it's a crappy cell phone shot

but here's a preview of the new hair color. It's a semi-perm dye, so it won't be around for long unless I work to maintain it.

Oh, I like it! You look really cute as a redhead!

It's growing on me as well. I'm not going "oh my gods, it's so dark" anymore.

I think that like my beloved husband, you can get a little washed out by the blonde hair -- the red really pops and brings out your eyes. (He has a red beard to do it for him, which wouldn't look nearly as good on you.)

*giggles at the thought of being a bearded lady*

I also reserve some judgement until I see a better pic of it. The cell phone isn't that great of a camera.

At the risk of repeating my self...God, I love my work.

I was supposed to go to that...but my friend changed her mind and decided to go to California to visit a friend instead...she gave the tickets to her sister....blah!

s'ok. :)

[collwen.livejournal.com]

Oh that sucks.

Oh, nice! It's a good shade of red with your skin coloring. :)

That reminds me, I need to make an appointment to get my color redone soon... my grey is showing way too much...

A hint on helping the color last longer: use a color sensitive shampoo and conditioner. John Frieda has a lovely product line specifically designed for different hair colors - Radiant Red for red hair - there's color keep and color last - neither adds or deposits extra color, so you don't have to worry about staining anything. (You do with some of the other products for red hair out there... found that out the hard way. :P) Alternatively, you could try the line for blondes (honey to carmel) or the line for brunettes (amber to maple). You can find them at CVS. They are a little on the pricey side, but totally worth it! :)

I've got the Suave remix of the blonde one already (because of my natual hair color). They also have a red one that I'll have to pick up later.

[auntiero.livejournal.com]

Whatever works! :D Again, just be careful with the formulations for red hair products because they can stain if you get the wrong kind.

[collwen.livejournal.com]

staining would be really bad... I'll have to be careful.
