So i Have been trying to figure how to cover the fiasco that is currently my hair.

I ATTEMPTED to do a Cruella style in red and black... went to walmart but couldnt find my normal brand so i went with one i thought would be good. WRONG stupid me got the herbal essences to go over my dyed black hair... this brand only took at the root and this was some bright red [disco queen or something like that]

my face at diff angles [that i have]
[not how my hair looks i havent been able to load pictures of myself in a while.. computer hates me]
https://modelmayhm-1.vo.llnwd.net/d1/photos/080726/04/488adda192f58_m.jpghttps://modelmayhm-1.vo.llnwd.net/d1/photos/080612/02/4850c8c295a37_m.jpghttps://img6.modelmayhem.com/070216/14/45d60a7b4dc5c_m.jpg

ANYWAY...

I am trying to decide how i want my hair now and have 3 styles, and 4-5 colors with black. I can't decide to save my life, my roots are driving me bonkers, and i get bored with simple hair and ill be wanting to change it within a week [you can only style one color hair so many ways; eventually it looks all the same]


attempt again with cruella?
-too many people i know have this and i dont wanna be known as 'copying' them [i used to be friends with them]

go 3rds to where the sides of my head will be whatever color?
-I'll be tempted to get an 'obesehawk' [mohawk just wider] and id have my side burns and another strip black on each side and whatever color middle of the black as highlights.

like this: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.c … D=47875983
- i might style my hair the same way but bangs drive me batty witht he grow out, even with clips. but it has been a while.

Now for colors [can be other brands but i like manic panic and it gives color ideas]

Infra Red http://www.manicpanic.com/best%20hair%2 … rared.html
-i LOVE the fade out
Pillarbox Red http://www.manicpanic.com/best%20hair%2 … oxred.html
-nice and bright
Rock 'n' Roll Red http://www.manicpanic.com/best%20hair%2 … llred.html
-toned down bright red
Enchanted Forest http://www.manicpanic.com/best%20hair%2 … orest.html
-reminds me of when my hair was blue adn faded green at the ends i loved it
Green Envy http://www.manicpanic.com/best%20hair%2 … nenvy.html
-another shade that faded into my hair big_smile

i was also thinking so shade of blue... but ive done it before back in my 3rd year of highschool [after midnight blue http://www.manicpanic.com/best%20hair%2 … tblue.html ]... but if anyone thinks blue would be good then im more than happy to try it again

Sorry for it to be so long but i wanted to give my best details.

Yes, i am trying to stand out. What makes things fun, and make modeling more interesting.

infrared fades EXTREMELY fast.

The other reds hold better, i've noticed.  Pillarbox red held on the longest.

i'm sure it does but at least it faded to a pretty red orange fire color big_smile

BUT i WILL keep that in mind cause fading is almost as annoying as my hair taunting my under my bandana

but yeah .. hair bugging me... bad. ive been wearing my bandana just to cover my roots and it peaks and taunts me
grr

I'm partial to the Chelseahawk, but you say the bangs drive you crazy . . . .

The Pillarbox red looks great, but for the full effect, you'd have to bleach first.

I like the idea of your hair, as it is, dyed Black No.1, too.

Try mixing it up, black and red, with an obese Chelsea combed to the side.

Of course then you have to come to CA. My studio awaits.

Good one for red is called Smart Highlights and they only sell it at Superdrug, but it has the bleach in it already, and if it worked on my dark/dyed black hair I'm sure you will be fine smile

Color does not lift color. If you went to a pro, they would have known this.

Sounds like you are several breaths away from a chemical haircut.

Pillarbox Red is one of the worst colors Manic Panic makes. turns that nasty orange color. I'd go with their Vampire Red.

Just be careful not to over-dye your hair.

It can actually burn/fry your hair follicles over time and in turn make it brittle and fall out.  That's definitely not a good look for anyone.
