So I got fed up with the constant upkeep of my turquoise & green mermaid hair as it was fading so fast, so decided to try red as I've never actually been a proper red!
I used decolour to get a paler turquoise, then bleached roots and bleach bathed lengths

I used pillarbox red over the remains of the turquoise that I couldnt shift so its silghtly darker in places. I also did a peekaboo on my extensions of daffodil yellow for a flamey affect

I'm not sure I like it though as it's such a 'normal' colour for me :/

After using decolour remover

coconut oiling!

and the results!

Oooh very nice, the pale-r turquoise looks lovely too! I probably would've enjoyed it too much to finish the job

Very very nice red! I do rather like the flash of yellow in your extensions, too!

i *love* the icy blue you were left with.

the fire looks great on you =)

Glitterpix · « **Reply #15 on:** 01 Jul 12 / 07:24 PM »

Thanks lovely

I only washed it once and its faded loads! I think because it's over the faded turq so maybe its not sticking well, and because my ends are a bit damaged from the bleach bath perhaps...

But either way, I actually quite like the pinky red I've been left with! But now I've got a problem with my extensions not matching, argh!

Pippachainsaw · « **Reply #16 on:** 01 Jul 12 / 07:31 PM »

oooo i love the lighter colour! seems more 'you'

atleast chris will be happy =p maybe leave them to soak in head & shoulders for an hour?

Glitterpix · « **Reply #17 on:** 01 Jul 12 / 07:36 PM »

aha, thats true! Yeah will try that!

KittyLost · « **Reply #18 on:** 01 Jul 12 / 10:34 PM »

I agree with pippa, the pinkiness coming out is lush

Janineb · « **Reply #19 on:** 02 Jul 12 / 07:51 AM »

Don't hate me... I'm with your husband, I prefer it without the extensions too! The fade is really nice

Glitterpix · « **Reply #20 on:** 02 Jul 12 / 09:04 AM »

I think with this colour it does kinda look nice without extensions... I may cut the yellow extension to my normal hair length so it blends...

Trying to grow my hair long again, so hopefully soon I wouldn't need extensions anyway!

Oh its fadeing so nicely, I love the pinky red aswell...........lol its great when we love what we start with and then love the changing colours as it fadeds

CupcakeDeVil · « **Reply #23 on:** 03 Jul 12 / 01:15 PM »

The fade is really gorgeous on you... and I like the length of your hair, too.

It suits you well!

Glitterpix · « **Reply #24 on:** 03 Jul 12 / 02:54 PM »

I've got brave, and havent worn the extensions for days

I think as the hair fades in time I may put a pink shade on it and gradually go pinky

but who knows with me haha x
