The beginning of March was the last time I dyed the under layer of my hair using Manic Panic (I think it was either Atomic Turquoise or Voodoo Blue, I have both), I started in November. Since I don't bleach and I just dyed over my natural strawberry blonde hair, the color faded from a turquoise to a green in a few weeks, and is now a not so ( Read more... )

I love henna! I've just henna'd my hair for the second time, last time was three weeks ago, and I'm loving it. I'm never going back to chemical dyes again. My hair feels great after henna. I 'had' to henna my hair again after three weeks because I saw my original hair colour appearing again after a week ago, I didn't really have to more like I ( Read more... )
