About my hair
My hair is a medium dark brown hair and was naturally thick, and fairly healthy. This is an image of my hair in 2014 before I started permanently colored my hair. Afer many bleachings and processes, my hair has a bit some breakage and is less thick than it use to be. Altho overall, it's in decent condition.
I've listed a table below of all the hair colors, bleachings, tonings, and color removing processes I've done to my hair. This table is a fun thing I put together for me to look back on. Nostalgic. And fun.

Bleaching my hair for the first time
I think the most I’ve bleached my hair in a day is twice. When I started bleaching my hair, I bleached it twice with L'Oreal Feria Platnium Blonde box dye and twice with Lorea quick blue bleach. First time with 30 volume and second time with 20 volume.
I know, very damaging and a mistake. But like anyone else bleaching their hair, I was bored, inexperienced, and impatient. This is the damage done and as bad as it looks, I still made it work and I still have hair. After playing around and experimenting with my hair for a few years, I know a little more how to better take care of my hair.

“Unicorn” Hair
Starting out with close to consistent platnium blonde hair, I used demi and semi-permiment hair color so it wasn't a permanent effect. I used the following to achieved the desired colors:
- Bright Pink: N'Rage Color Fiesty Fushcia and Ion Magenta
- Purple: N'Rage Color Purple Plum + Fiesty Fushcia and Purple Plum + Colbalt Blue
- Violet Blue: L'Oreal Colorista Indigo
I approached this as a trial and error. Testing out what color mixures made what color by apply little by little on small sections of my hair. And then washing it out and seeing the results.
Pink
I used 1 tube of Ion in Magenta and started with it first by itself and later on started mixing it with the N'Rage Color in Fiesty Fushcia. Then I alternated between the Magenta and Fietsty fuschia by themselves (I know the inconsistency of sticking to one color is too real). When I used up the Magenta, I finished the rest of my hair with Fiesty Fushcia.
Purple
I mixed N'Rage Color Purple Plum and Fiesty Fushcia to get a nice vibrant true purple. After each new mixture or batch, I tied mix a ratio of slighly more Fiesty Fushica to purple plum (i.e. 60% Fiesty Fushia, 40% purple plum). I felt the purple plum on it's own was a darker purple. Near the end of the dying process, I just used the Purple Plum because it was getting hard for me to squeeze the dye out.
Blue
I found that the L'Oreal Colorista in the Indigo turns into a nice blue after washing it once with shampoo.
The N'Rage Color in Cobalt Blue disappointedly didn't turn out what I consider was blue or the blue color I was hoping for. It was more of a dark purple.
