fishtail braid

I'm absolutely loving fishtail braids at the moment!  I thought it might be quite difficult but I watched a video on YouTube and it is actually so easy!  This is the video I watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smJvLUl89ko and this is my attempt! Mine isn't as neat because of all my layers but I'm trying to grow them out!!

purple adventures!

1. My hair - I decided to do a purple / pinky colour!  I used Directions - Rubine and this is the result!  I really like this colour and it lasts really well.  This picture was taken after 1 wash.

 

 

2. Aimee's hair - She had been wanting to change from the dip dye and go for an all over colour and after seeing my she wanted the same colour!  I used the same dye (Directions - Rubine).  Her colour came out more pink than mine because I had put mine on top of red.  Here are the stages & results!

 

 



3. Aimees Hair 2 - After 2 weeks we both decided that her hair would look nicer if it was more purpley!  When I did her hair this time I used 1 tub of Directions - Rubine & mixed in 1/3 tub of Directions - Plum.  This is the result and I love this colour!!

Total fail.

So randomly decided to chuck a different colour on as I was getting bored and fancied a change. I bought L'oReal Feria - Mango Intense Copper

 

 

It's quite different I know but I just think this colour is gorgeous! My hair was quite faded anyway so I just figured I would put it over the top as it has peroxide in it anyway.  But no, this didn't quite turn out the way I planned.

 



A bit multi tonal!  I changed it back again the next day haha!

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 the bleach to her hair the pink just seemed to come out straight away!  The tricky part is to get the best shade of blonde so that the turquoise will turn out right.  If it is white blonde it will turn out more greeny and gingery blonde will go more blue!

 

I used Crazy Color - Peacock Blue on Aimee's hair and this is the result...!

 

 

I am so in love with this colour and so jealous!  It has lasted really well, she came round for a top up after 3 weeks but I didn't even think it really needed done...!

 

Another post coming up! x
