Did I make good life choices yesterday? Arguably

Did I also refresh my hair colour at home, with no practice, for the first time ever… two days before back to back conferences?

Absolutely

@hazelweakly
The lack of practice isn't noticeable
It looks fabulous 🤩

@realn2s Thanks! I’m scared to check the back of my head… but the back of my head is nobody’s business anyways so

@hazelweakly You are braver than me, and it pays off. I have long wanted to try a color transition (term?) going from top to bottom, but have always been too worried that it would run and look awful.

[hazelweakly@hachyderm.io]

@kechpaja If you get it done professionally first it’s easier to maintain and you don’t need to worry about the running (or getting it right the first time)

But aluminum foil, and sectioning the hair is really all you need to do. There’s a little bit of intentional blending that goes on as well, actually. It’s why my hair looks like a gradient; all the transitions occur because I deliberately blend the color by rubbing my hair to smush them together (at the transitions)

@hazelweakly great results! Well done

[hazelweakly@hachyderm.io]

@d I’m making this hair colour my entire personality

[hazelweakly@hachyderm.io]

@Aepasek Thank you!

@hazelweakly Amazing! I didn't know it was even possible to die one's own hair, but you've done a fabulous job of it.

[hazelweakly@hachyderm.io]

@seabass I just touched it up after it was dyed by a professional. Much easier. But still, you can do it yourself if you want to!
