This was bleached with a Schwarskopf colour over the top in Real Red, it was a bit too orange for my liking.
Unfortunately the previous job was patchy, so i went over it in Red Passion, which i think i preferred, it's more of a pinky red rather than a orange red.
This was many months later, using Directions Poppy red. As you can see from my scalp, i'd only just dyed it. Obviously if you bleach your hair the colour will come out very very bright, but school would throw a hissy fit, they said this was too bright anyway, and they had stopped me from becoming a prefect.. how sad!
This is still with Poppy Red, but i was standing under my light. This is what it looked like in the light or in the sun, extremely bright and i loved it. However, school did not. I had to withhold from any more crazy dye jobs until i left school. Well i left school two months ago, i think it's about time i brought the dyes out again, no? (ps, my face looks horribly pale here, but i don't mind, i prefer being pale to being tanned anyway).
I still have two pots of Poppy Red left, although i don't think i'll go for red straight away. I've been toying with the idea of going purple. I've seen a couple of people with it, and i think it looks amazing, if done correctly. I've been searching on Tumblr, Instagram, Google and Weheartit (bascially anywhere with pictures) and i've found some amazing hair do's and i'm really tempted to go for it.
I just took these photo's from Tumblr, if you happen to be any of the girls featured, please don't sue me, i just like your hair! ;)
So anything like the these pictures will be great, i've been doing research into different dyes and such and i think i'm going to stick with directions, because i trust them and i know how to use them.
