an hour before rinsing the front out over the bath with the shower head, before leaning backwards and getting a hand from my lovely other half to rinse the back. Making sure the back was thoroughly rinsed to avoid colour bleeding and bobs your lobster. Multicoloured fringe!!
