My hair...

[hmpf]

looks like something that grew on a tree in the rainforest.

I love it. I want to keep it like that forever. It's like I was always *meant* to have green hair.

I *need* to find a more permanent kind of dye. This will not last very long.

I didn't want to be blond after the green washed out. Also, I wanted exactly the effect I have achieved, with the original brown shining through. The result is something I've decided to call 'bog body green' - it looks as if algae have started to grow in my hair. It's still brown, but with a tinge of green that varies in brightness, depending on the colour of the hair beneath (my hair varies quite a bit in colour). It's quite bright in the sun, and almost completely brown in the dark.

I really don't like the look of green on blond; it's too bright and too even.

Does it really last longer on bleached hair? Does the bleach change the structure of the hair or something? Can I bleach without actually changing the colour of my hair much? Because I really like my hair. I mean, I like the green even better, but since there is simply no chance of that lasting forever, I don't want to change what is underneath it.

Oh, and Special Effects is not available in Britain. Or at least I think so. Actually, I've found a website that sells it, but they have only one bottle of green left, and it's very expensive.

When I'm back in Germany I'll have to find a new brand again, anyway, I guess.

Well, bleach is hard on the hair, so unless you're very committed to very green hair, then no, I wouldn't recommend it. But for all the punishment that hair takes when it's bleached, I have found that colour tends to finger for very long amounts of time.
