How I Dye my Hair Bright Red! :)

Okay so...

 I just dyed my hair a bright red with a new dye, not the Nutrisse one I talked about previously...

 I love the result! it's super bright, yet wearable, and I think that it exaggerates my pale skin but in a good way, I look like an exotic mermaid or something. haha

Anyway, these are the products I used and how I achieved this hair color.

Products: (purchased at Sally's Beauty Supply)
-Ion Color Brilliance Demi-Permanent Creme Hair Color: 6RV Light Burgundy Blonde
-Salon Care 10 Vol. Creme Developer
-Mixing Bowl & hair color brush
-plastic latex gloves
-hair clips
-mirror
-and of course my hair....
Now keep in mind, I did not bleach before using this color because my hair was already light. Refer to previous photos in earlier posts: it was a light red with some subtle blonde highlights so I did not have to bleach. If you have darker hair you may have to do so. 


 What I did:
First I brushed out my hair and got rid of tangles (did not wash before hand) I mixed the color and the dye according to the directions, I did a 1-1 ratio...2 oz of color and 2 oz. of developer. Then I clipped back sections of my hair and started at the back, and worked my way through while wearing gloves. I made sure to cover my roots thoroughly, but I think next time I will get 2 boxes since I barely had just enough to cover my entire head. I had to make the mixture stretch and I think that is because my hair is so thick even though it's short. So if you have long hair I would recommend 2 boxes.


 Here are some pictures of how it turned out! If you want to see the actual process and what not, (not of me dying but of me talking about it) then check out my Youtube channel video! :)
