How I Fade Red Hair (Naturally!!) Time and patience required!

 Day 1
-Treatment 1. Vitamin c, baking soda and harsh shampoo 30 minutes.
Result: Eh, there was a lot of dye that came out, but so far not a huge impact on the hair itself.



-Treatment 2. Intense Healing Mask (The last time I used this stuff on my pink hair, it stripped the majority of it out) 40 minutes.
Result: Only the ends have noticeably lightened...Ugh, this is gonna take a while!

-Treatment 3. Coconut oil and sun. 
Result: None. Went right into 4...

-Treatment 4. Vitamin C, dish soap and prell shampoo (found more vc tabs yay). Side note, DO NOT GET THIS CRAP IN YOUR EYE!!! OMG IT BURRRNS!!!!!! I can already see a difference just a few minutes in! Processed for 45 minutes.

Result: WOW, there it is! Very noticeable fade. I have found my concoction! MUAHAAHAA

Side by Side Before and after


Day 1
I'm going to repeat the last treatment a few times until I achieve the Full Fade.
I  have ZERO damage, zero dryness! 


Final Treatment Combo:
I did a honey, cinnamon mask with a splash of lemon juice and baking soda. I left that on for 1 hour.
When I rinsed, I used Vitamin C powder and shampoo as the second part to this treatment. I left that on for about 30 minutes.
Result: WOW! There it is!
I actually like it! It's cute!

I'm going to let my hair rest before repeating the last treatment and I'll keep you updated.

Let me know in the comments what you think!
Have you ever tried to fade from red?

Natural Sex Appeal: Blonde or Red Head?

I've had red hair for 1 year. It is the official anniversary of The Red!

During the process of moving, I've had to pack up my up-keep products. I love the red, but I don't think I can keep up with it for the next few months.

Should I go blonde?

The butt hurt sets in when I think about the fact that my only pair of extensions are now red...I haven't even worn them yet! But, during this process I don't want funked up hair...I don't want pinky orange BLAH all over the place and blonde is my natural color. Do I dare try to strip out the red and orange or just leave it the hell alone?

Here's Oldest to Newest pictures of me with blonde/blondish hair...





I don't know how I feel about it.
It's so weird and uncomfortable to think about having my hair a natural color again...MY natural color. 
Even though it is a temporary thing, I'm going through a change and I don't want to hate my red just because it was in so many chapters, ya know?

Ok...
I'm gonna do it...
OK, HERE IT GOES! Wish me luck!
