How did you manage the transition from henna to chemical dye?

AWESOME!!! Circusized Peanuts is a great album! They actually threw circus peanuts (those marshmallowy banana candies) out at the audience. I have to say I wasn't much of a fan before the show but they had such energy. Now, I have much more appreciation for their recorded material.Originally Posted by motormuffin

Good question. I actually went to my hair stylist a little over a year ago. He did highlights and added the bright red. Since I couldn't afford $200 every few months, I kept it up at home by adding the bright red L'oreal HiColor to my roots (although I believe I did a whole-head application that first time). I did the Pravana Vivids every few weeks to keep it bright. You can find Pravana on Amazon and on Ebay. Gradually, the burgundy henna color lifted and the bright roots grew out.
I miss the ritual of ordering my henna, mixing it, and spending the day with it on my hair, but the color just didn't have that *pop* any longer. I kept seeing women with bright bright bright red and wanted that for myself.

You totally rock that look! You are lucky to have such a precise mate. I can't even imagine what I'd look like if I let mine do my color! LOL!!!
Looking at the length shots, I notice you have the front of your hair pulled back to the sides... what are you using to hold that. I can't quite see...
You are a cutie-pie! Enjoy that bright, bright red for all of us dreamers of hair color not accepted in the grown-up world...

I twisted it just a little bit to do kind of a '40s "victory roll" look. I can't roll from the ends up because it's just too long, but if you twist it a few times, it looks almost the same. it's fastened with bobby pins and with a tiny little claw clip. Thank you for the compliments. I feel lucky to have supervisors who respect my creativity and understand that as long as I do my job well, a little haircolor is ok.
