Got the pics up. It was mega bright in the sun, whooeee! Kerry kept laughing at it, he said it turn absolutely translucent in sunlight. He sure was enjoying it! I didn't even out the color as much as I hoped. My ends are already Irish Setter Red...leaning towards Christmas red! I'll try to get pics tomorrow so I can keep track of how it oxidises. No one looked at my hair and went "Wow!" Either it's not as bad as I think, or they are being really, really polite. I asked Shelly if she thought it was too much and she said she thought it looked natural. OK! It's just still a shock going past the mirror. Makes my eyes look really blue though!
First two showing my roots and ugly cowlick. Even where it's been dyed before looks pretty washed out.
It was actually brighter than this, but pretty close, I matched the colors to Moosie, supervising there in the background. Look Mom, no roots!
Now I just sit back and let it darken. I still smell like hay!

Well, it's been about 48 hours. Some of the brassy orange tones have calmed down, it is still REALLY red. I love it though, I think I look younger. I won't be going back to chem dyes, that's for sure. I will have to watch that I don't henna right before I need to go somewhere for business. I might henna again right before Christmas and pose as an ornament! It will contrast nicely with my green velvet dress, hee hee.
Here's what it looks like after 48 hours. In the pic it looks like it almost matches my sig pic color...it doesn't. It's more intensely red. I actually think this was the color I was trying for when I had that celophane experience and it turned maroon instead. (shudder shudder)
