Fun and Funky Hair Colors

I want fun colored tips or streaks in my hair......
This is something that is done a lot during "Breast Cancer Awareness Month"
Pink streaks are put in the hair to acknowledge everyone's fight for breast cancer. A great thing I might add.

Okay....how do they do it and what happens after it grows out???? is asked.... How do I keep it up?

But then there's the .... I just want to have fun and funky colors added to my hair not for any reason but because I want them....at any time.

Here's the deal.....and the how to's as well as the upkeep...Upsides and Downsides to fun and funky colors....


Your hair sections chosen will need to be bleached up to a very light color of blonde in order for the "fun" color to hold or show true color. Just the section or sections that are to be funky colored. Some very blondes might be able to achieve this without bleaching....but usually not....

Then a fun color is added to the blonde section and VOILA!!!!! you have a Fun and Funky color streak in your hair...whether on the tips or just a streak or two in your mane.

FUN and a GREAT time but it will FADE....you will need to make sure you have the product(tube of fun color) at home to maintain the color you have chosen. It does fade.....and everyone is different...some faster than others. It is difficult for your stylist if they are the ones doing this for you to determine how long the color might last. I recommend you have the color to add and boost as it fades at home. The blonde streak will not go away but the fun color WILL FADE.... keep it conditioned as it will last longer. And well the pool this summer will just make it fade quicker due to the chlorine.

At Home how to's.....
Okay guys just advice....will not be held responsible for any mistakes......
Your on your own.....

A frost and tip kit from the local store...or if you can get from a beauty supply bleach with 40 volume peroxide.....
Bleach area you want.....
do usual rinse shampoo...etc....
then add the fun color you have chosen...follow instructions

use the instructions......

NOW I might add.....how fun to have a choice.... there are extensions to add without the commitment .......

This to me seems like a better idea....you can change your color with your mood.

So.....you are done with the fun colors.....ask your stylist to color the strands that have been bleached....and voila....back to the norm....

Happy Hair!!!!
