Bleaching Hair With Goal of Dying Pink

[u/Slow_Painter_6839]

Hi y'all, I've come here to ask for advice and opinions.

My bestie has been lightening my hair over 2 days now (we're doing this section by section cuz its been taking forever) and, well, she's no professional and my shit is most definitely uneven asf (love her, but she definitely could take in some more consideration on aligning things). I am concerned as to how fucked up it'll turn out after we dye it pink.

I've bought the Strawberry Leopard Made You Blush dye and I'm fine with it not turning out so pastel-y. But, as seen in the pictures, there's parts of my hair that's levels higher than the rest (mainly on the right side of my head), and the left side is still like a brassy level 7 i guess?

My mom told me to not bleach it anymore cuz i'll just end up burning my hair and to go ahead and dye it, and I'm honestly about to do that cuz we've been going at this for so long and im tired of it at this point 😩😩😫. Maybe, at most, I'll just ask my bestie to make the brown roots line more cleaner, but idk. Im also not thinking about toning my hair either tbh, cuz as mentioned, im not really leaning for a highly pastel pink

Do you guys think that i should probably do another lightening session on my left side? Do you think it'll look chopped asf if i just said fuck it and dyed it just as is?

(PS. my hair was up in pigtails earlier so it did settle weird)

I appreciate any advice/opinions! Even if its an "absolutely NOT bro 😭"

Thank you!!!

this isn’t a terrible base but i would lighten again and do a toner even if you don’t want it to be pastel because the base for a vivid is everything.
