Adventures in hair dye
So back in the summer, I dyed my hair back to blue black which faded to black by September.
Well, I ended up getting the Palty Caramel hair dye on ebay which I intend to use in the last week of November. That package is still in the mail, but in the meantime I dyed my hair with the Nice and Easy Truffle Brown.
Unfortunately, due to the black hair dye still in it, only the roots got colored which was rather weird to say the least.
So after googling a bit, I zipped over to HEB, got the ColorOops and suddenly my hair is a rich auburn brown!
It's great to know that no bleach was involved this time nor is there dye in my hair anymore :D So if I were to bleach my virgin hair in future, I could probably get to this color again :D
Will need to check it out in the morning to make sure its not too brassy or with asian orange highlights but \o/

And the reason I've always been reticent about dying my hair lighter is b/c of that 'asian orange highlights' look that sets in LOL oh god @_@
I've heard ash tones work well against the orange/reds though after using the Palty dye, if its too red, I'll probably finally go to the salon to get some blue toner applied to neutralize the copper/brassy tones :D
Edit: Though I'll most likely head to the salon before the hols to neutralise some of the orangey red highlights ^^ Not sure if its blue or violet toner that's needed ^^
