I volunteered to use my hair as a test subject for a hairdressers competition. As the result I lost most of the lenght of my hair (some parts got even machine-cut to just a few mm lenght) and then got it coloured pastel pink with orange, yellow and green. I was so sorry to dye it over because of my job.

you look just as amazing as a red head as you did as a blonde! gorgeous girl.

Taylor said...

You have my (a natural redhead) seal of approval! Looks pretty. I like the color a lot. I really look forward to seeing how this hair color changes your outfits. It's going to be fun, get ready :)

Lindy Allen said...

Wow--you look awesome as a red head! I once let my room mate give me blonde highlights out of one of those box kits with a cap. That was a HUGE mistake!

Karen said...

You look great as a redhead! Welcome to the club :)

Kimberly Cutler said...

the red looks SOOOOO good on you! i'm seriously in love with it and so jealous i don't have the gumption to do it myself! looks great girl!

Kori said...

I like the color on you! You can pull it off so well!

Kirsten Wiemer said...

love it, seriously love it on you, and that length is perfect! umm lets just say i've tried just about everything in the book besides a pixie cut. i've had red hair, black hair, brown hair, straight across bangs, no bangs, platinum, dirty blonde and all sorts of weird hair colors. haha. always, i need a weather update on the AZ PHX area, we head there wednesday, is it still bloody hot?

Liv said...

Red works for you! I've had a couple of red dye jobs, and one of them was truly horrible. It was like The Little Mermaid red... and that color doesn't look good on anyone except a cartoon.

Rachael said...

It looks awesome! I love it!!

Jennifer Ray said...

Brunette about 4 yrs ago. Honestly, it just wasn't me! I freaked and slowly went back to blonde.

Nikaela said...

Wow. It is truly beautiful on you!

Suzi said...

OH my freaking heck. You look like you were born to be a red head. No joke. It looks AMAZING!!

Liz Cooper Taylor said...

Wow, you look great as a red head! Good for you for being so brave :)

katherine hill said...

Andrea Wight Hunt said...

the craziest? my first year in college i felt like i could control NOTHING in my life...so the day that i took my last finals i went to my stylist and we dyed it a brown/red. the brown quickly washed out and the red stayed (weird!) and....i had been growing my hair out for 5 years and 2 weeks after we were married i cut a drastic A-line (taking 7 inches off)

Meredith Walker said...

that is SO CUTE. I've done pink streaks, green (worst), blue, and an accidental whole-head of purple in middle school. Last March, I colored my whole head dark auburn with a blonde peekaboo on the left side. It's by far been my favorite!

Robyn said...

dyed it blue.

Amanda said...

This looks phenomenal on you! Definitely pulled it off! In high school I was "little mermaid red" but now it's more of a normal red. ;) My mom, all of her sisters and parents and even grandparents are redheads... I am bitter that it's not natural. ;) You look beautiful!

Oh red is DEFINITELY your color! I have wanted to do it so badly but hear that it fades fast.

I went from shoulder-length to full-on PIXIE a few years ago. I absolutely loved it and still miss it. Why am I growing my hair out again?!

Taylor jane said...

ashley is looks amazing! i love it <3

meredith said...

my hair has been every color out there but red looked the worst on me. you look HOT though, jealous! :)

Erin_PlusSizedPretty said...

Perfect Parks and Rec reference! The craziest thing I ever did was cut it all off....NEVER doing that again.

Irene Navajas said...

you look so good!!! you're brave, i've never done anything of the sort, just chop it very short once or twice!!! but no new color

Kara said...

It's sooooo good. I colored mine jet black once in college and THAT was a mistake :/

Elle said...

Looks great! Red is amazing on you- I've dyed my hair jet black.. I had a "goth/punk" stage in high school. haha. good times :)

xo, elle from Living
in Color.

Marissa Marie said...

So pretty!

Jacy said...

Awesome!! I recently did the same thing =) It faded so so fast though =( Love red now!!

Caitlin M said...

Looks even better on the big screen! I've done nutty things to my hair. Had a half shaved head in high school, its been pink, blue, bleach blonde, all kinds.

Patience P p-cute.blogspot.com said...

i like it, you picked just the right shade ;).

Katrina said...

You are soooo good looking. This color is flawless on you!



You can delete this comment after, but it's *dye.

Alicia Segerson said...

THIS LOOKS SO BLEEPING FANTASTIC!!!!!! I am never afraid to try new looks with my hair. And if I feel like I need a new look, a cut or color is sooo much easier than losing weight :)

Haleigh Barrett said...

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH IT! you look GORGEOUS in the last photo! amazing! keep it forever!!!

Marielly Ruiz said...

It's such a drastic change but it looks great!! The biggest change I made to my hair was when it was halfway down my back and I cut it super short and spiked in the back. Then I proceeded to dye it from purple to blue to pink haha. I miss it so much, but unfortunately since my hair's so dark it's too much effort to keep the color.

This suits you so perfectly! I LOVE it! I am partial to think that blondes look good with red hair, as I did this to my hair back in January!

Here is my post on it: http://jeffrepeat-ashbash.blogspot.com/2012/01/unda-tha-sea.html

Mindy said...
