Dip Dye How To: Ginger to Black cherry

***Disclaimer before we start I am in no way a expert or hair dresser so dip dye 

with caution but I hope you still like this post***

1. Choose the correct dye. I chose the semi permanent 'super drug crème sensations' in 'Black cherry' I warn you that if you want this to last, don't go for a semi permanent because it doesn't take long to dull down and wash out.

2. Get ready. I'd say preparation is one of the key points, from everything to choosing the right dye to preparing the work space where your going to do it. I would suggest a bathroom or somewhere where there isn't anything around that could get stained or ruined. ALSO wear an old t-shirt and trousers even if you take precautions I still got dye on the top so don't wear anything you don't mind getting ruined. Also it will take longer than you think

3. Lay everything out. I put an old towel out on a workspace where I layed out anything I would need. I cut the tin foil up into the correct sized pieces as your hands can get messy and its a pain to do when you have dye on your hands. 

4. Mix up the dye. Mix it up read the dye instructions first. I applied mine to damp towel dried hair that hadn't been conditioned the previous wash (this is meant to help the dye show up better)

5. Section off your hair. This is crucial as you don't just want to just apply it all in one go as it wont get through to every hair.

6. Section off the sections and start applying the dye. I used a tinting brush and simply squished a bit of dye on each section and made sure it was completely covered with the tinting brush. just make sure the dye goes on both sides and goes up to wear you want it. These are slightly different lengths so it blends better together. 

7.Blend the ends up. This is good to do and will make the finished result look a lot better. this is also achieved by only do really small sections of hair at a time. What I suggest is to get the brush longways and make sure it's not one straight line as this wont look good.  

Warning this took me about 2 hours so be prepared for how long it takes!!!

This is the finished result I love it and am so happy with it.

Dying my hair...

For a long time now I have really wanted to dye my hair. In the summer I'm planing do do something very bright. However right at this time I'm still at school and there are some very strict rules about dying hair.

I say strict because even though its an absolute no no, pretty much 65% of the pupils do have dyed hair of some sort.

As the title of my blog suggests I am a ginger, when I was younger I was very bright ginger however now its got a lot more dull. It is still ginger but has a much more brown tone to it.

I didn't want to dye my whole head on account of wanting to stay ginger and I wanted to dip dye it blonde but decided that would be a tad obvious if I walk into school half blonde so I decided to go a much darker slightly red colour. yay

I decided to do a semi permanent dye as it washes out in 28 washes and this will bring me nicely up to the Easter holidays where I thought a change would be nice. so after looking at many a different dyes online. I went to Superdrug and chose 'superdrug crème sensations' in 'Black cherry'  (which I didn't even see online)

Some thing I would mention is that buying hair dyes online is probably not the best option unless you know exactly what you want (e.g. have used that colour before) but I think going to the shop and seeing the colours in person is a good idea. You wouldn't want to be disappointed when it arrived. And you want to get the correct shade you had in mind or even just to have a browse at all the colours.

In the random things it says about the product it says 'conditioning colour with supurb shine and no ammonia' it also says with keratin and how it is super easy to use. I'll get back to you and show you the results. 

QOTD: have you dyed you hair if so what colours? Also have you ever used the superdrug dye?

New Hair Cut :'(

so last week (or was it two weeks ago time goes so quickly) I took a big step for me anyway. Having not cut my hair in about a year an a half I loved the length. It was long and to be honest it was feeling the strain with a lot of split ends. I thought it was needed. 

To be honest although this is going to sound stupid I really didn't want too. although I wanted my hair to be more healthy I didn't want it any shorter but I thought id go for it. 

I decided to get some layers cut into it and although I love it when its out because it looks a lot nicer. I absolutely hate it when its up :'( this makes me immensely sad as my everyday hairstyle was literally just throw it up into a high ponytail and it came down round my face and came down to way below my shoulders but now it only comes up to my shoulders and I feel like it looks really odd.

It's very hard to change my mind about things. and however much anyone said it was nice I still don't like it. however I have to tell myself that its only hair and mine does grow incredibly quickly. So I'm trying to keep it really well loved to make sure it grows fast.

I'm sorry this post was a bit random but I was just in the mood for a little rant about my hair. Anyway I hope you still liked it and please comment down below telling me any hair story you have to make me feel better . thanks xxx see you soon xxx

QOTD: When did you last get your hair cut? How long is your hair? Got any hair growing solutions? 

HAPPY 2014

Wow what a strange thing to write...2014. And yet again I hear myself saying just how quickly this year has gone. This year is a big year for me and although I know alot if people say that but I mean it. With what seems to me to be a never ending list of things to cram into a year I don't know how it will all fit in.

To be honest in not usually a one for resolutions, I make vague ones to myself and have usually forgotten about them by march. But this year im determined...(wow that's commitment)

This year my resolution is to make sure I am ALWAYS SMILING this possibly is easier said than done but I am determined to make sure im always happy and this means both bot letting others bring me dine and not letting things around me pull me down.

I don't know how well this really is going to go as everyone has there down days but I feel positive going into 2014 and I think that makes all the difference.

So I will wish you luck  with whatever your resolutions are and I'd live to know what they are so leave a comment letting me know below. thanks for reading xxx

QOTD:What are your resolutions for 2014? What were they last year? How did you get on?

Makeup Haul

So I may have gone into Superdrug and I may have found the reduced make-up items and I may have bought a few... so with that in mind here is a mini make-up haul for you.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss - 170 Coral Reef - Superdrug

A super pretty coral/pink colour and it has a non sticky formula so it is really nice.

Gosh Velvet touch waterproof eye liner - 016 Classic Grey - Superdrug

This eye liner is so super creamy and it goes on so well that I would definatly go
 back and get more, especially as it is so pigmented.

MUA nail polish - Plum Noir - Superdrug

This is a really pigmented nail polish and it glides on so nicely.

Gosh Intense eye liner pen - 02 Grey - Superdrug

This eye liner goes on really well and the felt tip top makes its easy to apply
(plus grey is a more subtle colour)

Calvin Klein eye shadow creme - Sheer Nectar - Poundland

I love this because its a really nice shimmery brown colour and you can wear it blended in so
its softer or if you want it darker you just done blend as much.

So i hope you liked these products and if you want a full review with pictures of me wearing them just ask. See you soon.

QOTD: Do you have any of these products? What do you think of them?
