I thought the green was too light and I didn't like it, so I used a darker green. The purple and blue blend together. I might use a darker purple.

Mixture of reds and pink

2011-06-30T07:35:00.003-06:00

When I bleached my hair to re-color it, it turned this very weird color. It was orange-ish with patches of blonde. It was weird.

It looks pink in the picture but it's actually more of a red.

I mixed a few different manic panic reds and hot, hot pink.

I have no idea what this color is. The best part was the back which has a little rainbow of color that was red, pink and purple. Sadly I have no pictures.

Trying to catch up is lots of work.

My camera is still broken, maybe permanantly. I couldn't figure out how to get pictures off of my new phone so I'm a little behind. I think I've changed my hair color at least 6 times since I posted last. I guess I'll have to get used to doing things differently than I have since I started my blog. Besides coloring my hair multiple times I also got it cut...into a mohawk. I'm loving it. So, I'm posting pics of the new do too.

My camera is broken.

My seven year old decided it would be a good idea to use my camera and then she lost it. So I didn't have a way to take pictures of my hair for several weeks. But I did find my camera last week so I can get it caught up again. I don't have pictures of the colors it's been since I last posted but just know that it's changed about three times since then.

I am amazed at how fast pink fades. I can do everything your supposed to and it still looks like crap within a few washes.
I mixed my own color. It's darker than it was when I just did the manic panic. But still cool!

Manic Panic - Hot Hot PInk

2010-08-17T12:56:00.002-06:00

I decided it was time for a drastic change. I was going to color the pink over the brown but when I put it on it wasn't as bright as I wanted it so I bleached it then colored it. Funny but I feel more like myself now.

Catching up

2010-08-16T12:11:00.001-06:00

I'm finally trying to get caught up. I bleached my hair then decided to do a light brown. The first color had a green tint to it so I colored it again with the golden brown and I really liked it. Which is why I left it that way for a couple weeks. Probably the longest I've left a color for a while.

I went and saw her on her very last day. I will really miss her. Who else will listen to my crazy hair stories, laugh and offer advice? Who else can I trust to tell all of my life drama to? Who else is going to know just the way I like my hair cut?

Good Luck Miranda! Please come back!

I bet you were starting to wonder if I was still alive. I mean seriously, do you think I could go a month without coloring my hair?
I moved a month ago and haven't had time to post anything. Plus the fact that I spent time waiting for my internet to be hooked up.
I have a horrible memory and can't remember the names of all the colors I did. Some black, some red. I used a Feria red which I didn't take a picture of cause it was lame. Not even worth a picture!
I'm currently enjoying the red passion. I haven't used this color before, it has a slight pink tint to it (which you can't really tell from the picture). I like it!

Garnier Nutrisse - White Chocolate

2010-05-09T17:59:00.002-06:00

I had already been thinking about cutting my hair really short. I figured that if I was going to bleach it again I would probably have to cut it. So Saturday morning I woke up, got out the clippers and cut it all off. Then I bleached it. It turned out very brassy so then I colored the white chocolate over it. It's still not quite the color I wanted but it'll do for now.

I took the clippers to my hair

Garnier Nutrisse - Medium Natural Blonde

2010-05-07T14:14:00.002-06:00

Colored over the green. Not the blonde I want, so I'll probably bleach it again within the week.

Yikes

2010-05-06T23:08:00.000-06:00

I knew that when I decided to bleach my hair it would either turn a light blue or green. The manic panic is not easy to get rid of.

Herbal Essences - Chocolate Velvet, mixed Manic Panic reds

2010-04-30T23:50:00.003-06:00

The blue was taking on a greenish tint and I didn't like it. So.....time to change it.

Manic Panic - After Midnight Blue (still)

2010-04-29T23:45:00.001-06:00

The front turned purple last time I colored it. You couldn't really see it, so I decided to take some of the color out.

Manic Panic - After Midnight Blue

In this picture the color looks the same as it did before I colored it. It actually has a lot more orange in it now instead of red.

Three different manic panic reds

After

Too many to name.....

2010-03-26T15:04:00.003-06:00

I'm tired of shampoo!

Washed it, looked like crap, had to recolor it. If it had looked as good as it does in this picture it would have been great. It didn't though. Looked like crap still.

Then I decided to color it with just a plain brown color so that I could actually color something over it and it would stay. This color was fine, if I wanted boring brown. Which I didn't.

So, I mixed three different colors of manic panic together. I wasn't sure what color it would be but this is how it turned out. It looks black but I know after I wash it a few times it won't anymore. It seems to have a purple tint to it.

So there you have it. The last two days of my life.........

Garnier Nutrisse - Dark Intense Auburn

2010-03-21T16:46:00.002-06:00

Sometimes I get so frustrated with how quickly a color will wash out. After only one wash the deadly nightshade had faded into a pink color that I didn't really like. So, I had to change it of course.
I wanted to do burgundy but found this color instead. It looks NOTHING like the box. At first I was dissapointed and I didn't like it. I was planning on changing it tomorrow. But after looking at it all day it's grown on me and I really like it!
By the way, it is still purple in the front.

Poll results

2010-03-17T23:52:00.001-06:00

My friend suggested that I put the results of the polls on here so people can see the final outcome. So that's what I'm doing.

The first poll was such a long time ago that I can't remember exactly how it ended. I think some of the colors had only one vote or didn't get any votes so they aren't included in this.

What's your favorite hair color for me?
Dark Brown - 45%
Blonde - 30%
Red - 75%
Purple - 25%
Dark Pink - 30%

What length should I have my hair?
Leave it short - 18 votes (50%)
Grow it out a little - 10 votes (28%)
Grow it out a lot - 8 votes (22%)
