Going back to my roots

[alias_sqbr]

I dyed my hair today since the streaks I got put in last time were looking really crap.


What it looked like before (I took this a while ago, they'd grown another 5cm or so further out)


What it looks like now:


I wanted to see if only dyeing near the scalp right at the end would still look ok if I used a colour similar to my natural one, and I think it does. And thus, less ouches from my sensitive skin.

I used Dark Brown Auburn Loreal Excellence Creme on the advice of kitsune_iii. It's a nice colour but doesn't quite suit my sallow-with-red-splotches skin tone (most reds don't :( ). It suits my arms, face, neck, towels, nightgown and bathroom even less. I am such a klutz :)

i see you got that beardy growth removed, too? ;) actually, i think your new colour does suit you well! do you ever put a colour rinse through instead of a (semi) permanent dye?

[alias_sqbr]

Yes, that's what I did last time.

But it irritated my skin just as much, so I decided I might as well use permanent colour and save myself the extra hassle.

The bearded growth goes away sometimes by itself for some reason, but always seems to come back, especially on weekends :)

fair enough - get it done once and for all!

(well, it's not an unattractive growth, if you have to have one!)

[alias_sqbr]

Well, once and for a few months, anyway.

Yeah, my bearded growth is stripey, that's a rare type :)

I like it. The photo is a good one too.

I know, it turned out way better than the ones when I actually pose rather than quickly leaning over while in the middle of doing some sewing!
