Last time 'round, I dyed my hair a darker, pretty vivid red. Tom wanted brighter. On further investigation, I discovered that he wanted what I refer to as "crayon red". Kari from Mythbusters gave me confidence that I might be able to pull it off. Also one of the girls I work with is a serial hair-dyer, is nearly as pale as me, and said the color'd worked for her.

The last vivid red I did, didn't stick around long. After three weeks, it wasn't a whole lot more than a reddish medium blond. This time, I am taking measures - inasmuch as I have shampoo for redheads. Possibly color-saving conditioner, though I still have a decent stash from my last handful of hair-dyings (I usually go with L'Oreal, who give you a tube in every box, but this time I used Garnier, who were not as generous).

It is pretty damn red.



(Also frizzy, but I like to let the dye finish settling in and dry on its own, without putting any goop into it. It will be better tomorrow.)

I am so entertained.

...okay honestly, it is no freaking wonder I'm in a Phisto mood lately. (I've still been thinking about making my hair do the color-changing look I always draw on them, I just need to work out how I want to go about doing it.) Or maybe this is just reflective of it. I'm definitely digging up the Amaranthus binder tonight, anyway.
