Just a quick hair update. The food coloring dye only lasted for a wash. After that I dyed my hair ash grey again, but it didn't last very long because I had packets of kool-aid lying around and I threw a packet of black cherry on my bangs. Big mistake. It turned kind of pink but mostly really gold. Afte another wash it was just gold. It looked kind of gross.
I bought a box of Fresh Light Champagne Pink hoping that it'd kind of work.

My deal with Japanese dyes is that it never stays on my hair for longer than a week. I like their dye-in-a-box colors a whole lot but they're so temporary.

End result is a nice pinkish blond, which I really liked. But in some parts it looks a lot yellower, as if there's a temporary pink covering the yellow gold underneath.
I washed my hair for the first time today after dying it and I can already see it fading a little. Disappointing! I don't know what I can do to make the color more permanent. Redying my hair once every few months I can understand but once a week to keep a color is too much of a stretch!
I want pink hair forever.
Love, Kaia
