RED HOT: Fiery Winter Hair Colour

Hello weekend followers!

Wow, what a week!

Between last Saturday (my 26th birthday) and this Saturday, I have become a mummy... to a beautiful Cavoodle puppy - Oscar! Oscar is a birthday present from my fiance Ben (I got spoilt!)

I have never had a pet before, other than guinea pigs which require next to no maintenance. So you can imagine my shock at how much there is to do with a puppy! Don't get me wrong - I LOVE him, he's the cutest, sweetest thing I have ever seen... AND HE'S MINE! But when you have something that's 8 weeks old and needs constant attention, your whole life turns upside down. (some people have even told me that having an actual baby is easier and I am starting to believe them!) 

My little darling Oscar <3

And then, his soft, shiny strawberry/brown fur got me thinking... about hair :/ and about how so many things have changed in my life recently that I think it's time for a change of hair colour... I'm talking RED.

(Dear Ben, if you are reading this, I am serious, I want to be a ginger-hair like Oscar and Eric - pretty please don't kill me for wanting you to dye my hair red) 

I love how vibrant and alive even the slightest tinge of red can make a hairstyle. I want the WOW factor and I want a BIG change! But with so many shades and variations, which one to choose? Ruby, Copper, Auburn, Mahogany, Deep Violet, Burgandy... arghhhh!!! help!

So... off to my Mac and onto Google for some inspiration in which shade to choose, and the celebs are always a good reliable source.

So is red hair right for you? 

I recommend reading these articles below to find out...

MarieClaire:

"Red is a head-turning hue, and you have to be self-assured enough to accept the stares, says Tasha Forgash, color specialist at Shag Salon in Boston. Colorist Sarah Gold, the guru behind Lindsay Lohan's formerly flame-colored hair, concurs: "Remember, red hair is like a sequined dress — it walks into the room before you do."

So after reading these articles I am a little bit overwhelmed with choices and will have to have a chat with Eric from the Stefan Concept Salon about what to choose. What I DO know is, that I will have to take extra good care of my hair if I choose to go down the red hair path. And what better products for me to have then some of our very own...

So ladies, to red or not to red? Hrmmm I will ponder on this one.

Enjoy your weekend :x
