I'd personally reccomend doing chunks of each color, not mixing the two.

You can do a test strand to see if the mixing of the two colors would turn out a nice shade. Just bleach the last 1-2 inchs on a strand of hair, then mix just enough of the two colors for he tst strand, and try it.

Maybe it would turn a beautiful purple or it could look really ookey. Worth a try if your willing though. :i9:

You could always mix a bit of the two in a bowl to get an idea of what it will look like. In my experience, your hair usual comes out the same color as it is in the bottle (or not that much different). You could also try painting the mixture on some blonde human hair to test the color on actual hair.

Something tells me the green in the turquoise would make the whole thing a bit of a nasty colour.

SFX is a lot darker in the bottle than it comes out on the hair so it's kinda hard to tell what colour it'll come out as.
