A New Year, A New Color

"If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead." ~Author Unknown

I have always admired red hair from Lucille Ball to Malcolm X. So, Naturally Sophia decided to become one herself.



Color Update! See above pic.


Yup I chose RED! ya know with brown not like fire engine red (well at least not yet).


How did I do it?


Well first I went with my staple: Naturtint. Except, it didn't color it red enough, it was more red but not quite red enough to be obvious. Now, to be fair, I only let it stay on my hair for 20 minutes. I colored it before work. It made a subtle difference, but not the punch I was looking for.




The next day, I came back and mixed some colors. I mixed Clairol 40 developer, Clairol Permanent Dye Reddest Sunset Red, Beautiful Collection Light Reddest Brown, and Adore Fire Red. Here is my disclaimer: don't do what I did because your hair can fall out or turn green. If you do it anyway, don't blame me.



I just did the part that was already blondish anyway because I did not want to bleach my hair again. I am thrilled with the result. It looks more red in person that in these pictures.





Now dear readers, let me confess something I am curious about but probably would never do in a million years. It's this:

Yuh Know? Fun Betty makes dye so the drapes can match the rug if you know what I mean. I mean aside from my fears of something burning or itching after using this product, I think it could be a cool thing to do at least once.

Wow! Our colors looks really similar!! You're right, great minds do think alike! I like the red on you, good job on all your color mixing!

Yes, red does look good on you! How do you treat your hair after coloring?

You color looks great! Now where is that eating popcorn icon when you need it? lol Awaiting the results of the uh...coordination efforts.

утром увидели страшную картину: весь двор в каплях крови, возле забора всё залито, на заборе пятна. Наша собака(ротвейлер 6 месяцев),видимо,хорошо грызанула какого-то хулигана, который залез на нашу территорию. Что делать в таких ситуациях? Ведь она вкусила человеческую кровь...

Надоели критические дни – смени пол !!!!! Подпись к рисунку: “Жопа. Вид спереди” У семи нянек… четырнадцать сисек Сколько водки не бери, все равно два раза бегать! (мудрость). Обделался легким испугом. Семь раз отпей – один раз отлей! Место клизмы изменить нельзя. Девушкам не хватает женственности, а женщинам – девственности.

Прочитал на сайте (проблемы компьютера ) положительные отзывы о вашем ресурсе. Даже не поверил, а теперь убедился лично. Оказывается, меня не обманули.
