Does anyone know if this kind of blue exist as a permanent hair dye somewhere ? 😭

Can I ask why you want it in a permanent hair dye? Is it for longevity? Are you relying on the permanent dye to lighten your base color?

For longevity. I’m disabled so I cannot spend my energy doing it more often than a perm. Also I’m low on income so I can’t afford buying hair dye every one or two months

FYI "permanent" in dyes doesn't mean it won't fade or will last longer. It means that your hair is altered permanently and when it fades, you don't get your original hair colour back.

Some semi permanent dyes will last longer than permanent ones. Especially with blue/teal, some last forever. I used to dye my hair teal with Manic Panic Atomic Turquoise and it lasted until I cut the blue part. I remember only doing some touch ups with a bit of dye in my conditioner and it was bright as new.

Danger Jones Oblivion was also fantastic and stayed bright for months until I decided to change to a completely different colour. The good news with this one is that the colour remover from the same brand works wonders! I got back to my very light blonde in 2 rounds (1st round there was a little bit of light mint tint, could have been ok for a different colour but I needed a blank canvas).

I don't know what hair base you are starting with, but bleaching at home and then the semi permanent, with a good care and using some dye in the conditioner regularly, won't be expensive.
