What if I would dye my dark hair a weird color<\/strong>, let\u2019s say light blue, for instance? At first I thought it was just one of those absurd ideas I sometimes get, and that after a while I\u2019d simply forget, not convinced enough to take action. But I\u2019ve been thinking about dyeing my hair a peculiar, original color, to add a really cool touch to my usually quite basic look, since January. At first I thought of gray: very chic, and definitely on trend, and quite neutral to match my entire wardrobe. But then I saw this photo of a girl on Pinterest: from the back, very long hair, dark like mine at the roots, but gradually taking on a blue tone until it became a clear light blue, like the sky. Marvellous. I definitely wanted it.<\/p>\n

So: the hairdresser. I needed a specialist in unique colors<\/strong> (I went to Roots Milano<\/a>, following the advice of a friend with extravagant hair) so as not to end up with a disaster on my head. I booked an appointment and arrived at the salon buzzing with excitement\u2026then I was hit with the harsh reality. IT CAN\u2019T BE DONE. But how? Why? Very simple: because if like me, you have very dark, or moreover black dyed hair, you can never dye your hair light blue<\/strong> \u2013 or lilac, or pastel pink, or any other cool shade that you can think of. At least if you don\u2019t want to ruin your hair by bleaching it several times<\/strong>, stressing it to the point that the fibers die and you find yourself with straw-like hair. Sure of the color you wanted. But is it really worth it?<\/p>\n
