New hair!
From this:
To this:
I love it! It's very subtle, but looks so much better.
And finally one with my glasses as this is how I actually look!
I was really pleased with how it turned out, although she was the 3rd hairdresser to express surprise at the quality of my home dye job and the lack of damage to my hair from using it, good news for fans of Perfect 10!
Thank you, I have to say I am totally over any urge to let the grey shine through on the strength of this, my hair just feels so much better for a shot of colour!
Thank you very much! and thanks too re the scarf, I am never sure if they work on me, having more than the one chin I am concerned they emphasise this and make me look neck less!
Lovely colour! The highlights and low lights are gorgeous! I normally do a DIY job on mine, but I'm really tempted to go and have it done by a professional after seeing this x
Thanks Nat, I was quite happy with my home colouring right up to the point when I saw my Mums hair at Easter, she grew her colour out about 7 yrs ago and it made her look totally washed out, so she then took to home colouring and whilst most of the time it was lovely there were a few incidents that she phoned me up to have a laugh about - notably the accidental bright red! - she is now having hers salon coloured by someone who really knows what they are doing, she has an all over colour, hightlights and low lights and every 3 weeks her colourist does a combination of one, some or all 3 of those elements to keep everything fresh and multitonal, her hair looks amazing and like it costs a bomb, but whilst its not cheap it isn't £££ either and is so worth it! So that was what made me realise that I needed to head back to the salon! x
Looks great, sophisticated and mildly funky all at once!

Thank you, the other benefit I hadn't anticipated is how much fuller it is with the highlights, very volume'y!

DeleteSo how have we achieved this? Is this highlights and lowlights mixed through?
ReplyDeletePretty much, base colour on roots and then blond highlights and brown lowlights. x
DeleteOh, that really does look lovely... it really breaks up the colour and basically I just wanna watch it get swished!
ReplyDeleteThanks Charlotte, it is super swishy now! x
