and then there was brown...

Hey Everyone,   I haven't posted in over a year now.  I have been going through some personal issues since my last post and was feeling quite down and un-motivated.  I didn't feel that my bright hair reflected my personality at the time and felt like it was too much effort for me to maintain.  So I decided to dye my hair... brown!!  I never used to think I would end up back...

orange red!

I had the pinky purple colour for a couple of months.  It lasts really well but does stain a lot!! I decided that I fancied a change (nothing new there!) and wanted to do an orangey red instead.  About 3 weeks ago I bought Special Effects - Hot Lava and applied it over the pink and these are the results!  My roots also went like a 3 tone shade which you can see slightly in...

Turquoise dip dye

Hello! It's been a while! I have lots of posts to add - I've been a bit lazy lately!    Firstly, my sister in law Aimee wanted to change from her pink dip dye to Turquoise.  I really wish I could get my hair turquoise but unfortunately my hair has been red for so long that it won't lighten enough! :(   The first step is to lighten the ends with bleach, when I applied...

More dip dye!

After seeing my own dip dye my boyfriends wee sister and cousin both wanted me to dip dye their hair too!! Aimee wasn't sure what colour to do hers but as her hair is light brown / dark blonde either bright pink or purple would look best. We went for manic panics hot hot pink! Shaunie has been wanting to dye her hair lilac all over for a while but as lilac can be a slightly dull colour I think...
