RED!!

Hello everybody!! It's been along time since I last made a post (about a month), the reason for this is my laptop has been having a few problems lately and I have been trying to get it fixed.

Anyway enough about that!

I named this post RED because I have dyed my hair red... like WOW 'RED'. 

This is the second time I had dyed my hair red. The first time I had it for about a year and a half, the reason my hair colour changed because I went blonde for a while, than I got pregnant with my son and I couldn't keep up with retouching the roots every month with a small baby, so I had to keep it simple and mangable and go back to my natural hair colour Dark Brown.

But recently I have wanted to go back to that lovely colour red ... 

So I did!!

First I had to decide how I was going to do this! I knew just putting a dye on it wouldn't take and I would be lefted with a brown auburn colour. I wanted a more notable and bright red so I had to pre-bleach it first. I put two boxes of L'Oreal Preference - Les Blondissimes Extreme Platinum Dye on my hair and I hoped for the best!.

I lefted the bleach on for the recommended time which was about 40 minutes.

  When I toke it off my roots where platinum blonde and the middle to the tips where a light brown orange color, I was happy about that because I didn't think it was going as light as it did.

I didn't dye my hair straight away after bleaching it, I lefted it 2-3 days before I put the red on.

I used the new XXL HD Intense Colour Permanent 33 Scandalous Scarlet.

 I made up the bottle and it looked bright orange so by this time I was starting to get nervous as I didn't want my hair to go that colour, I put it on anyway and I
 wrapped my head in tin foil to keep it all in place. Every 10 minutes I checked to see the results and it was getting redder YAY panic over! I lefted it on for about a hour and half, not the recommended time of 20-30 minutes.
 I'm happy with the outcome and I'm loving being back red :)
