It restores shine and structure to your hair by penetrating deep into your hair cuticle. It is heat activated, so is flat-ironed into your hair at high heat. Whilst [...]

So I completely forgot I hadn’t yet posted a blog about my latest hair dye experiment. I apologise profusely, but hope that what I lack in time management skills I make up for in wit, charm and a complete lack of resistance to testing colour concoctions out on my hair for my lovely readers benefit [...]

I decided to give Manic Panic “Vampire Red” another go. My first attempt had turned out like this: Although I didn’t mind the colour, I wanted it brighter (and less pink). So I thought I’d see how light I could bleach my hair first in order to get a really vibrant colour. And how it [...]

As a follow up to my last post I thought I would share the triumphs and drama of my first experience using Manic Panic hair dye. The colour I used was Vampire Red. I purchased a tub off ebay for about $22 plus postage, and one tub was enough to cover my thick, shoulder length hair. This [...]

It should come as no surprise to those of you who have read my previous blogs and/or know me in real life that I have started yet another chapter  in my hair dye history. After giving my hair a bit of a break (about 4 ½ months)  I couldn’t handle it anymore and decided I needed [...]

As a follow up to my previous post Colour me a Rainbow! (A history of hair colour) I thought I would go through how I dye my own hair, as I know there are many different methods out there, and I would like to pass on my experiences to you to save you the stress [...]

I was stumped for a topic for my next blog post, so figured I would write about something I have done many many times and have had mixed experiences with; Hair dye and dying your hair. I thought a little trip down memory lane would be appropriate place to start and then I will do [...]
