[art?] adventures in animal fibres

[kaberett]

Please forgive the generally unflattering photo and the terrible posture and so on and so forth, but: I've been meaning to post about this for at least a year now and consistently failing to do so, so, here at last is a picture of what A currently has done to his hair. (Just the long side. The other side's an undercut, and there's a bit of an undercut on this side too.)

From top to bottom, the dyes are:
Directions Vermillion Red (we experimented with Postbox Red but it's just consistently hot pink on him, which is great when he wants bi pride hair but less good for this job)
Directions Tangerine (which will turn less red and more identifiably orange over the next week or two)
Crazy Color Canary Yellow
Directions Apple Green
Directions Turquoise
Directions Midnight Blue
Directions Neon Blue (which goes pretty purple-y on A's hair)
Directions Plum

I'm still not super happy with how I'm managing the red-to-green gradient round at the very front but I did a better job this time than I have in the past and because this sort of thing's progressive I think it will be better still time after that. I continue mildly annoyed at both the bits I STILL manage to miss with the bleach and the fact that I'm still so annoyed by it because I think literally no-one else notices. But, and also, I've been doing this for a while now and the "oh no I've ruined everything" phase is getting gradually shorter each time!

A has a LOT of hair.

that being said, it looks amazing.

[kaberett]

Still less than me! Which I think skews his sense of what's normal. ;)

Ooh, lovely!

[worlds_of_smoke]

oh my fucking god that is absolutely amazing. I'm fucking jealous as hell!!!

Lisa just passed by and saw this and I think if I were not consistently frightened of messing up she'd be asking for a similar job right now out of sheer envy.

That is a lovely rainbow effect, and it looks like it turned out well, even if you or he have some quibbles with it.

It'll be a while before I have that much hair.

This week, I took my very first step towards being a ponytail-owner and - for the very first time in my life - secured a hair elastic around the quarter of my hair that now scrapes into a sort of pony-coccyx.

[doseybat]

Wow! The rainbowy!
