Hair Dyee

I'm pretty keen on dark red hair for some reason. Blue is my favorite color and one day I'd like to have a nice blue gradient effect going on with my hair. But I think I like red so much because it's not as unusual a hair color. As much as I like doing silly little things like shaving both sides of my head and dying my hair, I don't want to stand out too much. Not in the way that gets stares anyway. I think simply being not Turkish does that anyway. Not that I'd hold any stares against anyone. 

But anyway! Before we arrived in Turkey, I would get my hair cut and dyed by a good friend. For a while, we tried different ways of getting my hair lighter so it could actually show red. When I came here, my roots were already starting to show, dark as they are, with very light brown hair for the rest. I even had some somewhat blond streaks. Haha! But since I no longer have the luxury of a friend nearby that can style hair, I wondered how to proceed. I hadn't heard too many things about hair stylists here and at that point, my shaved sides were in desperate need of a shaving. Luckily our little shaver arrived with the first shipment of our things so my husband was able to take care of that part. I also had my eye on couple of dyes online, but instead I went and looked for one in the store. I found one I thought would be worth a shot and was especially hopeful since my hair now pretty light due to the previous dye jobs. It took well and I'm really happy with it!

As you can tell from the grin.

It's been almost two weeks since that dye and it has faded a bit, but the color is still there. It comes with a little bottle of "Color Fresh" cream that you're supposed to use two weeks after the initial dye that's supposedly going to bring some vibrancy back to it. We'll see about that. Since I really like the way it came out, I don't mind buying the dye again to redo it, an additional two weeks after the Color Fresh stuff.
