Can you explain how you do your hair purple? It's so pretty!

I bleach with 20 volume developer and wella blondor? powder in thin sections between foils. I process for 30 to 40 minutes depending on how it lifts. I do it all over again if it's still orange. I don't do more than 3 bleaches in one day. I have really think hair so I would avoid bleaching it so many times if your hair is fine. If my hair still orange I'll use a blue shampoo to tone. If it’s still not light enough I'll wait 4 or 5 days then bleach again. I like to get as light as I can before I apply any purple. I used to use the color wild flower from special effects for the color but it was discontinued so now I use a mix of IroIro violet and Lime Crime genie dyes. I use a lot of dye to saturate everything. I’ll put a plastic bag on my head and then leave it in for like 6 hours. I’ll rinse it out and blow dry it.

My alone feels so good. I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.

art by José Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros

Death and the Maiden (Der Tod und das Mädchen in German) was a common motif in Renaissance art, especially painting and prints in Germany. The usual form shows just two figures, with a young woman being seized by a personification of Death, often shown as a skeleton. Variants may include other figures. It developed from the Danse Macabre with an added erotic subtext.
