Saturday was girls day. It was going to be perfect! Dying hair, drinking port, listening to music and eating Mochi. Me and my bestie went to a "License entry only" Hair supply store, searching for Pravana. This place didn't carry it, but apparently Joico came out with a few new colors. Since I'm trying to go this orange:
I figured a hair dye that looked like this out of the tube would do fantastic.
So after I bought everything we went back and stripped my hair with the Rusk kit, and it turned out yellow/blonde from my roots.
By the way I seriously recommend
Rusk Elimin8.
We applied Vero K-Pak color in Copper Flame 7FOR.
After washing it out it of course turned out darker than expected.
So I color stripped it. Again. Using 3 different color strippers. Why? Because i'm stupid when I inhale too many fumes in one week.
I also applied a protein filler and deep conditioner at this point and let it sit a few days. After the long break, I applied Joico Color Intensity in Orange and let it sit for about two hours. Let me just say how upset I am at this point. I didn't want to have to buy Manic Panic Electric Lava, but I ordered it offline as a backup. Shipping takes forever apparently so I stuck some red in my hair at the tips and hopefully I can leave it alone until it gets here.
So It's super light, but I recommend it to people who like Manic Panic Electric Tiger Lily. It's pretty similar and i've heard this lasts a long time when you're taking care of it.
