She's Still Big Red..

My girlfriend Monicah definitely enjoys a bit of attention, who doesn't ey? 

She's outgoing and likes to show it from a mile away. If you don't realize she's outgoing by the diamante she wears on her cheek as a beauty spot, then you'll definitely realize she's outgoing by the fact that her hair is fire engine red. 

When she came to me (her hairdresser) today to dye her regrowth, we took her outrageous hair a step further and shaved a section. 

We started it off at 25mm, then went down to 19mm, decided to take it a stage further to 12mm and finally ended up with a 9mm section. 

After finishing her hair and doing her makeup, she realized the 12mm length would have been more to her liking but doesn't mind waiting a few weeks for it to grow out a little. 

I took some photos and filmed the whole thing. 

I'll come back and link the video when it's edited and just post the photos for now. 

Yeah, I think I'm a pretty good hairdresser haha.

She's "Still Big Red.."

After watching Bring It On for the four hundredth time, I can't get the line "I'm still big red" out of my head.. Which spilled over into my time at Tafe because one of my close friends has BRIGHT red hair.

She had a shocking regrowth (sorry hun, it had to be said) so I offered to bleach and redye her red. It's been years since I've been employed as a professional hair colour technician so it was fun to do someones hair other than mine, my mums, my grandmothers, my great grandmothers or my brothers (when he's feeling brave).

I would have liked to have gone over the back panels once more, just for my own state of mind but my friend seemed pretty happy when it was finished.

Here are some before, during and after photos. I thought I'd throw in some photos of me with red hair, just to reminisce.
