Well aside from Sis’s blue, Lisi has a pink streak and Kat has been begging me to get around to doing her rainbow. Minus yellow, because “I’m already blonde, so, no yellow” which was okay, I don’t know how I would have managed SEVEN colors! Six was bad enough! Well not bad, just… interesting. I am NOT a professional hair dresser or anything like that. The only real experience I have in dying hair is my own, and every so often I used to dye or bleach my ex-husbands.
Nothing to the extent of what the girls wanted!
Sis went all blue, as you saw in my other post, Lisi has a streak which I haven’t shown yet but I will soon when I add her second streak tomorrow. Var will have a couple of blue streaks come tomorrow and I’ll share that when I share Lisi’s too.
So, rainbow hair! Wow, this was… an interesting experience in patience. I was cooking dinner (okay okay the oven and rice cooker were,) dying her hair, and trying to fend of ‘the babies’ (which is code-word for Lisi and Var, ‘the girls’ means Kat and Sis!) from asking me to do 50-million things while I attempted this. @_@
Sadly, I didn’t even THINK to start taking pictures until she asked what the back was looking like! This was when the purple and blue were already covered in dye. I then covered the dyed portions in a store bag which was held in place with a hair band to keep the hair up and away from getting everything a mess!
Purple is the very bottom layer, though I am sure you can tell by the stained bags! Hah!
I tend to get somewhat funky pictures of her at times, her nose doesn’t usually look that wide at the bottom. o.O I did just a funky pictures. Still, it’s so hard to get her (pre-teen!) to smile in pictures so I just HAD to share!
“Hi mom, can you hurry up already???”
Not really, she took the entire process fairly well to be honest. Even though I was being a giant dork during the whole thing!
Oh my gosh we’re finally getting there! I liked the view from the side and wanted her to see. Purple, Blue, Green, Orange, Red and… the top was going pink. I did manage to get most of the dye off of her skin.
It seems my petroleum jelly has disappeared so I didn’t have a barrier. Oii…
The orange did come out a lighter orangey-yellow, so looks like we got a bit of a yellow even though we didn’t really intend on it. Still, it wasn’t that bad.
“You mean I really have to wait an hour?”
Yes, I made her wait an hour after putting in the last color. Doesn’t she look so thrilled? At least we got to eat right after this!
After a very long rinse out and simple shampoo process,we decided to mostly blow-dry her hair dry because we’re impatient and really wanted to see the results! Of course we do, that was a lot of waiting already and I wanted to see if I manage not to mess this up completely. @_@ Scary!

Oh my, her hair reminds me of a my little pony I had 20+ years ago! It is beautiful!
aoikasan says
It does remind me of a couple different My Little Ponies, and she thinks it’s kind of close to the current Rainbow Dash’s hair!
