머리 (Hair)

Yesterday, I finally managed to tick one item off my non-existent bucket list: blue hair! I remember talking about dyeing my hair blue back in high school.... though, at that time, I meant 100% dyed. This time, I just added some streaks. My American classmate (who coincidentally has purple highlights) was kind enough to take me to her hairstylist in Hongdae, and in 3 hours or so, I went from medium-brown to medium-brown + blue (plus gradient)! Because my hair was medium brown and I wanted blue streaks, he first had to bleach my hair. It was a little surreal to see my hair anything other than brown! After that, he washed the bleach out, then dyed everything "peppermint blue." Sadly, the bleach didn't fully take on all parts of my hair, so I actually have a nice gradient, from greenish-blue to teal to bright blue (the color I originally desired). Because it didn't turn out as anyone intended, he offered to remove the color, and rebleach and redye my hair for free it at my earliest convenience. Unfortunately, I have finals coming up midweek, so Monday and Tuesday were out, he's closed on Wednesday, this Thursday is a vacation day for him, Friday I'm going to a baseball game (which I hear is INSANE in Korea), then we're approaching packing time for Taiwan... so, basically, I decided on Sunday... only 3 days after the first dye attempts. I read you're supposed to wait 10-14 days between bleach attempts, so I'm a little nervous to do it again so soon.... but my hair ended up in pretty good condition (seriously, it's softer than it was before, I think). So it could probably withstand the second bleaching, but... I dunno. The (unintentional) gradient is kind of growing on me. So maybe I'll just take him up on his free deep conditioning offer instead, and consider re-bleaching in 2 months when the color fades and I need to get it redone anyway. Thoughts? :)
