For context, I finally figured out (accepted?) that I'm bi at the ripe old age of 33. I've never really expressed any interest in my outward appearance but recently have found myself wanting to do so.
Ok, so now for the question: I came across a blue hair TikTok filter yesterday (pictured) and now I'm hours away from an appointment to bleach, colour and style my hair. Am I making a mistake? Honest feedback is appreciated!
The photo looks amazing! If you're ready for the maintenance and the labour market lets you do it, then do it!
Aw thanks alex ๐ I only hope the real thing looks as good! I already take decent enough care of my hair, shampoo and condition it a few times a week, de-tangle it with a wide toothed comb, let it air dry and then brush it with a boar bristle brush once it's dried. I don't know if that'll be sufficient once it's coloured though? โค๏ธ
There's color safe shampoos and conditioners that will help your color last longer. You might even be able to find blue specific ones.
Thanks for the tip cabbagee! โค๏ธ
That sounds like pretty great care! I'd recommend using a conditioner that's made for coloured hair, otherwise I think you're good to go! (And don't shampoo it too often, twice a week should be enough for most people - bleach dries up the hair and so does shampoo, and dry hair means dandruff & greasy hair!)
