I think you look really pretty and confident in the first photo.
The trick is to look confident everywhere you go and you can pull off any hair colour.

I have no hair care advice but you hold your head up high and wear your hair colour with pride! I wish I had the balls to dye my hair in funky bad-ass colours.

P.S. Don't get the hump with Honeydragon, she's a bit short-tempered because she's been in Tesco's car park since New Year's Eve.

You're lovely looking Lifeandsoul love your hair.

I've always had to bleach bath them colours out then go over with a "normal" colour i.e brown or whatever.

I liked the last pic with the turquoise hair, but I may be slightly biased as im currently sporting candyfloss pink and have been blue, bright red, purple, and orange. Grin
I haven't had a natural looking colour in my hair for years.

Boots do a colour stripper that takes out the hair dye.

my sil did this just before her wedding and it worked a treat.

I could ask her what it was called??

MrsDeVere I think I love you! That is exactly what I'm looking for. The lilac! And it might just blend in the turquoise enough too! and it's not permanent! Would boots stock it?

Oh I do like that lilac.

I might see if Tescos sell it, if I ever get in there.

La riche are the best semi colours by far. I've tried a lot of them. Grin

ShatzePage · 23/02/2014 18:16

I have used the L'oreal stuff too and liked it but you will probably need 2 boxes-the lilac is hard to get rid of too! I like the deep blue colour-its way better than honeydragon's perm

GlaikitFizzog · 23/02/2014 18:37

Shatze, at least it's a colour I want!! The blue was a complete shock!!

I have a Louise Galvin colour stripper waiting for a child-free window in which I can experiment.

I'm beginning to want teal/pastel blue hair now.

At the moment it's sort of orange. It is meant to be red. :/

trufflehunterthebadger · 23/02/2014 22:11

Op, don't forget that kelly is trussed up like who knows what, red carpet ready with makeup-artist-done eyes and a "proper hairdo". She's not posing for a selfie in her sitting room with no makeup on.

Cut yourself some slack xx

GlaikitFizzog · 09/03/2014 15:41

So, yesterday I spent 5 hours in the hairdresser. She bleached my hair, the blue remained, she tried a tint so that I could at least stay blonde, still could see the blue.

So now I am a chestnut brown. Not ideal, but it's nice, and probably very close to my natural colour.

I will never again try to be 'on trend' and just be boring! Much less stressful!

I like it

Toofattorun · 09/03/2014 18:41

I love your hair colour now. It looks so beautiful. It's so glossy and you'd never guess that it was all those colours because the condition of it is so good! You look healthy and more glam. That can't be boring, surely?!
Plus you have a smile back on your face which is great!
Congratulations on your new hair colour.
