I used a mix of Special Effects Hi-Octane Orange, Manic Panic Sunshine, Punky Colour Flame, and Manic Panic Electric Lava mixed with equal parts conditioner to get this b-e-a-utiful color. The red from my last dye job had faded a bit, but the biggest reason for change was my roots. It’s like one day I woke up and magically had inch long roots. I applied the bleach to just my roots and then combed it through the rest of my hair after my roots were finished. While my roots lightened the rest of my hair decided to turn an even brighter shade of the red/orange than it was previously. I contemplated not even dyeing it but my roots were pure white which looked a little strange. Anyway, I’m smitten with how it turned out. It’s such a fun color.

Beautiful! I just dyed my hair a really bright fire-engine red & am loving it (although I'm never a fan of the upkeep) dig your bob-cut too 🙂
Aside from blue, and green, this is my top favorite hair color on you!
But, you DO look great in ANY color!
Gosh, you look great!
You look gorgeous with the orange! Love that you are so skillful to do all those layers that give a beautiful feel. I am inspired with your hair changes that I wish so much to try a purple or pink (even if it's only some streaks at first :P)
I'm loving this color! It looks great on you and it sorta remands me of Leeloo from "The Fifth Element" 🙂
Yes!
Lovely color! I wish I could dye my hair a bunch of colors but they tend to fade out by the 2nd wash and I´m too lazy to re-do it.
I usually stick with different shades of brunette and then just add some color highlights once in a while like red or pink…(one day I´d like to try blue!)
Btw, I absolutely adore your pup!! (and how he manages to appear in most of your photos hehe)
Oh la la! Orange looks absolutely beautiful and you seem to have amazing hair despite all the bleach and dye 😀 Gosh every color looks good on you <3

oh I love it so much <3 It's my fave color on you so far!! and your hair looks healthy and wonderful. I guess you keep this color for a while, at least suits you well 😀
What a stunning color… and it looks incredible on you, as usual! 🙂
(also, good to see the pup, looking sharp!)

looks great! i'm always baffled at how healthy your hair looks!!
That looks incredible!
Did you take your cheek piercings out?
Also, the last picture. So cute! I struggle getting a good picture with my dog so I really appreciate, when I see cute pictures of owners and their pets.
Haha! I took out my cheek piercings at least three years ago!
As I said before: you can wear all sorts of colors and they all look cool on you! This one is gorgeous and the shine is unbelievable!
Woah woah woah! GORGEOUS. These warm colors really suit you so well! And I may be a little biased this time, since orange is my favorite color, but this is my favorite of yours so far! Can't wait to see how it looks in some OOTD posts!

I been following your blog for a while and I LOVE IT!!! love the orange hair color too. I have one question. I dyed my hair yesterday red (I have natural dark brown hair, almost black) and the color didn't take. only on some spots and you can hardly tell i dyed it. I dont know what to do 🙁 my hair hasn't been colored for a while and mostly was virgin hair except maybe the tips. What do I do? Has anything like this happened to you? Do you think I can re-color? or should I wait? I have pretty thick hair if that matters for anything.
Thanks and I look forward to your advise 🙂
Did you bleach it before you dyed it?
I should also add, I don't give hair advice. It's impossible for me to give good advice when I don't know anything about your hair except for a few small facts. Everyone's hair behaves differently to different things. But anyway, yeah, if you didn't bleach it before hand that is definitely your problem.
Thanks! I did not bleach it. Im scared because my hair is naturally dark, VERY dark. Anyhow I decided to wait until I try again. Again thanks for the reply. I really have been following your blog for quiet some time. I love your style, your pets and pretty much everything about you, It cheers me up 🙂
Total Hayley Williams hair! So cute!
LOVE your colour! I'm super impressed with how even it is! You look gorgeous.
It looks so fun and even!

Yay it looks amazing on you! 😀
I agree; it really is a b-e-a-utiful colour! It looks great :0) xo

I love that color! It looks great!
You hair looks just incredible! One of the most amazing hair colours I've ever seen!
I love this new color! Especially with that black and white top! So pretty!
whoop! love the orange. I'm always impressed by how you manage to get such a consistent colour.
Bright hair is such an instant mood lifter.
Love it!!!
Bah where'd you get your shirt?

so nice! seriously beautiful 🙂
Ahhh, I miss dying my hair exclusively with Special Effects. My favorite brand – especially for reds and oranges! It was just getting so pricy. I've never tried Punky colors – do you like them? The color mixture looks great, of course!
Yeah, Special Effects prices are outrageous. I could justify buying all the colors I use at those prices. I LOVE Punky colors. They're easily my favorite brand.
woooow!

This is the first time I see thig blog but I can already say:
You
are
ADORABLE!
I'll put this blog on my list ˆˆ
PS.: Loved this combination of colors… But in Brazil this brands are soo expensive that I couldn't afford to buy all of them. Well… I'm going to the USA on december so lets buy some stuff! xD
I don't think you could look bad in ANY color! It's scientifically IMPOSSIBLE!
