Further Misadventures in hair dye

First of all apologies for not updating in almost a year. Things are still not going well and I am having trouble focusing on getting new projects up.

Now for the post!

Ever since Special Effects had gone out of business I have been trying to find a new hair dye that will replace it. I need analogs for all 6 of the SFX colours I used for decades (Fish Bowl, Blue Haired Freak, Blue Mayhem, Pimpin Purple, Virgin Rose, Atomic Pink.) Artic Fox seemed to be the one that came closest so I made an order.

The first time using it didn’t go well but the second time I was so pleased I decided to make another order. Well this time one of the colours, Sorceress which previously was a very good Blue Mayhem analog is a completely different color. It’s a muted purple instead of a rich royal blue.

I have been dying fabric and my hair for decades. The original version of this site had an article about dying your hair that was well received. I am fully aware that there are differences between dye lots. It’s normal and expected, but this is a completely different color.

So my quest to find a new hair dye brand continues. This really sucks. I hate this timeline for so many reasons and this is yet another one.
