So went from bright red to purple.
I broke up with me ex a while back now and the girl he got with looked like a terrible version of me, so i decided to change, was sick of hearing every say how much she looked like me because we both had red hair :roll:

I chose purple for my next colour, bleached out the red, used sfx pimpin purple and for the colour in the first photo. I wasnt happy at all, and it washed out so fast!!!
It went a pink, then faded pinky orange. Absolute rubbish and id never recommend that shade now.
The second photo is how it went, then the one after that is the horrbile wishy washy colour it ended up. Hard to see really

Sooooo hated it pinky, didnt bother to bleach it out, just did my roots and slapped on some directions violet. This came out a lovely colour and covered well, but it would not take to my roots at all! It seemed to just tone them and my roots were a weird grey / lavender colour lol, shame cause the colours gorgeous, and stayed ok :D

Then i got manic panic ultra violet, mixed in a dollop of directions plum to try avoid the grey roots problem and then mixed in some directions violet too, just cause i had some left hehe, and it came out the last shade, very nice i thnk, but a bit darker cause of the plum.
It looks quite pinky in the photo but its not, i think was the reflection of the flash or something.

I definately prefer the ultra violet! Its nice and im so suprised that these purples took to and covered the horrible mess pimpin purple left!

But now i dont think i suit purple and want my red back HAHA, dear o dear!

I really like the 2nd pic. I think you suit the reddy purples better than the blueish purples... Bright red is a bit harsh, I find.
I used directions plum and SFX deep purple and they stained everything...every time I washed my hair. Did you find this with any of them?

you're so pretty :)


I actually like all of these colors on you, have you ever gone turquoise before? I am on a turquoise kick, and I think it would look lovely on you


also, people are dumb...why they need to associate people by hair color alone I have no idea..."oh you have pink hair, you look like pink" (no I don't, not even close) "oh you have blond hair you look like gwen stefani" (uh..nope, not at all) heck, my BF used to have bright red hair, and I had atomic pink and dumb people would be all "OMG you have matching hair how cute" not so much! Wear what you love and filter the stupid with a smile :)

I love the directions colour!! I too have the same issue with it though, I used midnight blue & my roots were always teal coloured :/

I've had people ask me how I get my hair such a lovely shade of purple.....it's SFX blue velvet :o :roll:

I am biased but I love all the purples on you, I started off with pimpin and I'll prob go back to it at some point after my love affair with deep purple is over.
( yes it stains like a bitch on absolutely everything even after a months washing but the staying power is amazing & i absolutely adore the colour, get loads of lovely comments)

So I'd say stick with purple :D

Yes i have actually, i was petrol green and then atomic turquoise a few years ago, not got a good photo of the turquoise, it was quite faded in the one below, i loved it though, i nearly went that colour this time, but a lovely lady i know has it at the moment and i thought it would be best not to be the same. Plus id look pants stood next to her hehe.
Its nice for everyone to have something different when your out :)

I just dont like the pink on me at all, not a pink girl. I loved the directions violet but it just tones my bleached roots, it took fab ontop of the faded pink though, shame.
I think i might stick with purple for another month or two xxxxx
