I haven’t dyed my hair fun colors in … about 3 or 4 years (ie, when it was short.) And I haven’t had a haircut in about a year. So, I’m going to get a haircut in a few weeks, which has allowed me to be brave enough to dye my hair crazy colors again temporarily. It was easy when it was super short — worst case scenario, I just cut it all off again. Now that my hair is actually long… eee, no, my precious, albeit frizzy hair!
So, I decided to just dye the last 3 or 4 inches of my hair. I was planning on doing my old "dark tulip" that I used to do all the time, but Shoppers didn’t have any. Well, "Rubine" looked close in the bottle…
Apparently "Rubine" translates almost directly to "neon pink". Who knew? I am very, very pink. The picture doesn’t do it justice. It’s practically neon. I remain convinced that it looked way more red on the bottle.
Also: I would look better with a bit of lipstick on. And maybe if I let my hair dry completely before taking pictures. meh, whatever.
Nick thinks I look like a popsicle. Aw, thanks. Love you too, honey.
Dying just the portion that’s likely to get cut off is a good idea. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from living with a hairdresser, it’s that colour in your hair will affect the colour that goes in later. The more product that’s in there, the more work it takes to get it to the correct colour you want.
Oh, I don’t color my hair anymore. Other than the occasional bout of crazy. I like the natural color. :)
The only reason I only did the bottom was because it’s easy to get rid of when I get tired of it. Also, a whole head of pink would scare me, I think. :D
Need to see in person! It looks more burgandy/red on my screen. Do like the look of the coloured ends, though.
It’s got a slightly magenta tone to it, but mostly… yeah, it’s just very bright pink. :)
