Pink on Blonde

[M.A.C. head.]

Now THAT'S my kind of girl!

Extremely girlie but fierce and kick ass. I love the pink. If I didn't work at a school I'd be inspired to try it myself LOL

Im going to try a clear coat- I think it will seal the color in more....

Thanks M.a.c.head and CK!!!

It's the same as using red in your hair, the molecules are bigger than black, blonde, brown, etc. So, the bigger color molecules just "sit" on the cuticles of the hair. That's why it fades, your hair can't absorb the color very well. Have you tried a clearcoat? I have good luck with clearcoats. When I put RB slices in my hair I had to put one over, I didn't want the red to fade super fast. It also makes your hair shiney!!!

do u have much luck with the pravana vivids staying? I had a friend who used the purple ALL over her head (effing hot too) and it faded like a mofo. Do u mix it like they say (no developer) or do u play with it a little? I really want blue black hair but i was gonna use Shades. Only because Im scared that the Vivids are gonna fade faaaaaast. And after the Vivids u use a clear coat to seal it? It sounds like a very...obvious idea but wedont do many crazy colors at my salon so theres not much talk of this--people either get a color gloss or a clear gloss

ur hair is some of the hottest Ive seen. As far as I know,pravana is professional only, and Im not sure u could get it. I know the beauty supply we get ours from is licensed professionals only. I COULD BE WRONG THOUGH.
If Im right, and u do need to be a professional,i could do a cp for u. The tubes are cheeeeeeap 3.99 for 3 0z.

Thanks for the compliment, I loooooooove my hair!!

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread (I'm subscribing now!)

I get mine done black w/the pink highlights... takes awhile to do everything, but it looks good when it's done. I'm actually going on Thursday again, so I'll take pics then.

The Pravana dye is the only one that's had any staying power in my hair (naturally a medium to dark brown)... I had done the Paul Mitchell pink color, and within 2 weeks it needed to be redone.

I havent really experimented with it, since it doesn't need a developer. I just put it on, lol! I will have to post a picture of my friends hair. I am retouching it tonight.
It really depends on your hair. If your cuticle is completely blown open, then it will fade faster. I really would have to sit and think to see what pre-pigment would work with purple. Probably a V (violet). Whats nice with purple is that you only need to lift to a level 7. Pink you need to be a 8, preferably a 9.
Oh btw, my FAVORITE bleach is Paul Mitchell w/ 30vol developer. I have medium/thick hair & is somewhat porous & I lift white in 10 minutes or so. I never really have to tone, but when I wasn't it ashy I will tone.

I could pick one up too! I always am at Cosmo Prof. There is pink and magenta in the Pravana Vivids.
I have used Goldwell's clear coat on my hair at school. That's the ONLY thing I like from Goldwell. You can do it every couple of weeks. I think you will be pleased.
