redbird: me with purple hair (purple)
([personal profile] redbird Mar. 26th, 2006 05:08 pm)
I'm thinking seriously about doing my hair in purple again.

The easy way would be to buy another can (or two?) of the B-Wild dye and do it at home. That produces an all-over purple effect (including, for a little while, the bathroom sink). But I'm thinking it would be cool to get purple streaks put in, instead.

I don't feel up to doing that at home. (Yes, I know it's possible in theory; I'm not confident of the results.) Does anyone either know a place in New York City (preferably Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn) that does purple/other non-natural hair colors, and does a decent job?

Also, any comments on the relative appeal of all-over versus purple streaks?

Addendum: Paying a professional to put in purple streaks would--as I should have realized--involve bleaching the parts that are going to be streaked. I'm not sure how much damage that would do to my (relatively thin, light brown/dark blonde) hair. Further thoughts/information? I've been growing it out for a couple of years, it's finally at a decent length, I don't want to ruin that.
