As you all now, I bleached my hair and am coloring it a more of a copper red then it was. I bleached it last week and let it rest for a few days and today I'm dying it red. It's been sitting for about 15 mins out of the 30 it needs. It's already started to turn copper

I hope it turns out ok. This is the first time I've bleached then dyed it

I dyed it once when I was younger but it just washed out the next day. I was told that I needed to bleach it first so keep your

I'll post pics as soon as I'm done and get this crud off my skin... which is ALL OVER ME thanks to DH who was helping me get the back of my hair


Any tips?

It looks great
Actually it does kinda look like mine. I think everyone can wear red just have to find the right red
And it makes ones complextion look more even, also at least I know when I need mine needs to be colored I start looking really drab, not just drab...I'm so glad it turned out for ya...

Mine was too!
People used to think my mother dyed my hair

Your hair turned out FANTASTIC !!!! I saw your "bleached" thread and I was scared for you
But when I see the final results, it looks absolutely beautiful !!!!!!! Great color on you, too !!!!

oh WOW!! I absolutely love it! I wish I had the courage to do something different to my hair, but it'll be a long while before I work up to coloring mine...
