I’m pretty risk averse when it comes to major changes to my hair. But the arrival of a new season is a good reason change things up. After flipping through DIY Dye: Bright and Funky Temporary Hair Coloring You Do At Home, I was thinking of temporarily going red, or at least reddish. The book outlines techniques such as bleaching, hair chalking, and Henna, among others. I don’t see myself adding hair dye to my hair anytime soon, but I will definitely try a Henna application process similar to the one outlined in the book. As much as I like the bright tones of the inspiration photos above, I’d go for a much more subtle look in reality. Maybe a reddish tone that is only apparent in direct sunlight (like the top right photo). I’ll keep you guys posted if I feel inspired to try something more dramatic!
What do you think: Yay or Nay to red? And are you planning any hair changes this Spring?
Note: The book DIY Dye was provided by the publisher.
Yes. I actually always love being a red head. I’ve been slowly heading back that direction since Christmas – and I think I’m going to make the final jump in June. The only tricky thing is keeping up with it (it fades kind of quick) and seeing which things in your wardrobe don’t quite match as well as they once did. Have fun!!
