Bratti, I was going to go with the top and a bit on the side, but now (after seeing what Sweetie Pie posted), I think I should do it on the ends. More modern that way. What do you think?
Do you have any of those chalk ones.
Oh I can hardly wait until I can get time to get to Walmart. I just have so many appointments this week. Probably it will have to be next week.
I reckon when using dynamic colours the trick is to watch they don't clash too much. Cola Red and orange might be borderline.
Do they come in luminous or just matt finish?
I bet fluorescent or luminous could look real eyecatching with a black dress during a power cut.
Sweetie Pie, do you think Cola Red and orange would go well together?
I will have to get Bratti's advice on that. Just wondering what you thought...
Well, for one thing, they do not damage your hair.
You can mix and match the colours and simply brush out if you don't like the effect. Before you wash your hair, apply some Argan oil to the ends, it will protect them. Simply shampoo as normal, your hair will be silky and shiny.
As for which colours, I would try them out and see how you like them. They do work on all hair types and colours.

That is a good question for Matti Mort. Matt finish might be my choice. If we get a choice. I will have to wait until she lets us know on that. The chalk that Sweetie Pie posted looks like it is Matt.

You can get all sorts now, including the new glitter ones, for that added sparkle.
These ladies are right blue. With dynamic bold colours like these the trick is to use it subtly. Sporting complete flamingo pink or electric blue will look hideous. Age definitely makes a huge difference.
You don’t want these colours too close to your face because they will just exaggerate your age even more.
These are spray colours that don’t stain clothes like the chalk does but they most definitely wash out, otherwise I would t be using them. The only reason why I used two colours was to show you what they looked like. If I use two colours I will have them side by side. Since you’ve got apricot coloured hair already I’d suggest rose gold. It is a glittery colour but it’s subtle. Gold and silver are glittery but all the other colours are mat ( no shine )
And NO cherry cola and orange DO NOT look good together. It will look like your cherry cola colour is bleeding ( hair terms )
What I suggest is that you get the rose gold and take a tiny piece of your hair ( not too close to your scalp or face ) and experiment with it. Then ask your closest friends and family their honest opinion.
My cherry cola is done with henna and THAT is permanent. You have to grow out the colour or dye over top of it and I honestly think it will be too colourful for your face. You definitely are beautiful and I think growing out your bangs is a great idea. You will definitely suite that.
Whatever you do, take baby steps.
I don’t suggest diving right in to anything that’s going to be permanent and henna definitely IS. Cassia would suite you FAR better than henna. It is an all natural colour that shows up as light apricot. That would definitely suite you.
There are many natural substances that colour hair effectively, some are permanent , some aren’t. For instance if you mix henna and indigo together you can get jet black hair. Do I suggest that for ‘you’ ?
Heck no. For now I’d go with the rose gold and do a few tip ends. Have a friend help you the first time you experiment if possible. Whatever you do, don’t spray too close your scalp or it will look stupid. Plain and simple. The idea is just to have touches of colour. I had NO plans on suggesting a full head of teal green for your hair. You’d be trying to scalp me if I did that to you and for good reason.
Tomorrow I’ll show you the purple.
I can only show so many colours at a time otherwise I’ll be walking around with rainbow coloured hair.
I very much like the pink and gold. The blue is a good colour, and maybe if it were streaked on and higher up it would look great. I am not sure if we can get those sort of temporary sprays in this country. They don't look familiar and if I tried them I would need to be sure they washed out easily.
Thank you Aerolor. Yes they definitely wash out or I wouldn’t be using them.
The chalk I was talking about isn’t like this at all but I agree to experiment. The bottom line is if YOU ( Blue or anyone else) like it, it doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks.
This stuff looks interesting Sweetie Pie. You guys will have different stuff than we do but the same basic ideas.
I like options.
