More vanity.

The following photograph may contain Steer Roast spoilers. You probably don't care, but I cut tagged it just in case.



I went all out and had it done at Judy Jetson's. Expensive, but oh my god squee. Depending on my mood, it's either my "I've followed my exercise routine for a month" haircut or my "Muahhahahahahahaha I am unfirable!" haircut. Either way, it rocks. kilroi  says this picture looks like I am going to stab you through the internet, so, watch out I guess. I wonder how hard it would be to dye my eyebrows...

Oh my gahd, is Judy's really worth it? I want to make my hair that dark dark true purple and it will be impossible to do it myself and I kind of want to shill out the big money for it. But, I dont know! Aaaah~

Also you look badass. The end.

Can you describe more about what you mean by "dark true purple"?

I know *all about* dying hair purple, in many shades, and I consider my own to be "dark true purple", so I might be able to give advice.

You beat me to it!

So... the amount of money was kind of obscene, although from the scraggly mess I was starting with, totally worth it. I know that badoingdoing does her own dark purple hair, and it looks really good. Ask me again in a few weeks when I see whether or not it's still that awesome in a while. I saw Nicole; she did a great job with the bleach, with the dye, and actually with cutting my hair too. There's so much less of it, and it looks better for it! If touchups cost less I will keep going there. If touchups cost three figures, I will probably not, if I can find the same color somewhere else. I love my hair, but I also love food. :)

(Also actually if I think about the cost on an hourly basis, given that I was there for three hours, it's not more expensive than other salon haircuts I've had. But be prepared for sticker shock if you're like me and usually get your hair cut by your cousin.)

I am willing to touch up your dye if you like and if you use readily-accessible dyes. Probably not as experienced as a salon person, but I have done it before.

Try Special Effects Deep Purple dye. It's the best shade if you're going for that dark purple color, and it's also one of the best hair dyes of all time.

You should bleach your hair if it's not blonde, and use toner to remove any yellow/orange hue.

Just go to Sally Beauty Supply and describe what the look you want. They will help you out, but they might not carry the Special Effects.
