Hair Today

Burgundy Copper by CHI

Well, Hell

I've been gone quite a long time.  Life has changed completely...many times over.   Please, excuse me...I wasn't trying to be rude.   Here are a few recent nail art endeavors.

And, for good measure some images of myself.  I did a photoshoot for a friend's salon, and allowed my hair to be cut quite short.  It HURT.  However, I got many compliments on the change, and I'll admit, even I liked it a little...sometimes ^_~

Working toward a nice long Ombre with Red Violets and copper tips.  ^_^

and some other similar self taken images that suck just as much...lol

 

 

S'pose that'll be all for this post.  ^_^  Hope to be a'bloggin' more regular here.  mmmmm hm.  I watched Sling Blade last night for the first time in a while.  ha ha...

Forever and a Day

Well, once again, it has been FAR too long since I have posted any images.  I have gotten inundated with being mother, nail tech, hair stylist, movie costume maker, and have neglected my outfit documentation and blogging...which are 2 of my favorite things in the world to do!  AH!

I got a new hair cut several months back, it was begun by my own hand but I have had a few other stylist trim and shape it now and then.  It has had a few different incarnations since first it began, and here are a few of them ^_^

right after i first cut it...with no clue how to style and too scared to cut off hte 8 to 10 inces that were dead and fried...

 better idea of how to style

starting to experiment with my waving iron.  this was my favorite color I had it.   its the only shade of blond I have ever liked.

quite possibly one of my favorite images of me...yes I think I will be going back to this shade again. 
Maybe this spring ^_^

after I went dark for a color class at work. it was jarring to go from the red blond to a medium red brown.  got loads of compliments on it though, and eventually I got comfortable with it.  I like it now, however I couldnt see it when I first got it done.

straight

Ren Faire!  I had colored it in the coppery shade the night previous. 

got rid of the side bits and took it into a real pixie.  The babe was yanking out the strands in chunks anyhow so  saved my head the bald spot and her the scolding!

not my favorite incarnation...cut with out recoloring and I decided to try a trend look but it wasnt with in my confidence boundaries to pull it off.

 not bad from this angle tho...ha ha

this was most recent, in November.  I had yet to take the plunge and cut off the bits that were fried so I opted to tuck it into a french twist and Pompadore the top ^_^

I had it cut to my collar bones since then, and with some tweaking on the ends and a fresh color I will take some more images to share. 

Hope you have all been well and look for more posts soon!  I am going to try to recap the past months in some of the pictures I was able to take as well as update Runa's blog since I have also been sorely neglecting it as well!

The Ombre Dilema

The first time I tried, I failed. My ends required a lifting to get the vibrant candy color I was so in search of.

Dark Red Violet...not the bright Magenta Violet I was craving...

I lifted with CHI bleach, and deposited 2 Framesi Pure Pink Pigment parts with 1 Pure Violet Framesi Pegment to 10 V delevoper.

The scarf I hand made as something to give as a gift and ended up using it myself on Christmas day..ha ha. They seem to be a big hit with those I was able to make these short eternity scarves for. I already have an order for a custom made one!

I really need to start photographing everything before I give it away!!

Military Jacket

I was lucky enough to be able to make a trade with my favorite vintage clothing store; my vintage surplus for a few of their season perfect fall vintage pieces and store credit!!

Sometimes I really can't believe my luck!! Sometimes you have to give them some extended love, I had these shoes over hauled at a local cobbler but it ensures the shoes last another 30 years, and maybe more!

brand new red hair! it's not as long as it looks in this picture, but with hair half up/half down ...it will fool anyone on first glance ^_~

all accessories were vintage picks from The Salvation Army, and Goodwill/Volunteers of America

jeans from ROSS

Scot Carr

This is my friend Scot Carr, whom I also hair cut and color ^_^ One of my favorite clients due to his experimental nature and patience with the process of hand cut mohawk scales and hand painted leopard print!
