How Miss Britt Dyes Her Hair Pink. A Photo Essay.

by Miss Britt on July 22, 2009

The best time to make a drastic change to your appearance is right before you go and meet 1400 or so strangers for the first time.

Clearly.

Which is why I thought it was an awesome idea to lure Hilly over to my house Sunday night under the guise of hanging out and then proceed to force her into doing things that I am too cheap to pay for.  Like color my hair.

Perverts.

Let’s start off with a good old fashion BEFORE shot:

before

Wait a minute.  Let’s back this up just a bit in an effort to defend myself ever so slightly.

Before there was THAT, there was THIS:

before-before

See?

ANYway, so we started off with dirty blonde hair.  Dirty as in the color, not the hygiene.

pink-dye

bleach

why

Either Hilly was trying to shake some sense into me, or Google said something about dividing your hair into sections and starting at the back and the neck.

And yes, Google.  Because one should always alter their appearance before meeting 1400 strangers by doing something that requires a consultation with Google half way through the procedure.

Clearly.

google

Three hours later…

magic

So basically, the mushroom guy from Super Mario brothers farts pixie dust onto my head, and that makes the colors change.

And then we wash it all out, blow dry, blah blah blah blah and…

after

    Nice. Maybe Hilly can bring her waxing kit and wax MY brows. Cuz I am not going to have time, and it’s been months.

    It’s weird, but it seems like so many people are dying their hair pink now. I thought I was original. I might have to change it now. I’ll be easy to spot though, as mine is “slightly” pinker. :) http://www.twitpic.com/aup1t
    Can’t wait to meet you.

    The look does suit you. Unfortunately, once I read Avitable’s comment all I could think of was him making a similar post about dying his pubic hair. Now I have to go scour my eyes with steel wool.

    The only thing i’m jealous about blondes, you guys can easily dye your hair a funky color. I’d have to bleach mine first to really make it work.

    I knew you were freshly waxed in the first picture. My face stays red like that for hours after I get waxed! :)
    I like the pink, Pinky Tuscadero!

    Awesome. I used to have my hair dyed pink, which ended up coming out more magenta. It was great and I miss it — which is why I’m doing some streaks again soon, if I can ever get ahold of one of my hairdresser relatives!

    You look hot and should totally go all the way pink!

    Love it! Now where did you get pink dye? I mean I’ve used manic-panic, but I seen instructions in one of the pictures above and M-P doesn’t have instructions like that. that I know of. So please share.

    I love the look. Not anything *I* would do – but then, I’m not a girl – I have no hair – and I ain’t gonna paint my head. Although ……..

    So cute! You can totally pull off pink hair! I dyed my son’s hair purple once and almost got him kicked out of school. He loved it, though.

    Heh, that’s funny. I dyed my hair blonde with pink highlights back in May, and I thought to myself after leaving the salon, “This is what Britt would look like if she were punk rock!”

    (Now my hair is Blonde with blue tips. I look like a Caribbean island)

    Damn, I’m fucking horrible at guessing these things.. I thought that white stuff was sour cream and that you were naked the whole time.

    BTW, the pink highlights turned out nice.
