Evening all, hope everyone is well, and if not, sending good wishes.
Well, it has been quite a few months since my poor hairdresser and I had a marathon 4 hour session converting my dyed dark red hair to a sort of grey.
The process went like this:
1)Apply bleach, leave on, rinse. Result? Sort of pink/apricot.
2) Dry hair to be ready for next stage!
3) Apply more bleach, leave on, rinse.
4) Dry hair, ready for next stage.
5) Apply sort of ash blonde colour.
6) Wait, rinse.
7) Result! Cut and dry.
Well, of course my hair was left in really awful condition, can't blame my hairdresser, but over time it's now ok.
So, apart from the odd dalliance with temporary hair colours, namely Silver (pretty good) and Steel (not so keen) I am now completely natural!
Most of my hair is silver/white, some of the back bits seem to be more iron grey.
It is brilliant not to have to worry about roots anymore, especially as my hair is very fast growing, and of course there is a financial saving too.
However, when I catch sight of myself unexpectedly, I don't feel I look like "me"!
Yes, there are more important things in life, (and I am currently dealing with some) but sometimes the way we feel about ourselves can matter!
I don't want to go back to high maintenance, I.e. having to deal with roots and regrowth, but would like to do something to give a bit of a lift.
Any ideas?
On the other hand Phoenix you could live with your newly grey hair for a few months longer, you may get used to it.
