I can't go outside like this. In front of actual PEOPLE Grin

Bless you, if nothing else you’ve brought a smile to my face!! Mine did this last month too and I’m on maternity pay and couldn’t afford to resolve it!

At least it’s a nice color and not bright orange like mine! X

There's a solution to this.... using crushed vitamin c tablets in clarifying shampoo. It does work but you need to use lots of conditioner afterwards.

I started out with the orange lol.
Tried the shampoo and vit c. Also lemon juice. It ain't budging. I guess it'll fade eventually. In the meantime, I'm a smurf Grin

Hmmm. Think people are avoiding my thread because it looks like another CV thread.

No! Brazen it out. Tell people you have recovered from the virus but it left you with blue hair. I like blue hair, by the way.

MistyWytch · 15/03/2020 13:33

Its just the roots that are blue. Was going for platinum and over toned it.

I feel a right muppet

Never mind your hair, what on earth has happened to your face?! Grin Grin

Bufferingkisses · 15/03/2020 13:55

Oh op! Honestly I would suggest some wash out colours. Create a look and then go out and own it! Flowers

Ah. Alien exclusionary eh?
I'm considered very attractive on the Asgard home world I'll have you know! 👽

Bufferingkisses might be the answer Smile
I'm not keen to bleach it any more if I can avoid it

Well it's only hair.

MistyWytch · 15/03/2020 14:00

I used to colour my hair all sorts of colours when I was younger so its not like I'm not used to it I guess

Which toner did you use or is it a purple shampoo? You could bleach bath it which isn't as harsh on your hair and should take the purple out or just washing it over and over with head and shoulders might help.

Or if you can dutch braid then 2 dutch plaits will disguise it a bit I think. Hard to see the length of your root area.

If all else fails then yes, self isolate lol

MistyWytch · 15/03/2020 14:43

I actually used a toning conditioner - clearly strong stuff, although I did get distracted and leave it on too long.
Yep. Think a bleach bath needs to be my next move. The Head and Shoulders isn't touching it.

OP posts:
MistyWytch · 15/03/2020 14:45

Not sure what Dutch braids are but my hair is pretty layered so I'm not sure braids will work.

Don't bleach!

Wash your hair with fairy liquid. I've accidentally done this before to my sisters hair. Fairy liquid will get it out after a few washes.

Noooblerooble · 15/03/2020 14:53

Torn between saying definitely self-isplate for 4 months or don't because the streets are emptying and now one will recognise you behind a facemask anyway Grin

UserV · 15/03/2020 15:10

That made me laugh! Grin

That alien cgi facemask is funny.

SilverySurfer · 15/03/2020 15:57

Never mind your hair, have you thought about some foundation, lipstick and eye shadow, you look a bit pale Grin

MistyWytch · 15/03/2020 17:34

It's a good point I can freely roam the deserted streets with my blue hair and pasty face searching for abandoned toilet rolls Grin

MistyWytch · 16/03/2020 10:18

So more washing has got me to this.

It's time to buy a hat I reckon.
