This was a bit of an experiment. I did Redken Shades in 6T (T for Titanium) on the lower layers, mixed up a 7-8T for the mid-layers, and did a 9T on the very top. You can still see a little bit of the pink stains still coming through, but overall, I like it. It's been interesting to use a color scheme I've never done before.
-
urs — 3/5/2014
This is how my color has faded this last week. You'll note that much of the steely blue has washed out, but not the red stains from the festival of colors I attended on Sunday.
-
urs — 4/4/2014
These are just the below colors, faded. Everyone seems to like it, though.

urs — 7/3/2014
Well. These colors are all diluted. The purple I used before is not really wanting to come out of my mid strand, so I am trying to keep it interesting. The green is on my roots, I added the blue velvet next to it, and put the cherry bomb on my ends to make the plummy color. I didn't really need to add the purple; it's barely faded from almost two months ago when I applied it (except on my ends).
-
urs — 21/1/2014
So then someone suggested taking a photo of my reflection, as that might garner fairly accurate color results. I gotta say, this is probably as close as it's going to get - even though I tend to strongly dislike these sorts of pictures, this is very close to capturing the actual tones in my hair.

Looks pretty bluish on top here, but is very violet in reality. I diluted the Pravana down quite a bit with conditioner - probably half and half. I made a few pieces more plum colored with the pink/cherry bomb combo (normally a pretty pinky red combo, but the violet washing out made it more plummy). My extensions had been MP Voodoo blue and Pravana Blue (more cobalt), with some pink and blonde ends. I just colored over them completely with the pink/cherry bomb mixture to make them purple, again with plummy bits throughout.
-
urs — 5/1/2014
I also used Joico Red and Yellow. I was really low on reds, so I mixed the magenta with some yellow to get a reddish orange that I dumped in with my red leftovers. The ends are the Pravana yellow, which is a bit golden. My phone slightly bumped up the saturation on this, so I wouldn't make Pravana magenta and yellow your go-to for bright red. The Joico red, however, is fairly bright and a true red, so it's still a pretty accurate capture.

After actively fading my green to a weird, drab seafoam color, I dumped diluted electric banana all over it (half conditioner, half color). Now it's a crazy bright yellow green. I will probably try to fade out a little bit more of the green this week, and then add more yellow to get a true yellow.
-
urs — 13/9/2013
Electric banana in UV light. Since I mixed up a little bit into all of my color, the majority of it glowed pretty good.
-
urs — 12/9/2013
I actually used the Teal, not the blue, but it's not listed. I just added it to the tips to blue them up a little. I haven't really changed anything else, though.

'N Blue

-
urs — 15/7/2013
I've been keeping it blue the last couple of months. I had originally just maintained the Pravana blue in the multitonal color I had, but wanted something deeper and....bluer? So I got some Blue Velvet and diluted it and applied it to random pieces. It's actually still a bit multitonal, which isn't really captured here, but I like the end result, regardless. I always forget how much I like that color.
-
urs — 24/5/2013
Diluted Pravana - half blue, half conditioner, and slightly diluted Voodoo blue. I added a little bit of the pink to the tips and a couple of streaks of it to make some purples.

Soooo....I recolored my hair again already. I went over the yellow streaks with the Pravana Blue, added pink to a few of the tips, and added some more of the Voodoo Blue, which is really a fabulous turquoise. I've also got a set of clip on extensions in here, colored with the same colors. Will get a front pic in the next day or two.

This shows all the different patches and porosities better. It seems like it looks better in pics than real life.

This is just the color fading. It's becoming more neutral and silvery; most of the bluer tones have washed out.

Outdoor lighting. Honestly, not sure what blue I put on my roots here. I just had a pot of leftover blues that I had mixed together that I grabbed from work. I would venture to guess that it's mostly SFX electric blue, since that is typically my blue of choice in this color range. Anyway, I just threw it on my roots on top of the pink - I didn't even let the pink fade much - and let it bleed all over the rest of my hair.
-
urs — 25/2/2013
Well. I tried the Pravana Magenta, and I didn't love it. It just wasn't the brightness that I wanted. It probably looks fine on very blonde hair, but it just didn't have the covering power to go over my old red/pink/purple nicely. So, I got out my trusty MP hot pink and dumped it on the roots (to counteract the neon coral that the Cherry Bomb had faded to) and then added a Beyond the Zone pink (don't know how I got that in my arsenal, but oh well, it worked) to the rest of it. I didn't color my ends, as I kind of like the faded pastel look they have.
-
urs — 8/2/2013
Bleached my regrowth and added cherry bomb on top.
-
urs — 27/1/2013
Faded out my old color some and then put hot pink all over. Added a little bit of violet to my ends, then colored some extensions in a plummy pink (hot pink + violet), violet, and blue gradation and installed them.
-
urs — 2/1/2013
So I threw some pink on my roots. I get bored fast.

So, got tired of the blue. Bleached my roots. Added the electric banana all over on the back portion, the hot pink on my front hair line, and a little bit of N'Rage Twisted Teal on the ends of both sections. LOVE IT!!
-
urs — 6/11/2012
This is the Ion blues, faded. They turned a pretty turquoise shade, closer to the original Aqua than the Sky blue. Also, I backcombed in some wash-out dreads; I may do a tutorial on how to do them.

Faded out the green and blue to pastelish shades, bleached my roots, and mixed up Ion Aqua and Ion Sky Blue, applied all over. I also added Pravana Chromasilk Vivids Blue to my ends for a more cobalt color, but that wasn't really captured here. The overall color was close to the base tones in the Sky Blue - it's now officially my favorite blue.

So I got tired of the rainbow pretty quickly for some reason. Also, it didn't help that I bought some Ion Brights in Sky Blue that I used on a client and LOVED. So I just added extensions and dumped the blue all over. It made green on the yellow bits, some purpley spots on the pink, and the rest is just varying shades of blue and green. Edited to add: These Ion Blues are very long lasting! Definitely good for blue maintenance colors.

hmm....that pink and purple ombre on my bangs could be a little blendier.
-
urs — 7/9/2012
This is the same stuff as below, but I added a little bit of Pravana Violet to some of the pink streaks to make the purple deep and create more contrast.
-
urs — 1/9/2012
From the front. See below for product description and placement.
-
urs — 1/9/2012
Random chunks of yellow and pink throughout. I also added MP Voodoo Blue to the tips to make greens and purples.
-
urs — 31/8/2012
Okay, DO NOT RATE THIS! I am posting it to show the base I started from before I did the rainbow colors. My color had faded a lot, to dull, ashy greens, blues, and violets. I had also bleached my roots.
-
urs — 17/8/2012
Pravana Chromasilk Vivids in Green and Special Effects Electric Blue. Same as below, just natural lighting and wavy. I liked this combo.
-
urs — 14/8/2012
After the green below began to fade a bit, I decided I wanted it more teal, so I added Pravana green - a very bluish green - all over the top. The bottom blue had faded enough, too, that a reapplication of the SFX electric blue came out brighter.
-
urs — 29/7/2012
-
urs — 29/7/2012
Soooo....when I got tired of the red, I used permanent color to make my base a sort of grayish yucky color so that I could put a deep emerald green on top of it. The bottom still had a lot of purple tones in it, so I applied a SFX Electric Blue to the bottom to get a sort of navy-ish cobalt color, and then did random chunks of Pravana Green and Joico Color Intensity Green all over the top half.
-
urs — 12/7/2012
Ok, so I left the other orange and red in for a week and a half or so, and then added this stuff. I put the Hi octane on top, and the cherry bomb on everything else from about the temples down. I had some medium brown extensions laying around, so I slapped some cherry bomb on them, too, and added them to my very bottom layers, although I am not sure if you can really see much of them on here. Regardless, they made a really pretty maroon color, so i had a bit of a red ombre.
-
urs — 29/6/2012
Once the darkness of the prior auburn had faded some, I mixed up some Chi Yellow and a tiny bit of Pravana red to make an orange for my top layer. I used just straight Pravana red for my bottom layer.
-
urs — 22/6/2012
So after the blues and purples faded, I wanted red hair. BUT I wanted a rich red color, not flat red. So, this was stage one in achieving that. I used Redken Shadess in 06AA to fill my hair. Normally, that is a fairly bright and intense auburn, much more so than in the pic. But since my hair was so porous, it really lost a lot of the color molecules when i rinsed. In fact, this photo is probably pretty flattering towards the color. I left it like this for perhaps a week, washing it to allow it to fade a bit.
-
urs — 22/5/2012
Atomic turquoise on top, diluted Electric blue in the middle. My bottom layer is Pravana violet in this picture, but it just looks like a darker blue, which is maddening, because it's a really pretty purple, but I can't seem to capture it on film for the life of me.
-
urs — 17/5/2012
Ok, so this is the faded electric blue, with my roots bleached, a bit before I did the blue ombre. And I don't know why this pic keeps coming up sideways; it shows up right side up on my files, but keeps getting flipped somehow! If any of the admin can flip it, go for it!

I am not thrilled about the lighting in this picture, as I look awfully jaundiced, but it still sort of captures the blue/periwinkle shades that were briefly in my hair. I almost completely faded out the prior pastel rainbow tip thing I had, and mixed up a concoction of electric blue and Pravana violet. I diluted it tons for my top layer to get that pale blue/lavender color, put a medium diluted version on my mid layers, and almost full strength for my bottom layers.
-
urs — 4/5/2012
Full strength electric blue on the bottom, and diluted on the top. No fade here; first day after color.
-
urs — 23/4/2012
So this was just more faded hair (from below photo), but I added very, very diluted colors to random tips. I also used a little bit of Pravana green and violet. I liked it.
-
urs — 12/4/2012
Brightened the color a teeny tiny bit on the ends - pinks, purples, and blues, all diluted a lot with conditioner. Add Pravana Vivids Violet to the list.
-
urs — 9/3/2012
After a couple of washes on the pink, it was getting faded and once again, the warm tones were coming through. So I streaked it with a very diluted Virgin Rose mixture, and a few chunks here and there of Electric blue. I have liked this a lot, but am now fading this color out so that hopefully, I can do some purple and lavender next....
-
urs — 25/2/2012
A few days after adding the pink, it still wasn't quite bright enough for me, and there were still some warmer red tones showing through. So I added some more pink. Also, I have taken out my extensions at this point.
-
urs — 21/2/2012
So I had the red hair for about a week and a half before I moved on to pink. I just let a lot of the red wash out, and take most of the old greens and yellows with it, and then I dumped Hot Hot pink all over, including on the purple.
-
urs — 13/2/2012
I am pretty sure this was vampire red mixed with some Joico Color Intensity red....
-
urs — 10/2/2012
Ok. So one day I am driving home, and it suddenly occurs to me that I am sick of green hair. So as soon as I got home, I bleached my roots, which left most of the top section a yellowy color. Most of the color on the rest of the layers of my hair was in the blue and purple range, so it was safe to dump red all over; I knew I'd end up with a lot of red on top and purple on the rest, which was fine. This was really just a transitional color for me, because I am working towards purple and pastel hair. There are also extensions in my bottom layers; that's what those streaks of color in my curls are. And I wanna say that Vampire red was the color I used, but I also mixed in some Joico Color Intensity red, and maybe a little bit of SFX nuclear red? I can't remember very well, it was such an impulsive frenzy of coloring.
-
urs — 2/1/2012
This is pretty much the same as below, except I've added a lot more extensions and recolored them. I basically just made the bottom layer purple, with a little bit of pink on the tips to make a magenta-ish color when the color bled, which it did.
-
urs — 14/12/2011
So I added a few extensions to the same color scheme I had below, and that's what you see with the purple and pink hair. They are just standard microbead extensions done with I-tips.
-
urs — 6/12/2011
The green is diluted Pravana Chromasilk Green, and the purple is Pravana Chromasilk Violet. Same as below, just a little straighter.
-
urs — 1/12/2011
So my opal color on top started to just look dirty, so I got out the Manic Panic Electric Banana and my most recent favorite, Pravana Chromasilk Green, and slapped them on the top layer. I diluted the green some, so that it will wash out more quickly, and mixed a little of it with the yellow to make a more yellowy green by the electric banana. Pravana's green is really very blue based, so it's honestly more of a turquoise color than an actual green. Regardless, I love it. I've still got the shocking blue/electric blue mixture on my bottom layer, and some of the pink is starting to show through, making it purplish, so there's a nice gradation.
-
urs — 26/11/2011
I left my top layer faded, bleached my regrowth, and toned it pretty silvery with lavender conditioner. The middle layer I colored with Pravana Chromasilk Green, a little diluted. The bottom layer I colored with Manic Panic Shocking Blue, and SFX Electric Blue, diluted with some conditioner.
-
urs — 25/11/2011
This is my prior color, faded on top. I loved how it looked pearly and iridescent. I had added some darker colors on the lower layers, but you can't see them very well, so I will discuss those in the above picture where you can see them better.
-
urs — 19/11/2011
-
urs — 8/11/2011
So most of my rainbow had faded, except for the stupid pink on the ends that will never go away. From the bottom up, I added random chunks of diluted Pravana Chromasilk Green and dilute Pravana Chromasilk Violet. I left random blonde chunks out. I loved the effect I got.
-
urs — 30/10/2011
-
urs — 12/9/2011
Joico color intensity blue on roots.
-
urs — 11/9/2011
Also, diluted Joico Intensity blue on the roots.
-
urs — 10/9/2011
Joico blue on top, yellow in the middle, pink on the ends. Bleeding made the green and orange.
-
urs — 10/9/2011
The prior rainbow I did was too light and not fading evenly, so I decided to take it up a notch. The blue is Joico Intensity blue mixed with a lot of conditioner to dilute it and make it aqua-ish. Pulled that down the midstrand partway, overlapped some electric banana on top of it, and put the hot pink on the bottom six inches of hair. Added a tiny bit of blue on some of the longest tips to make them purple. I really like how it came out.
-
urs — 10/9/2011
See below for more details.
-
urs — 31/8/2011
So I let most of my old haircolor fade out, although of course the Atomic Pink is still there. I didn't retouch it at all, but I may, because even though it's still fairly pink, it's gotten dull. Dabbed a tiny bit of Joico Intensity purple on my ends, and then mixed it up with some Joico Intensity Blue to put on the bottom section of my roots/midstrand. Added some extremely diluted N'Rage Blue, which is very teal-ish, to my pre-bleached roots, and more diluted Electric Banana to my midstrands on the top layers. Wanted a kind of candy/pastel rainbow. I will probably also brighten the yellow, as it didn't come out as bright as I wanted; I diluted it because that Electric Banana stays in forever, but I may have over-diluted it. Overall, I feel pleased.
-
urs — 7/8/2011

urs — 31/7/2011
Sooo....the hair I had in the last photo I faded, and switched the red to pink. Bleached my roots, let the orange fade some more, and added more yellow on top. From there, I added blue streaks - I made a turquoise-y color from Joico Blue Color Intensity mixed with conditioner (look at my roots for the actual color on blonde), and randomly added chunks of it throughout. The blue turned green on the yellow, and purple on the pink. Love it! Still poking around for an interim picture to better illustrate the transition. Will post when I find it.
-
urs — 23/7/2011
Ok, this is the interim pic I was looking for. This was part of my transtion to rainbow (photo above this one). I let as much of the orange and red fade as I could, and then went over the old red sections with the Atomic Pink. I used some Redken HiFusion Yellow to get some of the orange out and brighten the faded yellow a little. Then I bleached my roots. And those are feathers in my hair.
-
urs — 20/6/2011
With my SFX oranges fading, I bleached my roots, which made them fairly yellow, but not yellow enough, so I dumped some Electric Banana on them. Added some diluted Cherry Bomb to the tips, and now I've got somewhat unoriginal, but less boring than plain orange, fire hair.
-
urs — 7/6/2011
Same colors as below, after a couple of washes, and in different lighting.
-
urs — 1/6/2011
Napalm and Hi Octane done in random large chunks all over my head. Can't really distinguish between the colors, though. I don't know if they bled together or what. I kinda was hoping for more contrast :/
-
urs — 19/5/2011
I did my roots and the top half of my hair with Redken Hifusion Orange and 20 volume. It didn't make my roots as bright as the rest of my hair, but I was not terribly concerned about that. I did the bottom layers with Joico semi-perm red.
-
urs — 14/4/2011
Better lighting of the below color combo, and with different feathers.
-
urs — 13/4/2011
My cranberry colored hair, in poor lighting. I've also got a bunch of feathers in my hair. I mixed the two colors together and applied all over.
-
urs — 13/4/2011
-
urs — 27/3/2011
Extremely diluted Atomic Pink, probably three parts conditioner to one part color. I left a white blonde chunk in the front. The bluish and purplish chunks are the left over sections of Directions turquoise from the last haircolor.
-
urs — 9/3/2011
A more washed out pic. Shows the streaks a little better, though. For some reason, it looks cooler to me in pictures than it does in real life. Maybe I'm just bored already.
-
urs — 24/2/2011
So my purple has faded (those whitish streaks near the front) and I got bored with it, so I added random chunks of pink and turquoise all over. I really like how it came out.
-
urs — 8/2/2011
Wildflower on top of my old faded color. I used a darker purple on my bottom layers, Pravana violet. Both were diluted with conditioner so they'd fade quickly. It's hard to get a good pic of wildflower, but I think this is pretty close.

So, this is what the electric blue from below has faded to. You can see the colors that were underneath coming through, so the bottom layer is a turquoise-ish color from the yellow that was previously there, and the lilac on top is from old pink. I think it's sort of oddly pretty, if you're into pastels, but it really only looks good when it's straightened.
-
urs — 1/1/2011
LOOOOVE how this looks in the sun!
-
urs — 29/12/2010
Soo....Taylor the Impaler's timeline inspired me to go for blue and silver, and this is the slightly modified result. I mixed the two blues together, slightly diluted them, and applied that to the bottom few inches of my ends, then made a much more diluted mixture of the same to put on my midstrand. This was after I had bleached the crap out of my roots, and added on top of them a permanent color toner that consisted of Redken Hifusion Chrome, Redken Colorfusion 12AV, and a teeny tiny bit of Redken Hifusion Blue, mixed with 20 volume. This was taken in my salon's lighting.
-
urs — 13/11/2010
After one wash. You can already see some of the fading in the blue section. Also, I don't think I should wear green shirts with this color.
-
urs — 4/11/2010
So I didn't like my bottom layers being pink and orange because it just blended in with the rest of my hair and looked muddy. So I colored them with Redken HiFusion Yellow and 20 volume, and it lifted out quite nicely. Went over that with Electric Banana to boost the brightness a little, and then added a tiny bit of Wildfire to the ends, which doesn't show well in this picture. It's just a regular orange color. There's also some Joico blue, which is the turquoise color mixed in with the darker blue, and the green is also Joico. I made my roots silver by bleaching them and then using Redken HiFusion Chrome on them.
-
urs — 18/10/2010
So these are the colors that the purple combo faded to. I faded them a little bit more than this before I colored it again - I'm back at rainbow. See above picture. And again....still seeing the old Atomic pink on my ends. I haven't applied new atomic pink in over two months. Sheesh.
-
urs — 1/10/2010
A better view of the silvery roots. I love it so much, I think I'm going to maintain silver roots and just dye the midstrand and ends of my hair.
-
urs — 29/9/2010
So this is what I went with after I faded the old color and bleached the roots. There's still a little Atomic pink on the ends - absolute most stubborn color ever, and i will probably never use it on my own hair ever again. I didn't color my bleached roots, instead, I just toned them with a purple conditioner I mixed up myself. As with most Wildflower pics, it looks blue-er than it really was.
-
urs — 22/9/2010
This is my faded hair and bleached roots before I color it again. I think it actually looks alright like this, but I won't keep it this way for long.
-
urs — 1/9/2010

urs — 26/8/2010
So I applied some very diluted (with water) Blue Velvet to the top three or four inches of my hair. Then I just let it bleed when I washed it, and this was the result. I like it quite a bit, and have gotten a lot of compliments on the particular shade of blue. It probably helps that I dye my eyebrows black and wear different make-up to keep it from looking completely incongruent on me - I'm naturally a redhead with red eyebrows and freckly skin.

So as this stuff has faded, I've added yellow to some of the lighter blue sections to make more green, and I darkened some of the blue areas, and I applied more atomic pink to the ends to make purple. Although it looks more washed out in this pic than it really is, due to the light exposure, I think.

In the sunlight. Makes me look a little washed out, but it's the best way to really see the colors. I should mention that I diluted the Blue Velvet with water and a little MP Shocking Blue, simply because I don't want SF's staying power - I get bored much too quickly.
-
urs — 26/7/2010
So I couldn't take it anymore - I added random chunks of fishbowl and blue velvet all over my pinkish-bluish-greenish mess. Where you see purple on the tips is from the old atomic pink. The green is from yellow leftovers that got bled onto. I love it.

With my natural curl. I would probably like it more if the pink and yellow were less faded, but I refuse to recolor them because I eventually want to do blue all over and want my hair as light as possible when I do so. In fact, this whole thing started out as test strands for blue, and it got a little out of hand.

Mixed a little bit of Blue Velvet in with Shocking blue and added some streaks to my previous yellow and Atomic Pink. I am still not sure what I think of it, except that it's....interesting.

So, Hi Octane Orange turns yellow when you bleach it. (We see how long the "trying not to bleach" lasted....) I actually really like it a lot.

Again, in different lighting.

Ok, so this is totally unedited! The flash on my camera really showed all the different tonalities in my haircolor. I had Hi Octane orange all over, and of course my ends faded very quickly, so I mixed up a little bit of Virgin Rose with a lot of Atomic pink and applied it to my ends. You can still see a little bit of the yellowish orange where there was fading, but I really like the overall effect.

my roots are a bit darker since I am trying to stop bleaching for now. I like the overall effect. it came out a little more even on the ends than the napalm orange, but that may be because I've been rebuilding it with a new Redken ph level treatment.
-

Just found this, six months later. Probably the most accurate depiction of the true brightness of this. Mixed the yellow and red together, and used the Napalm as filler where I ran out of manic panic.

kind of small, but a picture of the back was requested. i guess this is more the side, but i think it's roughly uniform. color is sort of dull looking here, and the shirt i am wearing is actually neon yellow, as opposed to the sort of pastel color it looks, so that should give you an idea of how much brighter my hair actually is.

This captures the brightness of my hair right now most accurately. It's pretty blinding. I love it.

I mixed electric banana and pillarbox red together to make a bright orange. however, i ended up with a few different shades of orange just due to the damage and porosity level of my hair. so the roots are much brighter, and the ends are basically yellow. i threw in a few streaks of napalm orange, with roughly similar effects. the bottom layer is just pillarbox red.

Joico blue. bright light.

Joico blue on top. Just another angle and different lighting.

green and blue were done with Joico Semi Permanent colors.
-

for the green and blue, i used Joico's semi permanent green and blue.

red on bottom, orange in the middle, yellow on upper middle, and blonde on top. used joico cream bleach for a soapcap on top for the platinum.

Better lighting by the window. Also used Joico, Redken, and other colors I can't remember off the top of my head. Refer to similar photos for full info.

"this is a combination of manic panic (hot hot pink, electric banana), special effects (napalm orange), pravana (blue, purple), and joico (green). and blonde, of course, by Joico."

Soap capped as much of the old color out as I could, then added 40 vol. Joico bleach in random foils throughout. Added streaks of Pravana's purple.
-

After some heavy highlighting and soapcaps with Joico bleach, this is the honey blonde I got to first. I continued to do low-grade lightening processes all over after this, and bleached the crap out of my roots. My hair is now trashed.

A halloween pic, with my son, a punk rocker. I added numerous clip on extensions that I made to my already yellow, orange, and red hair. They were all random and different colors, and you can see one of the rainbow striped ones near my bangs. Colored mostly with Manic Panic, and bits and pieces of other colors. For the red in my son's hair, i just used spray on color from Sally's.

Napalm orange on the top layer, manic panic wildfire on the middle layer, and manic panic vampire red on the very bottom, altho you can't see it that great due to the darkness of the photo.

This shows much of the dark brown still left on my ends. Even though it was semi-perm color (Redken Shades level 3), it was very stubborn.

Manic panic after midnight blue, Joico green, Joico blue, and Pravana purple. Highlights on dark brown (level 2-3) hair.

Rainbow bangs, and various colored highlights all throughout dark brown hair. Manic Panic Midnight blue and Hot Hot pink, Redken hi-fusion yellow (and 30 vol), Redken hi-fusion orange (and 20 vol), Joico green, Joico Blue, and Joico purple.

phase one. I added colored streaks first. i also used Joico blue, Joico green, Joico purple, Redken Yellow, Redken Orange, and Redken Red. phase two will consist of dying my auburn hair dark brown (not the streaks).
-

Not alternative color, really, but an interim color I'm keeping while we travel to Mexico (trying to look less tourist-y). Will prolly gradually change the orange streaks to red, and go from there. Might experiment with some greens and blues. You'll know if I do!

Actually, a bit darker than my natural color - I'm about a level 7-8 red, and this is more like a 6. Professional color, Redken Color Fusion 6RC, 8RC, with a little Orange amplifier added. And obviously, the lighting effect here was photoshopped!

Hot hot pink with some Redken Red Copper in the bangs and top layer. I thought it looked pretty with the contrast of the blue flower.

So I started off dying my hair all over, Redken Double Fusion RC, which is the deep auburn you see on my roots. Then, I bleached out the tips to a pale orange. On top of those, I applied Redken HiFusion Red Copper (which is basically a very bright orange). I wish I had better pics of the back, because it was pretty awesome.

electric lizard on top layer of hair, after midnight blue on the bottom layer, and a few streaks of it in my bangs, on pre-lightened hair.
-

This was likely a Redken Color Gels red, probably 6RO, since that's always been one of my favorites. I was still in hair school and that was one of the color lines we used, along with Matrix SoColor. This is my preferred haircut for when I have short hair.
-

For some reason, I had this originally listed as Manic Panic color, but it wasn't. It was Redken Kickers, in the Shades (semi-permanent) line. My hair was pre-lightened, and then I applied Yellow Kicker to the top layer, Orange Kicker in the middle, and Red Kicker on the bottom.
-
urs — 14/9/2002
Ah, yes, hair school. Manic panic Electric Lizard on the longer pieces in front, and Fudge Colors - a turquoise shade that i don't think they make anymore.
-

Hair school again. Gawd, I hated that ugly maroon smock. It never matched my hair.

This was actually done with Kool-Aid and mousse mixed together, left on my blonde head for 30 minutes, and then rinsed out. In highschool, when I rarely had the fund-age to buy real color.
