HELLO WORLD! I'm back... Kinda. Anyhoo, those who follow me on instagram may know that I now have purple hair! -insert overexcited face here- I dyed it at 99 Percent Hair Studio at Haji Lane, a pretty popular salon here in Singapore. My friend recommended it to me, and they were having a Great Singapore Sale promo. YAY ME! It was a "bring a friend along" type deal, so Joey and I went to get our hair done! Some "before" photos, in case you didn't know about my brown ombre, which you can read about here (:

And this is what my hair looked like after dying the top part a lighter brown, and bleaching + purple-ifying the bottom:

MERMAIDDDDDD

It is apparently normal to dye it a slightly darker shade. This is so the colour lasts longer and gets more vibrant as time passes, especially since quite a bit of colour will come off in the first few washes. As the purple faded, it became more obvious in dimmer light. At first, it simply looked black / really really dark. The faded colour is GORGEOUS in sunlight, if I may say so myself. BEHOLD.

ISN'T IT GORGEOUS??! YES, IT IS. So don't be freaked out if it's slightly darker than you expect it to be at first. The colour had faded quite a bit but was still pretty visible after 2 full months. However, because of a birthday month promo, I went to touch it up again. Sensing a pattern here? Haha, save money where you can, cos good hair don't come cheap, hon. May do a post on dyed hair in general soon... If I do, I'll go more into detail about how I decided on the colour, the bleaching process and everything. We'll see. What colour am I doing next? I'm not sure, but blue or blonde are pretty high up on the list! ... Just don't tell my mother XD
Sorry that its shorter than my previous posts, but the service at 99% was pretty "up there" also! They had plastic ear protectors, got me tea, were attentive. Pretty great overall, actually. The one in charge of me both times was a really nice girl, Wendy! Her hair, and there hair of all the stylists there actually, is freakin ON FLEEK. I also can't recall the price, but both times I got pretty good discounts because of the promotions. 30 and 20% off respectively, I believe.
But yup, here it is, my purple hair experience! It's past 4am now, and I've still got a submission for uni later today, so ciao for now~
Signing off with sunshine, sparkles, and sakura petals in my purple hair,
Andrea (｡◕ ∀ ◕｡)
