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 the second picture - yellow, orange then orange-red!!  Reminded me of Hayley William's fire hair which is never a bad thing!

This is how its faded after 3 washes

 

It lasts quite well but I think it looks dull quickly so I will be changing again this weekend!  I got these results because I applied over pink hair.  However, if applied over bleached blonde hair I don't think you will get similar results.  The results you get will be like a copper-orange.

dip dye / ombre

hi guys :)

So I have really wanted to try out the dip dye look for a while now but you mainly see it on blonde / brown hair rather than bright red hair :/.  I have seen a couple of pics of people with red hair and orange tips and I love this combination so decided to try it for myself!  I only wanted to do a small amount on the tips and this is the result I got...

How To Achieve

For the tips I used Fudge Paintbox - Goldfinger and I also had to top up the red in my hair and decided to use Manic Panic - Rock 'n' Roll Red which I haven't tried before...

voila!

if anyone decides to try this out for themselves send me a picture i'd love to see :)

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 my hair cut (desperately needed!) and got a fringe too! 

Here's some picturesss....

The colour is probably closest to the top picture :)
