Lady Lazarus

I headed to the beauty section while shopping at Target the other day, planning on purchasing brown hair dye. I haven't been a brunette in awhile, and I kind of miss it, so I figured it was time, especially since my blonde roots were showing.

I stood in the aisle, looking through the browns, but found myself focusing primarily on the reds. I couldn't turn away! I spotted a color I had never seen before (Garnier Nutrisse Roasted Coffee), and had to try it. I guess I truly am a redhead at heart...

Since my hair is long, I always buy two boxes. I mix them at the same time and sort of double fist it. I don't really like coloring my own hair since it's messy and time consuming, but it beats paying what I usually do when I get it colored at a salon.

Do you color your own hair? I'd love to know what brand/shade the faux redheads out there like me use! What color works best for you?

And I eat men like air."

  4. Ooooh! Loving the red!
    Ive tried all sorts of shades of red! I love the brand you used but I usually use the cheaper brands since my hair reacts the same to most of them anyways ( I'm a natural redhead) so it takes well.
    Did you notice that the box you used actually lightened your hair? Ive been wondering about it because I am dying to go light for summer!!

  11. Your hair looks totally gorgeous. I'm a faux redhead too. I used the Perfect 10 Cinnamon Red Hot (I think?) for a long time but I finally started getting it done at a salon because it seems to take better and stick around longer. : ) The red really suits you! Thanks so much for commenting over on my blog, glad to have found yours too!

  14. Gorgeous lady! Red really suits you :]

    I use loreal excellence hicolor - red fire. I really like it because I had gone from black hair, to dark brown, and really needed to lift the color out at first. Now it just helps keep it bright and vibrant.

  18. Okay, this looks really natural on you!
    I really wish I'd been born a redhead. It's my favorite color on myself. I'm a brunette and I get so easily bored being a brunette. I dye my own hair too since it's cheaper and since I just choose to change it up so randomly, so often. I forget the names of the boxes I pick up but it's honestly whatever is cheapest. :) Nothing crazy.
