Hair Transformation

Red hair is most definitely my favourite hair colour. I've been dying my hair red for almost the last five years.

                   
                            
I fancied a change though, I felt the urge to mix it up a bit and therefore have dyed it Purple!
The first thing I did was lighten my red hair before attempting to put the purple on. I used a sachet of Jerome Russel's Bblonde powder bleach and mixed it with 75ml of Creme Peroxide. I bought the powder bleach from Superdrug and the Peroxide off Ebay. After applying all this to my head, I waited half an hour and then washed it off. It went this light gingery colour.

I then attempted to use Directions Plum but it didn't show too well as my hair wasn't blonde enough. It would have been better for just highlights or ombre and not a whole head change. I therefore used my trusty Schwarzkopf Live Colour in Mystic Violet. I applied the whole tube and then left it for nearly an hour because I wanted it to be darker. This is how it has turned out: 

I quite like it :) 

A nice new change for Summer, no doubt I'll be back red again soon though hahah!
