Why I Envy my Children

Friday, September 5


They have the hair color of my dreams! I've tried and tried to get my hair to an ASH brown color. But, no matter what I do it looks like this. Reddish Brown. It's my Pacific Islander genes. So I pose the question to you....Does anyone know how to get rid of that red?

Hello there. Which Pacific Island do your genes come from?

Grosgrain said...

Hawaii.

Cool. My brother-in-law is Hawaiian. My Pacific Islander genes, however, come from Saipan.

Oh, I'm not a stalker, by the way. I just love the clothes you make on Grosgrain, so I read both your blogs now. :)

I'm in hair school right now, so I don't know it all, but you have to use the color wheel. If you want to cancel out red, you have to use a color that contains green. Are you using box dye or are you going to a salon?

give the red to me? I have the faintest hints of red, and I've always wanted more. I guess I could perpetually stand with bright sunlight streaming into my hair, when it looks reddish auburn, but what on earth would I ever do at night or in the perpetual sf fog? lol. I'm sorry, I don't have any actual advice for getting rid of red in hair, as I my only experiments in hair day were (fortunately enough in concentrated areas such as streaks and the tips) either temporary or failures.

Man those fire-engine red tips looked great in 8th grade. for 2 weeks before I had dried out, stringy, bleach-blond tips. To this day, I have no clue where the permanant red dye went. lol.

good luck on your quest for ash colored hair.
