DIY Mystic Purple Balayage

The first time I ever heard about hair dyes I was a little girl. It was the 90's and grunge was the way to go. The distinctive makeup and fashion trends were coupled with a variety of hairstyles, including the chunky highlights of unnatural colours. I remember getting my hands on a pamphlet of Taiwan's hottest sporting the new trend. Most of all, I remember being mesmerised by the model who had amethyst highlights worked into her luscious locks. Since then I have had a burning desire to have my head crowned in purple shades. Despite yearning for a fresh new look and a dramatic change I had never dared to venture into the bold colours because I learned early on my black hair needed to be bleached first. The fear of frying my hair prevented me from reaching my mermaid hair goals.
