Purple and Teal Blue Hair

My hair as colored, cut and styled by Christian

Happy Teal Thursday! So on March 18, I went to see Christian to get my hair colored into a purple and teal blue hair split. I’ve never done a straight split like this before. I’d seen him February 26 to get a trim, before my PRK surgery. That was the first time after my surgery that I could get my hair colored because I finally felt well enough to leave my home.

While we used Pravana dyes last time, this time Christian used a mix of Joico and Kenra dyes. This is the first time that I’ve ever had them used on my hair. So far the color is holding up nicely. I really hope to try Arctic Fox dyes next time! Arctic Fox is a cruelty free and vegan hair dye company that I just recently found on Instagram.

Until recently, I haven’t really felt well enough to style it to show off the color. However, I am really happy with how I styled my hair yesterday and took pictures so I wanted to share.

I like my hair being wavy and slightly messy (though super straight is cute too). It helps give me the volume that I crave when it’s like this.

My hair twisted on each side to show off the color. No makeup.

Recently I’d been experimenting with ways to achieve wavy hair without heat. I watched a lot of Youtube tutorials and kept failing because my hair wasn’t long enough to work the way people suggested. Finally I just started trying different braids in my own hair and hit on one that worked. If you guys are interested, I can make a video to show how I do it since it worked exactly the way I liked it on my shoulder length hair.

Have you heard of Arctic Fox dyes? Do you want to see a hair tutorial?

  2. I LOVE IT!! I was trying to convince hubby that its totally ok for me to get some hot pink or purple in my hair. No luck so far. So I’ll just drool over your hair in the meantime 😀

  3. Your hair has grown out well. Pretty Phyrra. You look great!
    I used to have blue hair too, and purple once.
    I like the braids. Would you do a video tutorial?

  4. Your hair looks awesome.
    I’ve never heard ofArctic Fox, but I’d be interested to see the vibrancy and how long the color lasts. I’ve been using the same brand I used in high school, over ten years ago.

  6. Love the colors! I wish I could be that brave sometimes. It looks gorgeous, and I love that braided hairstyle. 🙂

  9. Your hair looks really pretty! My hair is about the same length so a video of the braid you do to make it wavy would be awesome.

  13. Wow! The colors look great! I really love the twists/braids that you did and your skin looks amazing!

  19. I’ve never heard about Arctic Fox! Your hair is STUNNING. I hope some day I will get the guts to do such a cool colour too but I’m afraid everybody I know will complain about it 🙂 Love it!
