Reds Have More Fun - With A Little Help From My Friends

A lot of people ask how I get my hair the colour I do so below is the process

2. A great Hairdresser or in my case Hairdressers

Me, George and Ruby

The wonderful Ruby is responsible for the colour and has been maintaining it for over a year now. If you are lucky enough to be in the Brighton and Hove area you can book her here she will come to you and sort out your barnets. Mr George is responsible for cutting my hair and again if you are in the Brighton and Hove area you can find George here. You could say I am very lucky to have two best friends that are Hairdressers and you would be right

2. Affinage Hair Colour

Ruby uses a mixture of Affinage Red and Red Violet. Once she has coloured the whole head she redoes the roots every 6 weeks and then refreshes the whole head every 3-4 months.

3. Maintenance

Every 3 washes I apply a semi permanent colour from Crazy Colour in No.56 Fire

So there you have it my hair routine, yes it seems like a lot of work but I knew what I was getting in to. I do sometimes get a bit lazy and it does go a pinky orange but that is a rarity.

If any of you have any specific questions then let me know.

NOTD: FACE Stockholm Metallic Plum Red #59

TMAB received some press samples from FACE stockholm some time ago and I am just getting round to blogging about them. 

Anyway, this post is specifically about the Nail Polish. It's a beautiful Metallic Plum Red Colour #59. The polish itself is fairly thick, so, I did find I needed two coats to cover any streaks, that said, I really like this polish, the colour is deep and if you are a nail expert you could get away with one coat.

FACE Stockholm products are only stocked at Victoria Loves Beauty in the UK and it would appear that the FACE Stockholm store, in Manchester, is no longer open, as its no longer listed on their website.
