Garnier Fiery Red 6.60: 6 months after Dying

Back in May I posted about dying my dark hair red using Garnier's Fiery Red 6.60 Hair Dye.

I had so much interest from all of you about using the hair dye (the colour it gave me on my dark hair and the like) that I thought it would be useful to write a quick follow up post about how the dye has washed out and how it's left my hair looking after 6 months. 

2 months after hair dye

As you can see, 2 months after dying my hair I had mega roots :( My hair was still pretty bright red but it had already begun to fade into an auburn colour.  I used conditioner masks to keep my hair moisture filled as the peroxide in the dye hair stripped my hair of its natural oils.

 4 months after hair dye

4 months after dying the colour continued to changed. So much so, that after every wash my hair lightened or changed slightly. People often complimented me on my new colour changing asking if I had redyed my hair. This was nice as, despite now longer being bright red, my hair was changing to pretty colours all the same. To combat the roots issue I was having before I used a product called Sun In spray. It's my saving grace! It's a sun/heat hair lightening spray which you can pick up from Boots or Superdrug. I sprayed it onto my hair before drying. It works by lightening the hair and made the roots less noticable.

 

6 months after hair dye

This photo was taken in October, 6 months after dying my dark brown hair red. As you can see the top of my hair is very dark - my natural colour. The ends have become very light and a mixture of different tones. I like the effect as ombre hair is in fashion at the moment so I'm happy! My hair is still not the same as it once was in terms of brittleness and condition - this is inevitable I guess. However, I use conditioner every time I wash my hair, use a serum on my roots and a heat protector spray when blow drying: this helps to keep up the condition :)

Garnier Fiery Red 6.60 Hair Dye: Before and After

Hiya Sweetpeas,

I've been getting a lot of people interested in finding out a bit more about the Garnier Fiery Red 6.60 Hair Dye I use. I posted back in May about dying my naturally dark brown hair bright pillar box red again but in particular you want to know the before and after results.

Original Garnier Fiery Red 6.60 Hair Dye Post 

Above is the before and after results. It's a pretty good before and after as before dying my hair red I had NEVER dyed my hair before... insane I know as now I'm addicted hehe.

So the colour brown you see there is my natural colour. I occasionally used a product called 'Sun In' which you can buy in Superdrug which, when sprayed on a heated with a hair dryer, lightens your hair a little in the places sprayed. I did this to get a bit more depth and highlights into my hair but not very often.

The red colour you see is from my first aplication of Garnier Fiery Red 6.60 Hair Dye. As you can see the colour is brilliant and bright and has slightly lightened by hair because of the peroxide in it.

The red is very bright in the sun but more toned down inside or under natural light which is also good for work. However, like any red colour it does wash out and fade quickly, this bright red won't stay for too long and I wouldn't recommend re-dying very soon due to hair damage.

What I did find was that as the dye faded my hair changed to different colour reds and people would re-compliment me asking if I have redyed my hair. So the fading out process isn't all too bad.

I have thick, fine hair down to the middle of my back and it currently takes only one hair dye kit to dye the whole of my hair. Though if you do have longer hair I would recommend buying two kits as I have to be very precise and stringent with application.

Too any girlies thinking of going red... do it! it's brilliant fun and yep, brunettes can do it too... I'm the living proof hehehe xxxx

Red hair and Pretty Plaits

So, What do you think of the red hair?? The photos don't really show how red it is, in sun light it shines much redder for some reason.. I love it! Last year Plaits were such a big thing and I remember spending hours carefully constructing the perfect plait in my hair just before nights out. With my new and ever so glossy (yay) red hair I thought I'd hark back to the beloved plait with a simple style. This look only took 10 minutes to do. I parted my hair in a side parting and loosely plaited both sides of my long fringe, pinning them back and straightening the rest of my hair for a slick smooth look. 

It was a style that was easy enough to do quickly as I was heading out for dinner and was pretty and girly.... Perfect! And that's why we girls love plaits.

Dying Dark Brown Hair Bright Red

Since the Summer trend last year I've had my hair red. Last year I had it vibrantly red but since then have toned it down to a deeper darker red. It was so fun having a bright red in the Summer though as my hair pretty much glowed in the sun <3 My favourite hair dye is Garnier and the colour I use for my hair is 6.60 Fiery Red. My hair is naturally very dark brown so the colour the red dye gives me is quite a deep red but does still show up nicely.

Dying my Dark Hair Red with Garnier Fiery Red 6.60

My hair is long, it's half way down my back now (eek yay!) and is thick but fine. Even with long thick hair, one Garnier pack does the whole of my hair which is great. I find applying the dye really easy. You put the creme colour into the bottle and shake it all together. you can start to see the red colour coming through. You then put on your gloves and put the creme all over your hair, starting with your scalp first. The smell isn't too awful but I would recommend opening a window just incase. After 35 minutes your done and can wash your hair as normal and apply the intense conditioner. I adore being a Red Head!

In my next blog post I'll be talking about my new colour and a hairstyle I've got back into loving again. Pop back soon to catch up! Lots of love xxx
