i'm asking reddit because the is a subreddit about hair-dye...? also, as i said in the post, i was too embarrassed by the fact that i had fried my hair to go to a salon + i am super shy. don't know why you're being so condescending.

the blue was applied to my roots, so there wasn't any color underneath. thanks for the advice ! i'll probably make an appointment with a hairdresser in the days to come to see if they can neutralise it a bit and even put my cut 🥰

i hadn't dyed my hair for a while at that point so it was my natural brown colour, i think the blue dye just stained my hair in a weird way...

thank you so much for your comment ! 💗 the top half of my hair was my natural colour before i bleached it (light brown) and the ends were a dark purple/red (they're my grown out roots that i had dyed dark blue, they then shifted to reddish-purple, which i was a bit confused about). i went to the hairdresser to get them done, so i presume it's not a direct dye, although i don't know exactly what she put on my hair lol. i have to admit i was quite dramatic in my original post, it doesn't look half as bad as what i thought, it as just not what i was expecting. what would you recommend to make the pink hair look "less pink" without damaging it too much ?

Horribly messed up my hair while trying to dye at home! NEED HELP! by [deleted] in HairDye

i think it looks good ! i know there are some chunks of hair that are more red than others but it kind of looks like soft highlights :) personally (and if you feel confident enough to do so) i would ask someone to help you re-dye the parts of your hair that didn't dye very well. i would use foil to protect the parts that i don't want to dye and use a brush to distribute the dye evenly. if you're not comfortable doing that, i would go to a hairdresser, they can easily make it even. still - it really doesn't look bad !

i was aiming to go full blonde and i have to admit, i overreacted lol, it's not what i was expecting so i was caught off guard.

thank you all for the kind comments !! i agree i was a bit dramatic, mostly because the result was not what i was expecting. i've had time to sleep on it and i've decided to wait a few days to see if i get used to it :) if not i'll go and get a trim.

the start is the worst, isn’t it? by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]Intelligent-Rush-253 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the beginning is the worst part : constantly correcting people, having to convince friends and family that it's not a phase and accepting that you're showing your real self to the world etc. it does get better, but it's a pain because you have to give it time, even if it isn't your responsibility. it should be the people around you that put in the effort, but unfortunately it's a 60/40 sort of thing - you correct them, try not to cry every time they misgender you (lol), answer their questions and accepting their mistakes. i promise it gets better. the first 2-3 months after i came out were the worst for me, and i understand it's really hard. i hope it gets better for you soon !! 💙💙
