I love experimenting with color and as a hairstylist/makeup artist, color is number one on my list. Growing up I always wanted to experiment with my hair and my makeup so I would sit at my vanity and go to town. It wasn’t until recently I was introduced to an awesome book that I wish I had when I was a teen. It is called DIY Dye and I am amazed at the methods in the book.
DIY Dye is a step-by-step instruction manual for getting bright, funky temporary colors at home…the right way. As a stylist i have seen many at home color jobs gone wrong (I strongly suggest that if you have any questions or if you feel the job is not coming out right please contact your local salon.) With everything from the use of Henna to spray on colors this book has it all. Even DIY color recipes. SOOO COOL!!!!
I am a huge I Love Lucy lover and we all know what Lucy Ricardo is known for right? That’s right her red hair. Back in the 1950s henna was the go to hair color if you were wanting to create beautiful red tones to your hair. But henna has improved since then. Now you can get henna in nice rich browns to.
DIY Dye is a fun way to experiment with crazy temporary colors with application techniques. Writer Loren Lankford shares why she wrote DIY Dye with It’s A Glam Thing:
It’s a Glam Thing asked Loren, “What inspired you to write this fun and creative How-to Book?”
She explained “Growing up as an alternative kid in a small, conservative town, I was always looking for crafting projects and ways I could my look at home, cheaply. I loved fun hair colors but knew that none of the local salons would be able to do what I wanted. So, I started experimenting with at-home methods! Back then, I didn’t have Google at my disposal, so I made do by asking lots of questions at the beauty supply store and a lot of trial and error. I may have fried my hair a little growing up, but I learned a lot and it was lots of fun.”
