Back in the day I had dyed black dreads Mohican style (ala Grunge). Had a hairdresser friend, and I had an “artistic” idea…
1. Plait the dreads
2. Wax the ends of the plaits (about 1″)
3. Bleach the plaits of dreads (ends being protected by wax)
4. Wash bleach out of hair
5. Colour my hair electric blue dye (only the bleached bits would take)
6. Wash, condition and separate the plaits
Finally, I’d be left with a wonderful, multi-coloured head of hair that everyone would be envious of…
Step 3. the bleach went on, and because my hair was already dyed black it took an age to bleach the exposed bits.
Step 4. Hair was washed. Wax was taken off. Plaits were undone… sloooooowly. Petrified expression was on hairdresser friends’ face. Snapping could be heard. And careful hiding of snapped hair could be seen (by me).
Step 5. Never happened. My hair was soooo FUBAR’ed that it was sooo dry it had split ends in the middle of each hair. Hair was falling out. It all had to be cut off after a week of me trying to “condition” and “repair” my hair.
Step 6. Funky “never to be seen before haircut” turned into a 1cm flat-top. LMAO
But hey, it WAS worth a try : )
go on guys and girls, better THAT!
