Simply because I am to lazy to dig around the old...




Many who know me, know I have long red hair.




Many who know me will be shocked to learn I sheared a TON off, and bleached it blond.





Here are the last of my red head shots that have not yet been shown. Mourn for my hair, I know I do. ;)
 
Oy, I'm really going to miss the red hair now. It'll be interesting to see how you look as a blond.
 
I'll get to the blond pics. Also, I had an in between. Dark reddish blond with purple streaks. Yes, I know, that was smart. :rolleyes:
 
Gilly hon? Why would you want to change that beautiful hair? Although, I'm sure you look good as a blonde, the red looked so good with your skin. I'm a long haired blonde, and have often thought of changing it, but alas, not as brave as you! Hope you do like the new you though.:)
 
Well, it started out with me wanting to go blond for the summer. Now, the last few times I have gotten my hair done red, they have to saturate it in what is basically just red food color first, to pre-dye the hair. Otherwise, the red doesn't stick for long. Well, because of that, when I tried to put the blond in over top of it, it ended up a really orangish color. Then, I went and added purple streaks to it. Now, purple is a pretty color and all, but let me warn the hair dyer's out there. Purple uses the same base as red, only darker, so it's harder to get out then red is. For those who have gone from red to blond, know it can be hard to get out.

Anyway, back to my hair fiasco story. So, I go to my mother in law after fucking my hair up (my mom kept thinking the purple was a result of dying it to much, to which I informed her, the purple was on purpose). My M-I-L got out a bleaching kit, and I sat with bleach on my head for nearly 2 hours. When that was done, I had very very blond hair, but alot of the ends were still orange. Because of a time crunch, she put the ash blond in it (which is my natural color) and we dyed it. I left, went to my appt, and came back later. The ends were so fried they crunched. TOOO much processing in to little time. I think, overall, I used two home kits, a purple home kit, the bleaching and the salon kit all in a matter of two weeks.

Needless to say, my ends wound up on the floor. -sighs-


Anyway, here's a blond shot. My hair wasn't done up at all, it was after just having blown dried it. In other words, it is totally not flattering in this shot, but has since gotten lots better.
