Having an aneurysm over Strawberry Leopard

I’m going to start this with the fact that I’ve been dying and bleaching my own hair for nearly a decade, so I’m not new to this or the process.

Ok, every time I’ve heard someone talk about Strawberry Leopard, it’s always been good things, so I decided to finally try it a while ago. I got their Lighten Me Up kit and their Blue Steel. Bleached my hair and, uh-oh, it didn’t really do much, and came out super uneven. Tried to do the blue steel anyways since my hair did at least LIGHTEN lift my hair a bit and, uh-oh, it didn’t really do much, and came out super uneven. Frustrating, but oh well. Fast forward a few months, I’ve been fighting for my LIFE trying to get this blue dye out of my damn hair because NOWWWWW it finally wants to show up, and I’ve been wanting to do a different color… I decided to give Strawberry Leopard another chance and got their bleach again, as well as new color, Rock Lobster from Good Dye Young. I got the bleach sorted, and when I removed the cap… EXPLAIN TO ME HOW TF THIS BLUE DIDN’T WANT TO GET ON MY HEAD IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND IS NOW SURVIVING HALF AN HOUR OF 40 VOL BLEACH?!?! So genuinely frustrated and ticked off. I washed it out several times, and I’m currently writing this with the Rock Lobster on, manifesting with all my MIGHT that the blue lifted enough for it to turn out ok… If not, well, we’ve got the emergency iroiro 10 Black…
