My Recent Hair Journey

Recently, I had talked about going back to purple….

The steps I took:

1.  Bleach bath (30 vol developer) half bleach, half shampoo
2. 3/4 just bleach (30 vol)
3. One week later, another 3/4 just bleach (30 vol)
4. A few days later, a full head bleach(30 vol)
5. Again, full head bleach(30 vol)
6. All of my hair being orange now, I tried Color Jamz purple and pink mix….

Summed up in 13 seconds:

It DID NOT turn out how I wanted!!!

I told myself that I should have used manic panic BECAUSE, it sticks to darker blonde and orange WAAAY better than color jamz :'(

But, now….I have to find a magical way to pull money out of my ass….meaning I have to find a crappy minimum wage job until school starts.

Though, my life seems to be sharting on me once more, I must take it for what it is and not complain.

If you are trying to get away from black dyed hair, I'm so sorry to inform you….You MUST bleach it. I've tried EVERYTHING ELSE! And bleaching is the most efficient and fast way to do so.

ALWAYS deeeeep condition! Let your hair rest between bleaches and good luck. Hope you enjoyed either way :)

Recycling Accessories-Goth DIY-Studs

Got an old studded belt that fell apart and is no longer functional? 

                            

I got just the thing!

You will need one of these:

• needle nose pliers
• hemostats 
• butter knife

Depending on which of these tools you have will greatly impact the outcome. In this case, I have needle nose pliers:

Now, get to the back side of the studs and pry the claws upward and try not to let it bend out of shape too much.

Just pop it off and set aside.

Now decide what article of clothing or accessory you want to relocate the studs to. Now would be a great time to have pliers.

Just press the stud into the fabric until it penetrates through to the other side.

Using Pliers or crimping tool of some kind, bend the claws down inward and now you have a great start to a new project.

Recycled studs can go a long way. Be as creative as possible and really enjoy this project!
