My Red Hair

I'm always receiving lots of lovely emails from you girlies, and I've noticed that the most popular questions I'm asked are mainly regarding my hair;

"What colour/hair dye do you use on your hair?"
"How do you get your hair so red/purple?"
"How do you ask for your hair cut at the hairdressers?"
"How do you get your hair so big?"


Well, I figured that I would construct a blog post with all the answers for you.
Here is what my hair looks like at the moment;

It's kind of a multi-tone reddish plum colour.

First of all, it has taken me a while to reach this said colour - with many different hair dyes later, this is finally the colour I've been lusting after for so long.

I started off with really dark brown hair and used Loreal Feria Plum Power for a good few months, just topping up my roots when I needed to. This gave my hair a nice reddish brown shine to it. I was really eager to get red hair, but I didn't want to damage my hair for this result. I've damaged my hair in the past and it isn't a good look. So, bleaching and stripping kits have always been a big no- no for me.

After a while of using Loreal Feria Plum Power, my hair got slightly brighter after every use. I then moved on to a Red by Swarzkopft. I'm not entirely sure of the colour but it was something like 'Real red'. I used this and didn't really like it that much as it left an orange tinge to my roots.

Wanting to get rid of this, I opted for Swarzkopft Cyber Plum. On the box is looked a really bright shiny plum. I can assure you it was the biggest hair mistake ever. The colour sent my hair black.

In desperation to lighten my hair back up I purchased one of the paint pots by Directions in Poppy Red. And since then, my hair has been this colour.

I just thought I would give you an insight to the products and colours I'm currently using on my hair;

I usually dye my hair with this Loreal hair dye whenever I get root regrowth, which is usually up to 6-8 weeks.

So that I'm not damaging my hair dying it all the time as red is very high maintenance, I usually whack one of these paint pots on every three weeks just to brighten the red which is already on it. I use 'Poppy Red', you can purchase these from little Goth shops usually and they're roughly £3.00 depending on where you get them. With my hair being long I tend to use two pots.

These paint pots are so easy to use. You literally shampoo your hair, rinse, slop this on for 15mins, rinse and then apply your conditioner and rinse as normal. Make sure you wear gloves though as it will stain!

Here is the Shampoo and Conditioner I'm also using to help maintain my red hair.

And so there you have it! My Red Hair Journey.

I hope this post has been of help. If you have anymore questions or queries, then feel free to comment below and I'll be glad to help!

Jump into a Jumpsuit

Hurray! I'm finally using my camera tripod for my outfit photos.

My lovely best friend knows how difficult it can be for me to catch my whole outfit in the shot, without getting too much background mess in the picture. Being the darling that she is, she bought me a tripod! How thoughtful? I was actually overcome with disappointment looking at each of my outfit posts, and all the bedroom clutter lurking in the background - but now, I can cut that all out by having a plain wall behind me so that your main focus is my actual outfit and not 'what I've left on my bedroom dressing table' ha ha!

And there we have it, my first uncluttered outfit post!


As much as I adore this jumpsuit, it can cause a few wardrobe malfunctions here and there - especially when visiting the ladies room hits the agenda. I tend to wear this jumpsuit for daily activities, as it can proove a little difficult to wriggle out of on nights out when Captain Vodka is in charge of the ship. I must admit, it does get a little bit fiddly, but that aside, I really love it. The pussy bow front tie and delicate vintage-look buttons really complete the jumpsuit making it delicate and girly with a unique edge to it.

Moving onto another note, quite a few of you have been commenting lately and sending me emails asking what colour I dye my hair. I use Loreal Feria Plum Power. When I first dye my hair it is a purple-ish plum colour, but when it begins to wash up, it becomes a lovely warm mahogany colour. So, just in case you're wondering, I'm not using two different hair dyes, it's just the colour it fades up as.
