Here I am!
The hair I would actually call Copper. It took a week, 2 bleachings, about 6 shades and 1 toner before I came out looking like this and I have to say....I think I love it. The ends are still a slightly darker color than the top, but I think I quite like that effect, and I even got a blonde highlight on one side from when I had my blonde streak there.
I debuted it at the Melbourne Love Vintage Show on Saturday and had a few confused looks before people recognised me!
I matched my hair and the Autumn chilly weather up with some warm outfit colors.
I even matched my nails to my skirt! Orly Glitz and a-England Camelot half moons.

DeleteThis color is super, you're fine
ReplyDeleteLOVE! You make me want to go back to red :)
ReplyDeleteGo for it!
DeleteWow, very sexy on you, even more than the black! I still like the ombre effect.
ReplyDeleteA few have said the same thing, I may have to keep it for awhile.
DeleteI love it! You look fab. When you first said you were switching colors, I couldn't quite picture it, but now that I see how it looks I think I like it beter than the black.
ReplyDelete(And that skirt! Amazing.)
Thank you! The skirt is Fab!
DeleteCertainly worth the effort - it looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreat mani too, do you freestyle or use stickers to get an even shape?

Thanks Helen! For this mani I used stickers but mostly I freehand if im using red.
DeleteYou look fabulous! That color looks really great on you. People always fail to realize how much hair color can change your look.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to change my hair color soon. I'm going for a more dark cherry red. I love the lighter auburn color but having natural dark hair makes it so I have to dye my hair every 4-6 weeks which is a lot of dyeing in a year.
My natural hair is very dark brown so the regrowth is going to be interesting. I hope I can stick with it!
DeleteYou look amazing! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lu!
DeleteFabulous! You look like a movie star from the 50s! Love the outfit especially the bag/sunglasses and nails! Love those moons :D
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! My purse is divine!
DeleteIt's heavenly, but I already told you that!
ReplyDeleteSarah and I got those sunnies too, onlu I got red! LOVE THEM! XXX
Hope u had a fab time dear Helga! Cu next year!
DeleteYou look fabulous with red hair! It goes really well with your skin tone!
ReplyDeleteMy skintone was one of the things I was hoping it would match! Thank you!
DeleteVa-Va-Voom! You were born to be a redhead. The skirt is fab. But you should be rockin' a (periwinkle)blue shirt as apposed to black, especially with those eyes!
ReplyDeleteBlue is one color I haven't previously worn. I am finding I can try a few new colors!
DeleteYou are perfection!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks hun!
DeleteYou've got the perfect skintone to pull that colour off. So lovely!
