Winter comes around and Red comes out to play

I have fallen into a strange ritual. I don't quite know when it happened. At least, I certainly can't pinpoint when it began but before I knew it I was faced with the realisation that for a good few years now I've been habitually changing my hair colour to move with the seasons. 

In Spring, Summer and even Autumn I'm perfectly content to have my hair somewhere as near to my natural shade as I can get. And every Spring I tell myself I'm never dying it again. It's not worth the hassle and other excuses are used as affirmation.


And then the inevitable happens....

The darker nights roll in and I find myself hankering for my other side. My husband likes to call ''her'' Red. Every end of Autumn / start of Winter I take the notion to go red again. The thought occurred a few weeks ago and I mulled it over only a moment before swiftly coming to the realisation I couldn't be bothered with the colour management it takes but.....

Sometimes Red just happens


And I'm ready for Winter! 


Do you have seasonal hair colours? I hadn't even realised that I did!

  3. That colour looks incredible on you.

    I've just dyed my hair back to my natural dark brown for the first time in five years of varying shades of dark red..! Although it's pretty hard to tell the difference when the light doesn't catch it.

  13. The reds lovely! It came out really well. I'm currently sporting a faded-red look I'm calling pretty-much-ginger, trying to get myself to a proper hairdresser to get it sorted out so I dont have to keep redying for a while! It's such a hard colour to keep.
