So… at one point recent I decided I needed to make SOME kind
of change. I needed to do SOMETHING, but I didn’t know what.
And I knew that I wanted to something semi-big.
As a mother of 2 pretty babies, married and living a very
9-5 life, there wasn’t much I could do.
SO…
I dyed my hair! BRIGHT RED! It felt empowering! Strong. Awesome.

In case you wanna do it too…
Here is how:
Step 1: Buy your products.
-You’ll need Red hair dye for the top. I used Loreal Excellence hiColor Hilights in RED because it would lift the darker color (kind of like bleaching my hair) AND dye it red at the same time. Developer 30. (in the picture, i have the wrong developer next to each hair dye...)
-Instead of going BLACK on bottom, I decided to go for a SUPER dark brown. Clairol 3RV/68R Violet Brown...
-You need GLOVES (don’t forget these or your hands will get dyed and it will last a LONG time)
-a bowl to mix everything in.
-and scrunchies/something to separate your air and keep it separated.
(the lip gloss was for my 8 year old daughter... I guess she threw it in there for the picture)

Step 2: mix the red dye and apply to the top half of your
hair.
I did do both colors at the same time… and since my hair is naturally dark, I chose to do the red first so it would be in longer.

Step 3: mix the second dye and put to bottom half of hair.
I parted my hair a little higher up then right above my ears. But generally you part it from ear to ear.

Step 4: WAIT… this was the part that didnt work too well for me. I had to go get my son and didnt plan the times right. (takes a lot longer to mix everything up and put it on than i thought it would. So plan for 2 hours at least. SOOOO- I didnt get to leave the dye on as long as i was supposed to...)
Step 5: wash out.
But then it dried...
YAY!!! PRETTY hair!
Is was redder than the pictures look. the ones below are the best i could get that actually shows the color.

BTW- if you STILL haven’t bought ANY of my books, Shame on you. You should. Right now. :)
