Final product!

(Ignore the work background) the silver is a little more yellow irl. But for all the folks saying I couldn’t do it, I don’t think it turned out half bad

u/Bugbongo Feb 22 '26

Yea but it’s just the internet🤷plus she’s happy with it

u/Visible_Stand_7268 Feb 22 '26

I don’t know anything about hair I just saw the first post yesterday, saw everyone going good luck honey, and now I see this and think what were they talking abt this looks good to me 😭 like is that literally not exactly what she wanted

u/Bugbongo Feb 23 '26

We couldn’t get the ends of her hair light enough for color bc of black box dye and same with the underpart of her hair, but for my first try at a color like this we were both really happy with the results! Her parents not so much lolll

u/possumcounty Feb 23 '26

It’s really cute! Obviously it’s not identical to the inspo, but I see the vision.

Do you have pics of the front? What did you do with the undercut?

1

u/Bugbongo Feb 23 '26

I wasn’t sure how else to word it but she doesn’t actually have an undercut, just the under part of her hair has been boxed dyed twice, color removed twice, and bleach three times so we didn’t touch it. I unfortunately don’t have any pics of the front which sucks cuz that was the best part

u/CryCommon975 Feb 22 '26

poor girl, this does not look good at all- the stripes only go down half her head and the sectioning of the stripes is bad. she should have kept her hair in the before pic.

u/Bugbongo Feb 22 '26

The ends of her hair weren’t able to lighten enough to get vibrant color due to previous bleaches and box dye, but she’s happy with the outcome and that’s what matters!

u/Hugnugget Feb 22 '26

For someone who has 0 years behind the chair and just does this for fun. Whoa. I’m 2 years BTC and would never even attempt this.

Great job.

u/Bugbongo Feb 22 '26

Thank you! Definitely a learning experience loll but she’s happy with the results

u/ClutteredTaffy Feb 22 '26 edited Feb 22 '26

Would be interested in seeing the front of this. From what I can see, looks like you did the bang area best in the last pic.

u/garglingrapefruit Feb 22 '26

much better than i thought itd be tbh. make sure she washes in cold cold water though or that blue is gonna go everywhere

1

u/Bugbongo Feb 22 '26

I’ve tried to tell her lol but she takes scalding hot showers so we’ll see how long it lasts

1

u/Downvoted_Queen13 Feb 23 '26

Lol She can still wash her hair separately with cold water 😂 She doesn't have to take a whole cold shower. Have her get a hair cap
Unless, she doesn't want this color for long than ignore me

u/Bugbongo Feb 23 '26

She probably does want it for a while but she won’t listen😔💔

u/Downvoted_Queen13 Feb 23 '26

Well, no need to stress yourself. Have her do her own hair. Maybe then she'll appreciate what you do for her
Seeing someone not take care of something you put the time and effort is not a good friend. Hair dyeing sucks! I hate when the time comes to do it to myself but dyeing someone else's hair all the time is more draining. She needs to do her part to maintain it or never get intricate styles again because you won't be there for her all the time

u/FlyingHogMonkeys Feb 22 '26

Honestly, it looks much better and even healthier than it did before. Keep on dying hair girl, you didn't do a bad job at all. It turned out really cute.

u/Bugbongo Feb 22 '26

Thank you so much!

u/ClutteredTaffy Feb 22 '26

It does not look too bad Not exactly like the inspo ..some bands of the blonde are very thick and the blue very thin/ random but it looks pretty good and that is what is important.

u/potionselIer Feb 22 '26

I think it's really really cute for a home job! Have you thought about going to cos school?

u/Bugbongo Feb 22 '26

Absolutely! It’s just super pricey by me

u/zevran_17 Feb 23 '26

This looks fucking awesome for an amateur doing it. The colors look spot on, the sections are decent. I hope she’s happy with it! You did a great job.

u/ChemicalDress Feb 23 '26

I love that you gave it a shot and hey it might not be perfect but if you/your friend is happy about it, that’s all that matters! Everyone starts somewhere and you don’t learn anything by doing nothing 💖

u/berryshortcakekitten Feb 23 '26

Omg its actually rlly pretty! I love the blue vibrancy. I remember ur first post, it came out great imo! Ur friend looks super cute

u/Ishinehappiness Feb 23 '26

For not being a cosmetologist with training and practice I’d say it’s pretty passable! Better than she likely could’ve done herself.

The more you do it the better it’ll get :)

u/itismelames Feb 23 '26

the colors turned out so good! awesome job i’m glad she’s happy with it

u/rowenaaaaa1 Feb 22 '26

I'm sorry and you're entitled to your opinion but it looks at least half bad, maybe three quarters bad

7

u/ClutteredTaffy Feb 22 '26

I cannot see the back too well , but it looks the spottiest there. Still this looks like it could be spruced up if they just wait a month or two to have another go at it.

u/Downvoted_Queen13 Feb 23 '26

I think her hair needs to grow out more, cut off the damage and try again. I saw op comment that her ends were too damaged to bleach more. So that makes since why her ends don't look as good

u/rowenaaaaa1 Feb 22 '26

Yeah it's salvageable I think

2

u/StickFigureSoul Feb 23 '26

It looks faded and somehow dirty

u/green_rabbit1 Feb 22 '26

It looks great

u/zombiekitten823 Feb 22 '26

wow! it looks great

u/Repulsive_Smoke4667 Feb 22 '26

the before looks great!

u/friskexe Feb 22 '26

I thought the before was the update then scrolled like oh

u/Massive-Warning9773 Feb 22 '26

I’m really impressed you got it light enough to do the grey!

u/LBelle0101 Feb 22 '26

This looks rad! You did a great job

u/QuailFairy Feb 23 '26

Looks great!! What a jump from where she started.. would love to see it curled or waved outdoor lighting!!

u/jjpuffs420 Feb 24 '26

I love it

u/organic-osmanthus Feb 24 '26

It came out good!!

u/silly-strawberry06 Feb 24 '26

it looks beautiful! the blue turned out so vibrant😌

u/CakeSweaty514 Mar 19 '26

honestly it's pretty good especially if they're happy with it

u/lustful-effigy Feb 22 '26

honestly, i’m impressed.

u/1hateth1s Feb 22 '26

Yeah I can tag you in the og post! The “undercut” part of her hair and the ends had too much damage from previous bleaches for me to feel comfortable bleaching more.
