BIRD ON BIRD



Primark coat, ASOS bird dress.

My mum told me that I look like Rebekah Brooks in this dress.  Massive strops were had that (Christmas) day.

Incidentally, I know it looks like it but I don't actually have ginger hair*.  For some unknown reason every editing tool known to man (except black and white, obvs) makes me look exceedingly ginger - I can only assume that my hair has overpoweringly red tones!

Speaking of red tones, I've decided to embrace them.  Well, I've kind of decided to embrace them.  I'm pondering on it.  It a terrified, unsure way.  I went for a trim today and mentioned it, offhand, to my hairdresser (who I've been going to for nine years) and she basically threatened to stab me with the scissors (because she knows how fickle/lazy I am when it comes to my hair).  She also looked almost tearful at my announcement that I was planning on growing my hair longer, possibly because I already have to stand up when she cuts it and she's worried about future back problems.  Poor Christine.

I'm unsure and I need guidance, guys.  I sort of wish I'd done ombre before but it's just so overdone now that I don't fancy jumping on the bandwagon.  Dip dying seems to be becoming the new ombre, and I can't quite get my head around reverse ombre, that looks like far too much effort.  I've always fancied going red, but didn't because two of my friends had red hair for ages and we would have looked ridiculous together, so I dyed it purple instead.  So.  Thoughts?  Dyed or natural?



By the way, follow me on Twitter!  Or don't.  Probably don't actually.


*P.S: Nothing wrong with being ginger.  Some of the hottest people I know are ginger.  Ginger = sexy.  You sexy gingers.  Also, why is ginger called ginger?  It's not ginger.  It's more blonde.  It does taste nice in chicken noodles though.  But I digress.  But I'm in a starry thing, so I can digress as much as I like.  Hurrah!

  1. Personally I love your natural hair color :) While the red looks cool, it kind of reminds me of Ronald Mcdonald...(not to be mean to that girl or anything, cause she is very pretty! but that was just my first thought when I saw that picture)

  2. I think your hair is nice as it is, or maybe you could actually dye it ginger because it really suits you!! Then you too can be a sexy ginger!
    I've just dyed my hair red, I had ombred it but I realised on short hair it did look from the back like I had just drawn a line across my head.. I found this out in a changing room, I didn't realise that I had been walking around like this for a couple of weeks...

  10. When I get bored of my hair I do a subtle semi permanent dye - my hair is super dark so I tint it red and it looks lush. Best thing I did though (before ombre and dip dying became cool -I totes started it) I dip dyed my hair bright red. It looks seriously awesome and if you hate it, you can cut it off! Best thing ever, I'll be doing it again soon!
