So we soaked and repaired and colored and repeated... The end result was ok. It's like a burgundy. I can live with it for now but I miss my coppery red. I'm going to get a couple inches cut off just to make it even. So here's a pic I had taken out during my Castle adventure where you can see the hair color in the natural light. Not too bad
Re: Hair result
I'm a natural redhead. Made the mistake of getting bored one day and going blonde. Turned out horrible! Dark spots everywhere. So, I finally dyed over it... came out almost black it was terrible. It was supposed to be auburn! So then, I went to Sallys and bought a kit and stripped my hair of all dyes... it came out wonderful! Still a bit lighter than my natural, so I got a color which I believed was identical to my natural red. Came out black AGAIN.. WTF. Stripped it again... then finally got a much lighter red and it came out exactly like my natural.
Lets just say, I spent a LOT of money and my scalp still hurts! Ouch!
Natural redheads shouldnt mess with dyes! lol I learned that the hard way!
I won't be letting bleach of any sort touch my hair AGAIN!
The castle was a lot of fun. It's a group of renaissance faire enthusiasts who get together there twice a year. We hang out, and drink and sing. It's a lot of fun. My ex BF showed up with that girl who used to be my close friend. Grrr... luckily they didn't stay long. I made amends with someone who hadn't talked to me in like 3 years, which made it all completely worth it. We sleep in the castle too... of course, it took me 2 hours to get warm even under an electric blanket and I only got about 3 hours sleep total but it was a LOT of fun.
Here's a link to the pics I took... (opens in a new window)
