Pastel? Not quite...
I like coloured hair, but for me, it has to be a lighter, more subtle look for it to be right. I was looking for a light pretty purple that would be a nice lilac shade, just off blonde but still noticeable. Before I started, my hair was a light blonde with some old pink highlights (very light). I applied the Lie Locks dye all over my head, let it sit for ~40 minutes, and washed it out to find a very deep, almost blue, purple. I was absolutely horrified. I spent the next half an hour trying to fade it a bit with dish soap, laundry detergent, and numerous shampoos with little success.All I can say is I have NO idea how it turned out this colour, and I am very dissatisfied. Basically, be careful.
