Deep Purple Beginnings (partial pre-bleach)

[For this] I decided on Deep Purple. My good friend bleached my roots for me ( i didn't trust myself with that) and she put the purple over the white-blonde roots and nearly hot pink-rest-of-my-hair. The Purple took beautifully! It started out nearly black, and once it got to a true-blue toned purple it hardly faded. In the shower, it was like bathing in kool-aid, and for the first few days i had a purple glow to my skin. I kept that from mid-October (for homecoming!) until early February.
