Evening all.
It is with a sad heart I close my blog for the time being. I am currently working three jobs which I love and doing burlesque most weekends, but it leaves me little time to blog. I am saddened but I feel that letting people ask questions I dont have time to answer properly or promptly is harmful to their time and hair. For this reason I am closing until I feel able to re-open.
The FAQ and tutorials will remain as helpful documents for those needing help, and the search bar will often find you tagged answers to the question you have.
Try searching #damagedhair or #bleach for example.
thanks and best,

Hello, please read my guide to achieving white hair
http://www.scribd.com/doc/91449310/Definitive-Guide-to-White-Hair#scribd
to find out how.
Going from dark brown to white will be a long and damaging process so be carful and don’t rush it.
Sadly you’re dreaming for the impossible. To get brightly coloured hair you need to start with a clean base. Imagine a purple crayon trying to colour on black paper? It just wont work. You use that crayon on white paper though and suddenly the colour is easy to see. The same goes for your hair. You need to bleach it to get a light yellow before using a vegetable dye like bleach London (a terrible brand by the way, I would suggest using directions, special effects, manic panic or crazy colour instead).
Sadly the clue is even in the name of the brand..bleach london! They do kits for those who are new to using bleach that should help it be less scary however if you’re worried. Otherwise there’s not much option other than clip in extensions in purple to go under your natural hair atm. As its short you’d need a professional to put in something like shrinkies for you.
I can only apologise and make it clear that I’m afraid this blog can no longer be a priority. I will get to any and all questions in due course, but you may have to wait for a reply. My apologies again.

I’ll answer just as soon as I can
Hi, lots of people have blue problems going green!
SFX blue or directions midnight blue are the bluest blues. Often I think bleached hair reacts badly with blue and can go green and you just need to find one that matches your hair type. Sorry I can’t help more.
I know my bestie uses SFX blue velvet to combat the greenmeanies
Hi :)
Here’s my post on oils and healthy hair after bleaching

hope that helps!
My trifecta of great products for dry and damaged hair are
- Aussie three minute miracle deep reconstructing conditioner
-Argan oil
-Joico Kpak deep penetrating reconstructor (Protein treatment)
for more info read my bleaching guide, or go through the bleach tag :)
Sorry the reply is so late.
Your natural hair is light so the dye will work but without the bleach to make the hair a little porous, it will wash out very quickly and likely stain (it will stain bleached hair also, but you were worried about it washing out)
Maintaining lilac is a hard, and takes dedication. You’ll need to re-dye it or use a toner probably once a week to upkeep the colour.
Top tips for maintaining colour are:-
Wash in cold water
Wash only once or twice a week
Don’t over use products or heat treatment as these fade colour quickly
Don’t use medicated or clarifying shampoo
