It took five weeks of bleaching but I finally was able to safely bleach my ends and then dye them purple and blue. I used Arctic fox semi-permanent purple. It last for about 3 weeks and rinses out lighter each time. The blue fades to a grey so I am not a fan but the purple stays rich and bright. And I can put more on, cap it and I am good to go after a hour of recoloring my purple ends. Arctic fox also conditions as it put the color on and it smells like grape soda. Quarantine hair don't lie.
I was asked if I could to make a George Strait mask last week. I did not know who he was but dove into the project. The client has cancer and this was on her bucket list. She used to go to his concerts and listens to his music saving all her money to do that. She worked her whole life in a taco shell making factory in Wisconsin. Right after she retired she got the cancer diagnosis.
To make the mask I used iron on transfer for the photo and the text. I put it on cotton and tested it for washable and breathable. I used flesh colored elastics. She will wear this during her chemo treatments. She loves this musician. She was overjoyed to receive this mask of her hero. And I enjoyed the sewing challenge.
