Transformation Tuesday! Started the first session of wedding hair!

Allison, on April 2, 2019 at 14:08 Posted in Beauty 0 32

Hey Ladies,

Just wanted to share pictures of before and after the first session of hair colouring for the wedding. I'm still a little more coppery/brassy than I want to be, but my stylist and I are planning for 2-3 more dye sessions before the wedding to get a nice brown-blonde balayage!

Before: vibrant red hair (natural dark brown)

Transformation Tuesday! Started the first session of wedding hair! 1

After: session 1 of hair colouring

Transformation Tuesday! Started the first session of wedding hair! 2

It's such a change for me, who's been the red colour for many years now but I'm loving it so far! Can't wait to see how the final session of hair dyeing looks!

    Thanks Paige! If it didn't turn out as well as it did, I'd probably dye back to my natural and call it a day. Chocolate brown is a timeless choice too and I bet you are excited to reach your hair goals! I'm thinking of doing plum after the wedding - it'll be really vibrant after the blonde!

    So pretty! You’re so brave to do such a drastic change for the wedding. I couldn’t do it. I just had my first session of just stripping the hair color from my hair (I had box dye black 😬). Next session is April 23 to dye it the chocolate brown I want and a final touch up June 6! So excited to have pretty hair again lol. I’ve been growing out the hair dye for about a year and a half so it’s looked awful pretty much the whole time. I too wanted a natural looking color, I felt black was a touch harsh and was too scared to do anything light. I debated a plum of some sort but I think a rich chocolate brown will stand the test of time. Can’t wait to see your final results!

    I agree with Gina, you look so different with lighter hair, especially since your eyes are so much more vibrant!

    Something like this:

    I'm pretty close already, but I'm more coppery/caramel-y with the red I had previously. My stylist told me that since we are going from dyed red to blonde, it'll take a bit to get the final result.

    Such a good opportunity! I did the same thing but I went from virgin hair to blonde balayage! What’s the final look you want for your hair colour to be?

    By mermaid red, I'm guessing something close to the little mermaid? Smiley winking I felt the same way, I wanted to look more natural in the wedding photos for a timeless look.

    Thanks Bianca! Honestly, the red didn't really go with my wedding colours IMO so I looked into switching it up. I've wanted to go the blonde route for a while too, and saw this as my opportunity!

    I love the light on you. I also changed mine for the wedding.. I am usually rocking a little mermaid red which I love.. but I thought I wanted a more natural look as I will be looking at these pictures forever. My hair colour changes often so it will always be different but still. I went back to my natural dark brown and I might do some low lights just to lighten it up a bit closer to the date.

    WOW! That's such a big and beautiful change! What inspired you to go blonde for the wedding if you've been red for so many years? I recently (8 weeks ago) went from natural brown to a blonde balayage and I was so nervous! I'm happy with the results but it was a big change!

    Thanks Gina! I also had really good lighting with the photo of my blonde hair (the red hair was taken in my bathroom - not the best) so my eyes really popped! Plus, I'm wearing makeup lol. I started out dyeing my hair with just blonde highlights, then the blonde went red, then I started dyeing an overall red colour!

    I love your hair more blond! It really makes your eyes pop! My hair is brown, so I get it highlighted blond. It allows me to look blond but not have to upkeep as much. Balayage is my fav, but I have a lot of grey, so highlighting helps hide it as my hair grows. Lol. I’m getting our 3 older daughters balayage for the wedding.

    My hairstylist and I had a game plan since I got engaged for the wedding hair colour lol! Otherwise, I'd be more hesitant lol. I've also been dyeing my hair for nearly 10 years now so I know the commitment to it.

    Side note: if you've haven't dyed your hair before, it's way easier to go blonde with virgin hair. Going from dyed red to blonde is the tricky part!

    A bit of both? lol

    I'm naturally a dark brunette so this is a step more towards my natural colour. I wanted to be lighter at the wedding/closer to my natural than the red so it's a step in the right direction!

    I think you'd look great as a blonde (and your natural colour too!) IMO Smiley laugh

    Looks great so far! Is this to look more like your natural hair or just something you really wanted to try?

    I'm trying to get my hair to be long and natural for the big day but the very first chance I get I'm going blonde!! If I don't get good reviews as a blonde I will try a couple other colours though Smiley tongue
