Hair post

I got a few Twitter direct messages a while ago on how I do my hair colour, it's pretty straight forward but I'll go over it anyway (there will probably be a lot of photos of me in this post, I apologise for the vain-ness)
Going to start this silly post with an FAQ:
How many times have you dyed your hair? I've been LOADS of different colours (pretty much everything bar green and neon colours) so I've kind of lost count on how many times exactly
Is your hair damaged from all the dyeing? No it's not, I condition the ends every time I wash it and I avoid hair products (hairspray, mousse, serum etc.) and heat like straighteners and blow dryers
How many times have you bleached it and what bleach did you use? I've bleached it properly 4 times and I used Schwarzkopf Live XXL in platinum blonde and Bblonde permanent highlighting kit 

What colour do you use and in what shades? I always use La Riche Directions cause it's only £3.50 per tub and last ages when I bleach my hair. I've used pillarbox red, tangerine, poppy red, cerise pink, carnation pink, violet, dark tulip, fire, coral red, mandarin and plum. I've also used boxes of dye of all different kinds when I first started dyeing my hair
How do you keep your hair so bright? Washing it as little as possible (as gross as that sounds) by using a lot of dry shampoo and using warm (not hot) water only. Also adding hair dye to conditioner with a ratio of about 1:4 and leaving it on for over an hour works really, really well and keeps my hair really soft ad healthy
Isn't your hair falling out from all of the colours you use? NO! I get asked this ALL THE TIME and it's so repetitive and boring. The Directions hair dye is a semi-permanent hair dye and is very conditioning. If anything, it's doing good for my hair cause it's just like a coloured conditioner. I only bleach my hair about 3 times a year so it's hardly doing any damage 

How long do you leave your dyes on for? You're supposed to leave the Directions dye on for about 15-20 minutes but the colour washes out a lot faster that way so I put mine on for about 45 minutes or until it starts to dry on my hair
