i love style needs to get their hair did

Aw IO that is awesome. Your are good ppl and that is now manifest--assholes don't get taken care of. Maybe you can do a mani for someone who couldn't otherwise swing it!

Mani-fest

Haha I've given so many free manicures. Pretty much for any friend who doesn't absolutely insist on paying me. And I will take dinner and a bottle of wine in exchange, so

I look a little crazy but if I buy a peachey blonde to go on top I can even it out a little.. I hope! Good god I don't feel like Lex, wow.

Oooo neat! I like it.

I had a dream a few nights ago that I dyed my hair platinum and lavender. I loved it! To bad I can't do it in real life. Stupid job.

Part of the reason I threw so much caution to the wind is that I'm in college and just working retail!

it looks excellent! nothing like changing things up every now and then

currently sitting here with 10min clairol box dye in my hair -- nothing v exciting, just dark auburn, which will hopefully be dark enough to get the gray out, which is all I really want. having short hair sure as hell makes homedying so much easier.

dyeing even

What's the best home dye to cover gray? I have very color resistant hair alas.

i know it's kind of the grandma brand but I have found clairol natural instinct works great, and it's fast. and it comes with a 2nd week touchup

idk, my hair is v fine though & takes on dye pretty easily so ymmv

FFM I like the ombre look on you, please consider rocking it for awhile!

i would, but it's not really gradual, designer definite sift about mid way down my head and it bugs me. Also the second my light brown roots grow in, it will throw off the hallmark exclamation point

damn this dictation software. if it types the wrong word, i can't seem to delete it!

"Whole look!"=hallmark :P

Oh Jesus I proofread poorly. Damn my lazy, anti-typing ways! (Using my new tablet.) There's a definite cut in the hair where it goes from platinum to peach, its a bit weird. If reversed I might consider it but it is SO blonde right at the top and the brown roots will make the whole thing look terrible IMO

also VG a few grey hairs aren't worth dying over! ;)

lol - actually the grey isn't really a thing with me I just decided to get it all dyed up for the wedding

it's a really rich red now, I kinda dig it

Nice! The people demand pictures, of course.

Missed it!It looks really nice, when's the wedding?

next saturday

Woo!

Oh WOW! I like that, it's so warm and bronze!

Gorgeous color! I've always wanted to give red a whirl, but after my one and only (disastrous) dye job experience, have decided significant color change is not for me.

Kinda wanna get some dark dark blue or dark dark purple strands tucked into my (v. dark brown) hair, but not sure if that will fly at a hospital internship.

Oh fuck it, I'll do it. But first I have to learn enough Chinese to communicate it.

I assume it would be easy enough to cover over dark blue/dark purple with some dark brown? IDK maybe not? Please advise, oh hair dye mavens!

I would assume you could cover it, but if they bleach it too severely (like I did! heyo!) it could be liable to fade to lighter brown until it's been died a few times, ime - but it's been a long time since I dyed my hair dark, and I'm naturally a light brunette. But your hair looks healthy as hell, so why not?

Here is a squinty eyed picture of my final hair (three dyeing/bleaching sessions! eep) looking quite a bit more even. Please excuse red face - cold outside & I have this damned cold; I hope my skin tone will suit this hair colour better once my nose isn't peeling from constantly blowing it :P

I have to figure out makeup for this hair colour, my usual lipstick looks a little goofy now (just wearing gloss in that picture though). I got a cheap cut after work to chop off the really fried ends, not really visible by iPhone camera but pretty obvious irl

Thank you for reading a novel about my hair, sheesh

I really like it!

i do too, you look lovely.

So pretty and strawberry-blondey! I think you have tons of makeup options with that.

You're all so nice! Makes me feel a little more confident. :) Thanks!

Wow, FFM that looks really good. You did a great job!

i love it! honestly i like it better than primary color red because it's gentler on your pretty skin.

It's funny: indoors and irl it's basically just blonde with a touch of peach; in the sun or photos it's the crazy shade you saw up there! I like that crayon red was so intense that it made my skin look very white (imo) but this is really growing on me. I'm even starting to recognize myself when I passed mirrors! None of the boys in my program noticed that I did anything, though. I guess it had been pretty faded for the last few weeks so it's not that surprising.

Peach is exactly what I thought when I saw that, so! It's beautiful - subtle and lovely.

V. Nice, FFM! As someone who has been through the how-the-fuck-do-I-get-this-orange-out cycle way too many times your result is A+

Thanks guys! You've all made me feel like a million bucks xox

Hey I got my hairs did ROYAL BLUE (well, not all of it, sections) and I am enjoying it. My first thought when it was being blown out was YES! MY MOM IS TOTALLY GOING TO *HATE* THIS! which is pretty lol for a 40 year old to be taking pleasure in disturbing her mother with her hair choices.

Alas, I don't think it is appropriate to be rocking blue hair in a v. srs. hospital environment, so I'll have those sections dyed over to like a deep plum or something before I start my internship. You can do that, right? Like, red+blue will = purple, or does hair dye not work that way? Hope I don't to have it bleached again.

Omg! Pics?

Yeah I will try to get pics! My hair is very dark so I need the right lighting to show the blue.

FFM and other hair dye gurus, please advise on how to make blue go plum.

Pics definitely! I think red or auburn on top would do it? But I'm very willing to experiment with my poor, damaged hair :)

That sounds amaaaaaaazing.

Definitely talk to a colorist about how to adapt it. Color theory suggests that adding red would make purple, but that might not be how it actually works on hair.

I think you'll find blue will washout pretty quick so you might be able to just use the plum color you want. Really don't see how you would need to bleach again w/ blue. It's usually red that refuses to leave ime

yeah I'd just use the colour you want to end up with.

My hair is a disgrace and I'm waiting on rich ppl all next week and I want to look sharp real bad! But I can't until my freelance checks come in (sent a week ago) so I'm just googling "androgynous pixie cut" and making a folder of slightly obsessive bookmarks.

my hair is a complete and total mess too, and i just have to make the appointment but i don't want to and also getting my hair done makes me feel like such a jackass. i wish i could feel ok just letting it be but i don't. it's like the last frontier of things i gaf about :-/

will probably wait a week or two still just to really drag it out
