How do I get my hair this color?

I know the girl in this picture is kinda scary, but i love the hair color. What products should I use? How long to leave it on for? How do I make it last as long as possible?

Go to a hairdresser with the picture....you won't get the results you want by yourself! It is way worth paying for this service.How do I get my hair this color?
Obviously, bleach. As far as color, there are these:

It also sort of looks like the cupcake pink from Special Effects, only faded:

Leave it on for the time the instructions say. If the color of the dye is the color you want, then you want to leave it on for THAT amount of time. If you're looking for a paler color, say of the cupcake pink up there, leave it on for less time.



If you want it to last longer, try to wash your hair in cold water/wash your hair less. You could try the other line of manic panic dye, called the ';amplified'; formula (they have cotton candy pink with that). It is supposed to last 30% longer (according to the website).



If you want the black, just comb in black dye underneath, focusing on the side parts where it shows most. Do some beneath your bangs, if you have any. Don't go too wild with the black! Clearly she only has a little!
You have to bleach your hair first. Bleach is extremely tricky to do on your own. If you can. go to a professional to get it bleached. If you want to do it on your own, go to the drug store and get 2 or 3 bottles of very high potency bleach. Follow the directions for how long to leave it in your hair. You will probably have to do it 3 or 4 times before it will be light enough. And, to avoid really bad hair damage, you should wait about a week in between each bleaching.



Honestly, from the picture it looks like she dyed it neon pink and it faded, but I'm sure you could find a similar color. Just go to the drugstore and look around, or bye from manic panic.



Then get some black dye and dye the layer underneath, and you're good to go :)
