This hairdresser girl I met showed this to me. I'm going to do it... I
hope it turns out as cool. I need to bleach my top layer again and then
do the black and red. Rockin'. I'm going to use a semi for the red. I'm
not a huge fan and my work hates wild hair colors. Dumbasses. YAY how exciting.  ------------- ~* Bambi Lee *~ |

Its really cute.Its so cool how fearless you are with your hair.I love love love dying my hair,but have given it up so I can finally grow it out long.Will see if it lasts,lol.Probably not. Have you considered getting a couple of clip in wefts to put in the bottom of your hair?It would give you the same look minus any damage.The site below has these clips.You get two for $13.Plus you could try other colors.You could get platinum ones to lighten up your current shade.Or you could make your own.Clip ins are super easy to make,and super inexpensive. THIS PICTURE BELONGS TO YOURHAIRSHOP.COM

Hi, I should've used hair color clips. But twice last year I used L'oreal's color rays(Fushia) to add streaks to my hair. It lasted about 5 months. My Fiance' Steve was shocked, even I was shocked. When I colored my hair with Fushia(Pink). I used big streaks on top and sides, not nearly as subtle as these pics, oh well, I got that out of my system! No more, I want natural color,if you will, thanks,... ------------- God Bless,... Katie |

Yeah i need clips. I did the black underneath. I have hair that is
white and it absorbed the black dye when I rinsed it out. I'm hoping
it'll wash out after a few washes. I am actually loving the black I
used. It's such a deep color. I'm having a hell of a time with the blonde on top. The lengh of my hair has been processed so much that it just won't hold the ash longer than a week and absorbs everything and spits it out. It's odd. I haven't put the red color in yet. I was just going to use color pulse. I can't have 'colored' hair at work.. The black doesn't reach up as far as it does in Xtinas. I wont' get it near that much, unless i go higher with the black, or as I should say BRAVER, but I'm thinking of doing it later. I might go all black cause the blonde isn't working right. Its starting to look bland and the very processed parts are grey.... i dunno. i will take a picture and show ya. It looks spiffy, but not like xtinas. ------------- ~* Bambi Lee *~ |

I lifted some of the saturated color out of the blonde. I def.
need to get a toner soon so I can balance out the orange. Here is what I have right now. I really like it, I am going to get clip ins to add some color I think. In order to get xtinas I'd need to put some darker pieces higher up... right now it's mostly my underlayer that is black, a very lovely black at that.  I bleached the roots that's why they are slighly orange. I have yet to get a toner.------------- ~* Bambi Lee *~ |

My boyfriend wants me to just dye it all black.... i can't get him to
admit to liking it or disliking it. which is driving me insane. So
untill I get sick of keeping up the blonde, it'll go black. This
black is just amazing, I love it, it's so real looking. I used to dye
my hair black but it made my hair look like one of a doll. This stuff
is nice. It's Garnier I believe.

Girl, go for the all black! You look great now, but you also would look even better(and healthier hair) with all black. P.S.I love your nose piercing, is it a diamond, looks awesome! Tell me if it bugs you(the nose piercing) or if it hurts, and how much maintenence? I'm considering a Diamond stud nose piercing soon, like in May, or June,...Thanks,;) ------------- God Bless,...

Awe thanks. I'm leanging towards the black for sure... :) My nose piercing is a dangly one. it's like a pin with a loop and a diamond on it. It doesn't bug me no, it's easy to take care of. It hurts for a second and is sore for a week or so after. My body heals very fast so it didn't get infected, but some folks bodies try to reject the piercing and then they get infected. I used BACTINE to keep it clean and it numbs the area too so it's really nice. And after it's all healed you can take it out and put it in. Use L jewlery. It's pin is in the shape of an L. You get pierced with a SCREW and it hurts like a biotch to get it out and it's hell to get back in. The piercer wil take it out when it's ready. So keep going back to get it looked at and then when it's ready they will take it out for you and you can give them the pin or L that you want put in.. Good luck. ------------- ~* Bambi Lee *~ |

IMO Black Hair won't look good with your skin tone. Not too mention you will fry your hair if you try to return to blonde. |

Too bad so sad. I went black. Dark hair is my natural color anyways.
And I thought blonde hair made my eyes pop. This black does too. Also I've been wearing black hair since I was 14 years old. So It won't be that bad. And besides I was tired of frying my hair, and struggling to keep it up. I can't afford to keep my hair blonde. As my boyfriend said, when your older you can always go back to blonde and by that time my hair will have been grown out by then. And I'm part native my skin is slightly olive... I was also so tired of looking like every other girl I see. They are all blonde, all of them. I have nothing against it, but it's time for me to move on. I really like it and everyone I've seen so far says it looks amazing... here's a pic. I'm glad I went to the extreme. I'm a big rocker chic, I like extreme. I used Herbal Essences Saphhire Black, It's pretty heavy but it'll wash out. Where my hair was orange there is a tad of a red tone but that's under my hair, so not a big deal. Ah to live withouth horrible roots. I'm just itchy for my hair to grow. I'm going to put some blonde pieces in it later. I've done it before. It was what I wore previously to dying my hair. Here she be. It's thick, and it's sooo soft. And it looks ten times healther.  ------------- ~* Bambi Lee *~ |

Thank you everyone. Don't get me wrong Blonde, is nice. But I was never
comfortable looking like every single 20 something girl. I am really
enjoying the silky shinyness of this color. Everyone so far seems to be
amazed I pulled off both. It's so shiny, I haven't seen shine or good strong color in a while. I'm loving it. Thanks! ------------- ~* Bambi Lee *~ |

*blushes* Yay! Thank you. I'm loving it, the next door hairdresser was
shocked at how well it took. She said usually if your hair is bleached
so light it will get splotchy. So I guess I'm lucky. So far everyone's
been really liking it. I think some people think it's abit of a shock to the system but it's growing on them. All and all I'm loving it! ------------- ~* Bambi Lee *~ |

I used Bright Black or as the other name for it is Sapphire black
and my hair is bleached so my haircolor is washign out. Which is
fine, I'm going to do a light brown or soemthing after. What kind
of brown would cancel out red tones? I think it's red because it was
the underlying color in the black. it's like burgandy.

I'm not a big fan of red hair.... my b.f really doesn't like it either. Right now it's looking good very real and healthy. My hair color was washing out terribly in the shower but I'm started using Pantene spray in color sealer... my hair color doesn't run at all. Alot of the left over dye has washed out and it looks really good now. I kinda like the redish in it cause well again it looks real. Before I used Feria and it used to fry my hair and make it look like a barbie doll's, plastic and fake. Herbel Essense is good... ------------- ~* Bambi Lee *~ |

I'm a natural light blondey, and I was also fed up with all the bottle blondes I saw...I actually got people asking me if my blonde was real!!! Not to mention my blonde hair really didn't suit me. I'm cool coloured (pinky pale face, grey/blue eyes) and my blonde was more on the golden warm side...it was just wrong! So I fought nature and I've been many colours since. I doubt I'll ever go back to blonde. By the way, the black looks very natural and looks beautiful on you. When I was 15 I dyed my hair blue black which was so cool for a while, but I got bored of it and then couldn't get it to look a natural black...:(...so you're very lucky there!!! |

The black is holding and NO ROOTS! NONE!! It's wondeful. And since I
can't dye my hair cause I'm pregnant, it's awesome. I dyed it just in
time. Though I'm getting a little bored and want to dye it again. Later on I guess. :) ~Bambi~ ------------- ~* Bambi Lee *~ |
