A week ago I decided to spice up my red hair colour with some Directions dye. I used Vermillion Red on the top layer and Pillarbox red on the bottom layer, but I can't see any difference between the colours. Next time I'll stick to one colour all over. I really enjoy the deeper red I get from using temporary dyes over the henna, and it's not too much of a hassle to do either. It took about 1 hour or maybe a bit less to apply, and I left it on for around 2 hours. I know that you're supposed to leave it on for much longer, but I'm too impatient for that. I still think I got a great result.
I've only washed once since I dyed, and I'm trying to stretch washes a bit in order to make the colour last longer. I usually wash every 3-4 days, but this time I went 7 days without washing.
I want to try Flame or Fire next time, and I'm also toying with the idea of using Cerise some day, because I love that colour.

I made the ponytail by taking two sections of nape hair, putting them around the remaining hair and securing them on top with a flexi-8 in size XS.
I finally cut my hair! My original plan was to wait until Easter break, but then I changed my mind. I cut off 30-35 cm in the end of February, and I love it. I'm now back to around waist-hip with layers and a U-hemline. My hair feels great, so silky and soft, and it's super-easy to detangle. I wear half-ups a lot, and only bun when I'm at work. Bunning is a bit of an issue due to the thickness of my hair, but I usually manage to get it up somehow. I love my Ficcares, because that's pretty much the only clip that can keep my hair in place. I also use a lot of bobby pins, and I have to keep some in my purse or pocket, just in case my updo explodes =P
A few hours after the cut, hair slightly wet.
The day after, combed out and very fluffy.
