I colored it all sorts of colors, both natural and punk. Somewhere along the way it turned completely white. Fortunately, it's still as thick, but all white. So I don't have much choice as far as color (I'd like it to be somewhat darker, but forget it). I put a toner over the white and it's exactly platinum. The other day though I put a neutral blonde on it and it's just a little bit on the too-bright white side. So I'm going to put a toner over it to (hopefully) bring it into a slightly creamier/pastel platinum. But I was too tired today, so I'll do it tomorrow.

Your colors sound beautiful! I'm amazed by all the choices there are now. There used to be this stuff in the '90's called Hair Fudge, punk colors, and man, that stuff stuck like glue. It stayed. But it seems the company went out of business, which is too bad.

Do you know what brand your stylist uses?
Ah jeez have I asked before? My memory is such trash these days! Anyway your hair sounds beautiful!

My stylist uses pulp riot, but it is sold to professional salons only, so I touched it up with xmondo by brad mondo. I have a bottle of arctic fox that I’m going to use to continue to touch up until late June or so. I’m waffling now between darker purple or magenta. Then I can darken it when I start work again.

I did punk colors from when I was about 14 to 20 when my job no longer allowed punk colors. Nowadays it seems no one cares except conservative offices. I did it myself but I ruined my hair so I got it cut into a crop that I could spike up with the glue or gel. I for one think it was very cute! I would do it again if RS liked short hair lol. But right now we have an agreement wherein I won’t cut my hair off and he won’t grow in his massive beard that he had before we met
