If shampoo and conditioner makes those awesome shades fade out, you can try to skip them to preserve your hair color. And you will rely on dry shampoo a lot!

2. The color only stays for a couple of days

After sitting in the hairstylists' chair for hours on end to achieve that perfect shade of purple you expect it to stay like this for some time. Well, most crazy dye hair colors fade out in a couple of days, thanks to your regular shampooing and conditioning routine. Depending on your luck and initial hair color, your awesome locks might fade into a dreamy pastel goth or into a not-so-dreamy shade of “what were you thinking”. But you always have a choice...

3. When you do wash your hair, it will be memorable

There is one trick which makes your hair stay clean and bright colored: washing in cold water. When you have to get a cold water shower in a cold winter morning you will cringe, but it will definitely worth it, because you will have shiny, green locks!

4. Crazy dye hair color, crazy fun showers

Purple or green hair is fun, but it is even more fun to look at the shower after you've washed your hair. If you have bright red hair, the shower will look like a murder scene. If you have green hair, it look like a grassy plain and if you have cosmic hair, the shower will really look like one of those amazing photos of the cosmos.

5. Green hair, green everything

The shower is not going to be the only thing stained by your crazy hair color. Your pillowcases, towels and clothes, especially when your locks are wet. However, as the dye fades out, your hair is going to return to normal and stop staining everything.

6. You must wear gloves

Most people don't wear gloves when they style their hair, but those of us who get pastel goth hair are not “most people”. And we wear gloves when we style our locks, because getting crazy dye off your hands is not easy. On the other hand...

7. Once you dye your hair, the color will stay

Some shades fade out really easy, but others stay with you forever. For example, green shades tend to stick to your hair for a long time, as well as red shades. Purple, on the other hand, is harder to keep.

8. Crazy dye hair colors require commitment

Girls who sport a crazy hair color are the most datable ones. Why? Because these amazing rainbow shades require a lot of commitment and patience. If you have the patience to wait for three weeks to bleach your hair before applying the right shade of blue, you will have patience with a man.

9. Bleach will become your best friend

If you are a natural blonde, you will have it easier to get those awesome pastel goth shades. But if you have dark hair, you will need bleach. Bleaching your hair comes with a number of disadvantages, but it will provide you with the base to apply any possible shade, from pink to turquoise.

10. It is all worth it!

All those hours spent at the hairdresser or at home, applying the dye, the cold showers and the extra care for your hair are worth the effort, because you are one of the few creatures who can shake their locks and reveal a dream shade of green, lavender, blue, pink or purple.
