What do you think of my hair transformation?

After a disastrous ‘trim’ by DH supposed to be an inch I decided to do a big change after 3 years of blonde balayage.

My amazing colourist did this yesterday. Just wanted to share how clever she is.

I love it, the colour is great and your hair looks very healthy,
Now I think you should have new clothes make up and perfume,
You made the right decision so you may as well do the lot and treat yourself.

WingBingo · 15/10/2021 08:48

Exactly what I was thinking! I treated myself to a new, darker lipstick and brow pencil.

I now obviously need some beautiful jumpers in complimentary colours.

Gorgeous hair colour! I wish I was brave enough to make a change like that.

ShirleyPhallus · 15/10/2021 08:51

Absolutely gorgeous!! Have you got specific anti fade products? It will need a bit more upkeep than the blonde as it will fade over time, but really beautiful

Tellmeee · 15/10/2021 08:53

Really lovely!

GoldChick · 15/10/2021 08:55

Lovely and autumny. What are you using to keep it fresh?

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 15/10/2021 08:56

Fabulous colour!!!

Mumdiva99 · 15/10/2021 08:58

Wow!!! That's beautiful.

WibbleyWobble · 15/10/2021 08:58

Stunning transformation 🙂🙂

Aposterhasnoname · 15/10/2021 09:00

That is absolutely gorgeous

connelly · 15/10/2021 09:28

Gorgeous!

Just beware that red is really difficult to get rid off.

NorthSouthcatlady · 15/10/2021 09:33

I like! Good choice

Luckytattie · 15/10/2021 09:35

It does look good but I have a feeling it will only ever look so good when done by the hairdresser. Looks a lot of work! Red fades fast too so beware!

Nice for autumn though

CommanderBurnham · 15/10/2021 09:35

Lovely. Yes yes you'll definitely need good maintenance and a change in make up. Enjoy!

ShadowsInTheDarkness · 15/10/2021 09:38

Red hair is the best. I've been dying mine red for years. Get yourself some good high quality anti fade products. Do a hair masque at least once a week and be prepared for it to look like all the colour is washing out for the first week after dying it! It was such a shock to see all that red water the first time I washed mine. On that note try not to wash your hair as much and turn the heat right down.
Having said all that I've not done mine for 3 months and it's a right mess, but three people have complimented me on it this week. It's an absolute rainbow of shades of auburn and red which I thought looked awful but apparently not 😁

@ShadowsInTheDarkness
@GoldChick
@ShirleyPhallus

Which products would you recommend please?

Yes I imagine it will never look that good again @Luckytattie. I can kind of achieve that curl but it takes time I don’t usually have.

Oh sorry! I was asking you for recommendations! I like kerastase but it's pricey.

WingBingo · 15/10/2021 09:48

Ha ha, sorry too @GoldChick

I’m heading into town today so I’ll head to Boots to see what they have.

GoldChick · 15/10/2021 09:51

I think loreal elvive is meant to be good but I've not tried it

TattiePants · 15/10/2021 09:56

That looks stunning.

LuckyAmy1986 · 15/10/2021 09:59

That's gorgeous!

Pheebs2021 · 15/10/2021 10:05

I love your hair colour!
Sorry to derail but anti fade product? Can somebody talk to me about this please? I have an hair colour which could do with this and have never heard of it before.

WingBingo · 15/10/2021 11:13

Believe that they are shampoos that have some pigment, like purple shampoo

I know the purple ones take out the brassy yellow colour and some work really well.

Never ventured into the wonderful world of red hair before so I’ll try the Elvive one as I find the purple one is really good.

I love it, looks absolutely gorgeous. You have a very talented hairdresser!

WingBingo · 15/10/2021 13:53

This is it after I have styled it.

Wish I could afford a blow dry a couple of times a week!
