    i was gonna suggest lavendel before i even found out that this was an actual poll option

    and yes that photo is a bit poorly lit to get a good result. I guess you could increase the brightness and contrast and try again maybe?

    -edit-
    Messing with levels and contrast and trout just enhanced the compression artifacts by a whole lot.

    I would be cautious bleaching your hair and then directly applying hair dye to it after. Bleach is the worst thing you can do to your hair. It blows all of your follicles open, so if you apply the hair dye directly after, the color won't hold as long as it should.

    What you should be doing is lifting the color of your hair out first with a kit from Sally's or something and then bleaching it, or it's very likely that going from a dark brown you'll end up with a nasty coppery-orange color, which isn't something you can just apply a pastel color to. You'll need to bleach it after lifting the brown from it (make sure to get toner and work it through afterward to make it nice and bright), and then you should wait a couple of days for your hair to mend before adding your chosen color to it.

    If you want a nice pastel color, mix equal parts of conditioner in with your chosen color. Remember that the dye will be darker than how it actually looks on your head, so don't keep adding conditioner to it or it will be useless.

    I like the light lavender color on boho girls, so it'll probably look cute! I would also suggest the Manic Panic brand for colors because they are the best.

    Emerald, since green is the best colour. I thought you weren't going to dye your hair this year anyway?

    i already did it for you bro, it didn't turn out well, and turning it up a bit less than to what ruined the picture wasn't enough to make the color very visible

    if i had like a super high res picture with great lightning, i could have done a lot more i guess!

    Such divide. There's clearly only one option.

    Rainbow hair.

    It's not virgin if you've colored it.

    It's possible to do both in one day but it's bad for your hair and the color doesn't last as it should

    I thought you dyed your hair the color that it is now. My bad! Good luck.

    I may do my hair this weekend, but just my usual color to make it look less dull and throw some moisture up in this bitch.

    Purple, definitely.

    Bleach totally ruins hair, so make sure to get some deep conditioning treatments to keep it nice! The ends of my hair are still really damaged and I haven't had any bleach or colour for atleast a year! But if your hair is fairly light naturally then the damage should be minimal as the bleach would require less time!

    Any bright colour will fade mega quick on bleached hair so I'd probably go for the full colour and just wait for it to fade and use colour shampoo & conditioner to try and retain the colour I wanted.

    I really like the blue and the purple! I'm leaning towards the purple.

    I picked blue, just because it's my favorite color. If it were an option, I'd advise you to shave your scalp bald. Not all of it, just the top, like George Costanza.
