  What’s your process for the blue-ing? Do you bleach it all every time? And what kind of conditioning treatment do you have to do?

  I had blue streaks for a year, and am going to have them (and some green!) streaks again in a week or so… I can’t wait. I love blue hair, and I love yours especially.

  @gilda – thank you so much!!
  @intrikate88 — The process:

  1. dye the sides and a layre on the front black.
  2. bleach the roots of everything else
  3. dye blue

  I do touch up in between without bleaching. Also I add blue dye to my conditioner to keep the fading down. I use Redken “Extreme” line – not only do the bottles come in cobalt blue, the conditioning is amazing.

  @zoetica- How does the blue in your conditioner work on the black hair, does it tint it any? Right now most of my hair is medium brown and I don’t want it to look grotty if the blue conditioner gets onto that… And I’ll have to try that Redken Extreme conditioner sometime, it sounds good. I use Aussie 3-Minute Miracle now, and that works really well.
