"These were taken the day after dying, out in the sun. The roots are Limelight and the rest is Blue Velvet with some Clairol Black at the tips and framing my face. The Limelight faded after about two weeks but the Blue Velvet stuck around four months or so before I finally dyed over it. My hair is naturally medium brown and it was bleached and toned to as light as we could get it before the colors went on. Sorry the pictures are so little, I had to resize them to fit."

" I picked up a bottle of Blue Velvet hair dye, and dyed it over bleached to yellow-white hair (I have naturally dark blonde hair, but I dye it a deep blood red with Herbal Essences...so I had to strip that out first >.<) It turned out FAR darker than I was expecting, but I grew to love its indigoness. I thought it was cool how it changed in the sunlight.... The first picture was about three days after dying. The second was about two weeks. The last picture is about a month and a half (six weeks or so) "

"...me with Blue Velvet and my boyfriend Boone with electric blue. I have natural blonde hair, and Boone has dark hair bleached light before dying."

"Everyone's been calling it purple. It's BLUE, people, the top 2/3 are BLUE. Or at least they're supposed to be. But for me, after bleaching to bright lemon yellow with 30 and 40 strength home kits, Blue Violet came out so dark nearly all of it was lost to blue shadows for the first week or so. It's been slowly coming out of its shell and showing me how vibrant it can be, but still walks that line of royal blue that in many lights (especially incandescent) looks blueviolet. I've been asked if I have black hair underneath the blue, peeking out between; 'No, ma'am, that's just where the lights are hitting it.'"

Emma is above with Iguana Green and Blue Velvet hair colors, dye job courtesy of "my wonderful punk ass boy Chris". This picture is after a month of having it in (she's got a little bit of roots) and it's still going strong!

"I took pictures of my own foray into wild dyeing. My sister helped me out and so my hair has stripes of blue velvet and of purple smoke, as well as some areas where the two colors got mixed before applying."
