It's a lot easier than being blue, apparently

I had some bleach and blue dye, and needed to destress, so I dyed my hair yesterday. Not all of it--just a bit on the top and front. Special Effects has always treated me well, but this time...

It's not so bad - reminds me of images like http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Superman-Batman_01.jpg , where blue is used as a highlight for black hair.

It's not bad... but it's not blue. The placing of the color is about what I intended, but Oompa-Loompa was not my goal.

If you want, I'd be happy to do something fun with your hair while you're here, my treat! If you tell me the colors you want to aim for, I'll order 'em now so they'll be here.

If it starts looking gross after a few washes (I'm betting it will fade to snot) maybe something like dark red that won't get annoying with fading?

Which red speaks to you?

(Your icon is making me think "blood red," but I thought you ought to check 'em all.)

Blood Red actually does look most like what I had in mind. :P

well, I'm guessing your hair (even after bleaching once) was still not light enough or was still kinda yellow and thus gave you green, but that's really weird since you've had success before though. but I think it looks nice haha. I've seen far worse bleaching incidents.

Perhaps it's actually grue. You just need to wait for t to pass.
