Peacock Inspired Subtle Manic Panic Blue and Purple Ombre Dyed Tips

With 30 right around the corner (RIGHT around the corner) I have found myself reflecting back on how I've changed through the years.  Its almost been 13 years since I was in high school!  That is absolutely mind-boggling since in a lot of ways I feel very much the same.  My interests and hobbies haven't changed very much and with many I doubt that they ever will.  In fact, many things I enjoy today I've enjoyed since way before high school.  This past Halloween I found some awesome pins of people with funky colored hair and fell back in love.  In high school/college I would periodically dye my hair red, blue and purple with Xtreme Effects semi-permanent hair dye.  I have fairly dark brown hair and I loved how the "weird" hair colors over my natural hair produced a subtle but noticeable change.  My friend Kelly recently came into work with the ends of her highlighted hair dip dyed in a purple/pink color and it was a great reminder of how much I loved dying my hair.  I originally got only "Purple Haze" purple dye from Manic Panic. I loved the color but  I found it didn't really last too long and it was super subtle- only noticeable in sunlight.  I went back again and got "After Midnight" blue Manic Panic dye and was a little disappointed with the results - I guess in the front of my head my hair was a bit lighter and while the dye was dark blue, it came out teal when my hair was lighter.  I over dyed the blue tips with the purple (I still have tons left of both) and it came out awesome.  It only lasted about a week and a half but I will most definitely be doing it again.
