Going Red

[Ella77]

I think red hair is the hardest to maintain artificially in case the upkeep would become too much of a ball ache.

I am, of course, completely for someone going red; the world needs more redheads!

I think red hair is the hardest to maintain artificially in case the upkeep would become too much of a ball ache.

It is, I've been red quite a few times and generally gave up as it faded so quickly, it was expensive as I got it done at the hairdresser's.

I'll give it a go and see anyway. I'm ordering a dye from esalon and they do a subscription service, so I'll see how that works out. I am not known for being on the ball with personal grooming though, it has to be said.

I second that, despite being a natural redhead it is such a faff keeping it red these days (my natural colour has faded to an angry brown ). I was blonde for a number of years as that is much easier to maintain.

Red is so hard to keep from fading, I agree with everyone else. It washes out of my hair so easily. Except that one time I used a different box brand, didn’t love the colour as much and wanted it to fade

[Zoomer]

Yeah, I think Ive chickened out.

[Hazey_Jane]

Oh no! Why?

[Margo]

Oh, Zoomer!

[Lily]

Why Zoom? There's no better time to do it than during the Plague and if you don't like it you can redye.

[Zoomer]

Well, in the end, I got brave/bored enough to do it. I did order a colour one shade lighter than the one on the first page, though (7.45 vs 6.45) and I'm glad I did as I wouldn't really want to go any darker.

So, here it is, inside:

and outside, with wind:

I had told A I was going to colour my hair, and when I eventually emerged from the bathroom, she said: "But where are the other colours?" I might go rainbow the next time just for her.

[Glint]

That's a really good shade on you.

[Cosmopolitan]

That looks great!

[Livilla]

That's fab!

[Edith Bacon]

That’s lovely!

[Heebie Jeebie]

It looks great!

[Zoomer]

Thanks! It's quite different - I keep doing a double-take when I look in the mirror!

[Rosa]

That's a great colour!

[Annabella]

Looks fantastic

[Pippedydeadeye]

That looks really good on you.
