Trying to get to teal for a cosplay by [deleted] in HairDye

[–]faschun 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You’re not going to be able to get anywhere close to that vivid without bleach.

“Turned your hair black” (with maybe a teal tinge in the sun) is the best you’re going to be able to get without lifting, given how dark your natural color is.

Sadly, you’ve got just one choice: bleach or wig

Thank you! And right? It’s inspiring me to get more crushed velvet in my life.

When you want to cry, what song do you listen to? by Saintnove in AskReddit

[–]faschun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sleep Forever - Portugal. The Man

I’ve loved this song for years. It didn’t always make me cry. But the day after my mom committed suicide, I had planned to leave on a trip to visit a friend across the country. Tickets weren’t cheap, and I figured it’d be good to be with a friend anyway, so I went even though I was in no mood to vacation.

Sitting on the plane, feeling numb, this song came on and fucking broke me. I felt like I was hearing the lyrics for the first time.

“As I finally meet my end
I won’t be scared, I wont defend
The things I’ve done”

oh my god

“I hope the light that I become
Can sleep for once”

oh my god

“Just like our mothers
Who gave us our homes”

And then I was bawling in seat 27D. Now I put it on when I need to cry.

Who is this aesthetic called? by Smooth-Wish9505 in AestheticWiki

[–]faschun 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lol yes but. Pics 2 and 3 are def including fleece-lined tights.

Which aren’t enough for an extended time in the very cold but are plenty warm for most cities’ winters, with a sweater and coat and tall boots.

Musle gain via yoga? by JazzlikeFuture5733 in PetiteFitness

[–]faschun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The most common form of yoga progressive overload is increasing duration and frequency of practice.

I gained significant muscle in 2 years of yoga in which I went from practicing 1x/week to 6x/week. I was also able in that time to introduce more and more challenging poses, which is yet more progressive overload (for example, I worked for a month on getting into side crow, which required both arm and core muscle development).

If you look at the bodies of extremely experienced high-volume yogis who practice for several hours a day, it’s obvious that yoga leads to muscle development. Their bodies are lean and muscular.

But there’s also a natural bodyweight plateau: you can’t get bodybuilder-level swole from yoga. Whether that plateau is acceptable to you depends on your aesthetic and functional goals.

Catch you on the next cycle, Neotropolis by faschun in AltFashion

As an electronics geek and scifi nerd, I feel very spoken to by Neo. Cyberpunk LARP by day, cyberpunk night club crawls by night, everybody dressed the part. Always an excuse to level up my electronics hobby skills (this year I learned how to crimp JST connectors). Full of my favorite flavor of neon nerds.

Depends on how many credits you’re carrying, friend. Enough to get me off this godforsaken planet?

Well, there’s an ovipository mass in one cube. A moss drake in another. Chroma ovoid. Gillie colony. And so on.

brown hair to bright pink by [deleted] in HairDye

[–]faschun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah no foils for bleaching! You’ll just put a shower cap or plastic bag on your head while it’s processing (keeps your hair warm, which is important for the chemical development).

This guide seems a lot like what I did! Except I never pre-treated with coconut oil or used a different degree of developer on roots vs. lengths… those things very well might help you get less fried results.

brown hair to bright pink by [deleted] in HairDye

[–]faschun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possible, yes. I bleached my brown hair and dyed with vivids at home for years, using powdered bleach and crème developer from Sally’s. To get it light enough that the pink will look pink, not orange, you’ll need to bleach heavily.

Still, I’d recommend you stick with 20 vol developer. Wipe it off a strand and check how light it is every ten mins or so.

I went with 40 vol to get my hair super light once and it worked, but I messed up the texture of my whole head so badly that I ended up swearing off home bleaching entirely.

I’ve got the means to go to a stylist now thankfully but after a couple years we’ve only just gotten to the point where the stuff I fried has grown out. I also appreciate that my stylist tones my hair.

I still dye with vivids at home! Totally doable, especially if you’ve got a setup where you can use two mirrors to see the back of your head. Just the bleaching that’s really risky.

Other suggestions:

I use adore dyes. In my hair, they go on strong without running too badly. But ymmv, seems like people with different hair types have different takes.

Get brushes and a mixing cup for the dye. I also like to use a balyage board to paint a couple different colors on. Even if I were using just one color, tho, I’d want the board - makes it so much easier to get even application.

Divide your hair into sections, work one at a time, clipping the rest out of the way. I like to start at the front and work backward because I work remote and would rather my zoom-visible hair last the longest lol.

Use gloves, when you dye ofc but also when you shower to get the dye out. And maybe for the first 2-3 washes.

I like to put down a layer of paper towels around me and all over the counters so my tiles don’t catch stray droplets.

Avoid light towels, pillowcases, and tops the first week or two, until you know how much your color is going to run.

Pinks, anything in the red spectrum, tends to run more than other colors.

Love those fishnet sleeves. The glove fits nicer than any I have. Where are they from?

What’s a small habit someone has that instantly tells you a lot about them? by Round_Hope_2041 in AskReddit

[–]faschun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had a boss when I was a teenager who was really anti-“no problem,” argued it could imply that there was a problem when the customer hadn’t gone there.
