Red Hair Attempt #1

I've been dying to turn my hair from light brown to flaming red after I watched Rihanna's Cheers (Drink To That) video. It looked amazing on her, so I thought it might look awesomesauce with cheese on me.

PAK!! Leveling!!


After a few weeks or so, I was tiptoe-ing around the idea of dyeing my hair and shaving the bottom part off (yes, exactly like RiRi's). My friends have been pushing me my butt to the edge to do it and silly skinny me, I gave in... but only to the red hair part!!


WANT WANT WANT WANT x9999


 So yesterday I trooped to the salon and had my hair colored. My stylist didn't want to bleach it because according to him, 1.) bleaching will fck my innocent bleach-virgin hair and 2.) my current color is light brown so the red will kinda show.

KINDA SHOW?!?! That won't assure me that I will have the color that I really want! But I just said "Mmmmkay" and went on with the procedure.



 

At first I was scared because the hair paste/cream/whatev was pink. It eventually turned bright red after a few minutes. I felt that I won't get the exact color that I want, but I was praying that at least I'll get a good shade of red. After a good rinse and blow dry, this is how my hair turned out:



It looks Mahogany-ish with a touch of red on the front part. Waaaahlau.

And this is how it looks like after I showered this morning:

Yes, I shower at the NN HQ! Lohohol


 

The color is a tad bit different on the photos. I don't know why. But whatevs, I'm bleaching this baby in 2-3 weeks. I WANT THAT FLAMING RED HAIR! I'm gonna rock it and when you see me, you'll sing Oh na na, what's my name haha sorry lame joke.

  6. Rihanna Flaming red means bleach talaga muna. Di kakapit sa unbleached dark hair yung matingkad. On the bright side, your hair still looks good :D

  8. Get semi-permanent color!!! Special Effects! It's better than Manic Panic and I find that unnatural shades of red stay longer than ~natural shades~ (like auburn, copper, burgundy etc etc). When I used to use permanent color, it would fade to a brown after two weeks.

    Upkeep is a bitch, tho, lulz.
