Hey guys . So my latest Directions purchase was rose red. I looked on the gallery (that thing has become my bible i thank you for it !) and noticed it was quite pink but that didnt bother me. I had faded directions Fire hair i then put this rose red on waited 45 minutes to wash it of. Me bieng me i was lazy and decided i would wash it of in the shower *(killing 2 birds with one stone kind of thing ) I wouldnt recomend it with this colour. My shower turnt pink so did the whole of my body . I looked like a dark pink smurf. *(this has never happend to me before with any other colour) Not attrractive. So i had to scrub the whole of my body till it was red raw. My face is the worst it still has a pinky/purple tint to it. Anyway the colour is amazing. My hair looks like Beetroot juice (the stuff in the jar) Which is funily enough the colour i wanted a month back . So im happy with the colour. Not so happy about the tint to my face and Body . Next time i will defiantly just pop my head over the bat and wash it out.
I will post a picture up soon my camera is dead ๐ x
Your description of a 'dark pink smurf' had me near wetting myself! Don't get me wrong I am sorry you were dyed pink and after a few mishaps with dye and my skin in the early days I fully sympathise but I now have an image of a dark pink smurf looking person in my head and it still makes me chuckle.
Please post a pic when you can and there are a few tips on how to remove dye from the skin here if you still have a pink tint - Removing Hair Dye from Skin
Haha. Oh i really should of took a picture it was awful. I need to do a top up on my hair soon so i may just do it in the shower and take a picture for your amusement hehe.
Heres a picture of my hair colour.
Looks pretyy pinky red but when the sun hits it my hair looks purpley pink. Its such a chameleon hair colour forever changing in the light lol .
Have to agree the staining is awful. But it's been my staple colour for about 5 years now. I always go back to Rose Red it's such a lovely colour. & as a pink it lasts forever for me.
I last did mine over Fire too & it turned such a nice shade between red & pink. I really want to get back to that.
I rinsed mine over the bath... big mistake. My other half said it looked like I'd murdered barney & chopped him up. /:
The exact thing happend to me, i washed it out when i was in the shower.. stained EVERYTHING.. the white walls.. bath.. floor.. had to buy my mother a new shower curtain.. she wasnt pleased lol, i've never known a colour to stain so badly.. it is a beautiful colour though =]
Hi, I was wanting to mix Directions Rose Red and Crazy Colour Fire, I was wondering how your Rose Red came out over Fire?
After being black haired for about 5 years, I used Colour B4 and went Rose Red. It's a lovely colour but it stained my bathroom really badly, especially on the vinyl floor tiles! Also, as I style my hair in the bathroom, I've shed hair on the floor, it's gotten wet and left strand-shaped marks everywhere. No more rose red for this one! >_<
I have a red ring around my bath from Rose Red haha, and my turbie towel is now pink instead of white.
But I adore how this colour came out, I've had so many compliments on it. I was wary at first because I wasn't after a dark red but the pink really shines out making it brighter.
I used this a while ago on orange hair ๐ฎ
It turned 'ribena' colour (thats where i got my nickname, now its ginger...), and it was only bright for a week :[
then it went dull and dodgy :/
and it wont even budge either, its showing through my ginger hair D;
It was okay, but i wish it never bled much either, it even put my mum off doing my hair now...
i love that colour! think ill try that one soon!
