Ladies and gents; Summer colour?

[GirlinContempt]

I'm apparently strange, in that for the summer months, I like to lighten up my incredibly dark red hair and go with something brighter. Today I'm going from blowout burgundy to spicy red


Does anyone else do this? Am I a total weirdo? What do you do differently?

[Oeditpus Rex]

1. Yup — you're a total weirdo

It's why we like you. :D



We also trust there will be pics.



(Remember when Ariana Celeste went to that shade? It was hawt!)

[GirlinContempt]

2. Yeah, I sort of figured I was.

I might take some pics. My webcam is acting up and the digital camera isn't mine so is not here. Maybe with my phone, as long as it turns out ok.

3. I like to do that also and have been

since I was a teenager. We used to comb diluted hydrogen peroxide
through our hair and sit in the sun, to hasten the highlighted effects.
I haven't done it in a long time though.

[GirlinContempt]

5. That can't have smelled good

:D

[Breeze54]

15. Couldn't tell with all the baby oil in use!

:P

But we always washed our hair afterwards in cold water and used conditioner.

Our hair smelled great and looked great, with our new tans, for the evening! ;)

27. we mixed iodine into the baby oil and later used small cans of crisco

:eyes: I know.. I know ..but we started sunbathing while there was still snow on the deck :) Had to be tan by easter.. yellow pique dresses...blonde hair & a nice tan :) life was simple then

4. I don't think it's weird. Lots of people go lighter in the summer.

[GirlinContempt]

6. Thanks.

My friends are just being jerkfaces.

[Breeze54]

17. Your friends are afraid to be different! YOU are

the trend setter, it sounds like! That's a good thing!

Be the leader!!! Go girl!!

They're just afraid to look different, for fear on not being accepted.

[Karenca]

7. Doesn't everyone do that?

No seriously, I used to do that all the time. This is the first summer I'm not, simply because I'm trying to correct a bad dye job.
Lots of people I know go lighter in the summer -- that's why they have all the products on the shelves for "summer blonding/hilites", etc.

[GirlinContempt]

9. Yeah, I actually don't know anyone who does

in my circle of friends, but I was SURE I wasn't alone, despite their scorn and derision.

[ThomCat]

8. Nice.

I hope we'll get to see pictures of the new color. :)

[GirlinContempt]

11. Might do

:)

[NewJeffCT]

18. I'll second Thom's request for pics

thanks in advance

[Debi]

10. I've heard rumors that you're a total weirdo..but it has nothing to do with your haircolor!

:hi:

Anyone who spends time outside ends up with lighter hair in the summer...:shrug:...why's that any different than lightening the shade w/dye?

[GirlinContempt]

12. The plebs WILL talk

*sigh* :D

13. I used to use this brand- Blowout Burgundy. Made my hair fall out.

Plus, it fades-but all reds do. Not as fast as others but it does fade.

I now use Naturtint that I get a Whole Foods. It lasts just as long and no clumps of hair fall out for the week or so after I color it.

[GirlinContempt]

19. My hair never falls out

I wish it would. I have too much.

[Beaverhausen]

22. Can I have some?

At least we are the same color!

[GirlinContempt]

25. Right now, my hair is BLONDE

like, parts of it are white blonde, others are my natural blonde, and then the orange crap mixed in. We thinned it out. You can have the good pound of hair we took off. My hair is still the same length. It's ridiculous.

[EstimatedProphet]

14. You should go for the brightest red - it'll match your video game character

[GirlinContempt]

20. We'll see what happens

[Richard Steele]

16. Mmmmm....spicyyyyy...

[In_The_Wind]

21. Try the Flaming Red.

You aren't a weirdo. I used to change blonde shades all of the time when I was younger.

[tigereye]

23. wish I could go red

my stylist laughs at me when I whine about it. I don't have the coloring for it for a start...


I do have some copper hints, though. Along with my silver and gold ones!

[trof]

24. Nothing with "Rush" in it.

;-)

[Xipe Totec]

26. My choice is Red

And yes, you are a weirdo. That is your MOST endearing characteristic.

(among many) :loveya:
