All I wanted was lighter brown/dirty blonde hair

My mother’s friend Joanna said the bravest thing I did in Africa was get my hair cut but I think actually the bravest/stupidest thing I have done was try to lighten my medium brown hair just a tad.

                                                    

First Result: Orange with blonde roots (Light brown dye)

                                                          

Second:                                                                                         Third:

Strawberry Blonde (Bleach + light brown)                    Redhead (brown wash-out  dye)

I finally sought professional help who said red is remarkably hard to get rid of. The plan was dark brown and and the result….

 

Dark brownish purple
