Accidental Pony

When one wishes to become blonde, they must follow a simple three-step process:
1) Bleach the shit out of your hair
-this step lifts any coloring or pigmentation in your hair, leaving a lighter color. If you start with dark hair (as I did) then after bleaching, the hair is orangey, yellowy, and brasstastic. Not so hot.
2) Toner
-to correct the orange/yellow nastiness, you must apply a purple (not blue! blue don't do shit!) toner to your hair. It counteracts the orange and yellow tones and diminishes them, leaving a very pale yellow or white.
3) Condition like a motherfucker.
-After double processing your hair, you have to use ridiculous amounts of deep conditioner to make sure it doesn't break, snap, or fall out.

Now, I am a pro at this three-step thing as I have been repeating it once every month or two for as long as my hair has been blonde (minus the dark-haired interims) However, on my most recent bleaching endeavor, I decided to add a bit more purple to my toner. This is where things went horridly awry. The purple overbalanced the pigments in my hair and left a pastel shade. My hair is now an unsettling shade of periwinkle.

I, by complete accident, now look like a My Little Pony.

 The braided look is exciting, but still. Purple.

All straightened out, my hair transforms me from a pony into a sex panther. Observe:

Mhmm girl, you better watch yo man when I walk by!

Pahaha.
Oh God...
