I'm back and I made a quick movie!

Jeez I haven't posted in forever.

Mostly because my life has been an insane bunch of insane things happening one after the other.
Also because I lost my job (was made redundant) and decided to change careers.
So the last year I have been studying to become a librarian! It's been very full on as they condensed what used to be two years into one year so most of my spare time has just been studying. 

I only have two weeks left so I should be back to blogging shortly but for now I thought I would share this video.

I had a subject, Promote literature and reading. We had to make a blog and promotional activity for a certain topic. I picked graphic novels and decided to promote it with a video.

It's sort of funny so I thought I would share it here. It's a bit of a rush job as I did it all in one day but still funny. Plus I LOVE my wig.

I hope you are all going good.
Do you read comics? If so what ones?

Oh Very Orange Hair, I love you.

The other day I dyed my hair and I was super excited about how orange/red it turned out.
It's usually very orange but today it was especially orange. So I figured it would be a good time to talk about as people often ask me about it.

I used Directions Coral Red in the front and Directions Pillar Box red in the back
Oh and I blow dried it well for once hahaha

Nice view here of the puffy back, I love when the back it big.

It is more orange in the front (also eeep no make up!)

Good old bathroom mirror pic! including cliche Japanese tattoo.

It's quiet often people come up to me in the street to ask how I keep my hair this colour.
I tell them "It's a pain in the arse" and it really is. To really keep it ORANGE I dye it about once a week, twice if I have a special midweek event.

I bleach my hair maybe once a month to keep the roots bright and if the previously bleached sections have gotten dull or discoloured.

I only use Directions colour. I find the range is the best, the most colours, and nice proper orange reds instead of pinky reds. They also last the longest and have the most colour out of all the dyes I have tried (this includes: Manic Panic, Fudge, Stargazer and drugstore colours)
I use sulfate free shampoo and colour lock conditioner that actually contains a light colourant (red of course)
Once I have used product in my hair I try to to have to wash it until I am nearly ready to dye it again as it strips out the colour.

I usually wash my hair and colour on Friday nights so it's nice and fresh for the week end :)

Who dyes their hair?! how often? what with?
