More dip dye!

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...

New hair colour & cut - result!

Well I dyed my hair orangey red a couple of weeks ago which I really like.  As I mentioned in my last post, I used 'Directions - Mandarin' mixed with 'Directions - Fire'.  I used the whole tub of Fire and about half the tub of Mandarin.  After I mixed it it looked a bit too light so I also decided to mix a little bit of 'Directions - Ebony'. And I just got...

hair pictures

Thought I would share some of these pictures of my recent hair adventures: 1. I dyed my hair pink again.  I had some Rusk Scream - Atomic Magenta left over from a few months back (see my pinky purpley! blog)  And decided to use it.  But I really don't like this brand of dye, it's really runny and stains the scalp. 2. Sock bun.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfMlMhSACCE This...

Maintenance

Here's my top tips to help maintain your colour :] (it's a long one!) : Minimal Hair Washing - I normally wash my hair 3 times a week (every other day) but if you can avoid washing less than this then theres less chance of your colour washing out! (simple really :P) Weekly Dyeing -  Even only washing my hair 3 times a week is enough to make my hair fade from red to more of a pink. So I need to dye it once a week or 2 weeks at a push! Quality Shampoo - A lot of shampoos...

blonde to red

so, for my 21st birthday i decided i wanted to go from brown to blonde!  well, lets just say it didn't go so well...  i had been blonde before and knew what i needed to use but as my hair had been bright red a few months before it was very difficult to get the red out so my blonde attempt was, well, ginger.  This is a picture of my hair the best i could get it!  It's more...
