Purple hair

I'm temporarily working part time, which means I have Fridays off work. I treat them as a free day. A day to relax and absolutely nothing useful or productive.


This morning I dyed my hair purple.


I don't know why I initially chose pink when I underwent my transformation, other than it's an obvious choice for an unnatural hair colour. But purple is my favourite colour, and I wanted purple hair. 
So now I have it.


I used a a Fudge colour called Raspberry Beret. It's rather red, but I that's preferable to a blue-purple. A blue-purple may not stand out enough for my liking.


The lighter streaks were a total fluke.


Difficult to take photos in direct sunlight without my face half covered in shadows.



I also want to show off the dress I'm wearing today. On Fridays I wear clothing I haven't worn yet / for a while / am not sure whether to keep. I have never worn this dress after owning it for about 2 years, and it's so pretty it's a shame to keep it buried in my wardrobe.


Happy Fabulous Friday to all.

  1. What a pretty dress, I love the sheer part at the bottom. I also love the colour of your hair, it's gorgeous. My mum tried putting lilac streaks in her hair once but they washed out first go xxx

    1. It's very annoying when colour won't stay in. I've discovered mine lasts longer if it's bleached with a very dry bleach first.

  7. Hand on my heart, this is one the best, most becoming examples of purple hair colouring I've ever seen it. This vivid violet suits you incredibly well and looks nothing short of stunning!
