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

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 it would look better dip dyed on her platinum blonde hair.

Anyway, here's the results!

Products used:

Aimee - Manic Panic - Hot Hot Pink
Shaunie - Crazy Color - Lilac (I also mixed a bit of the colour for Shaunie's hair with conditioner to apply at the top of the colour to help blend as her hair is so light)

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 :)
