my hair journey: red hair - 2nd touch up

touched up my lengths nd roots last time in march while i was correcting some patchy spots - see my older post



finally my hairdyes arrived whoop whooooop - lifted my roots nd lengths yesterday with l'oreal hicolor in red, i used both tubes. first i applied it to the lengths and let it sit there for about 30 mins - after that i applied it to my roots and went for another 15 mins - taddaaaa! i applied it to the lengths this time cuz it was quite uneven - only way to correct it, is going all over it again or to work with bleach.


before - 8 weeks without touching up
window light / after touching up with hicolor "red"
bathroom light / no hot roots but nice red roots :D  WIN


so today's plan - mixing manic panic with directions hair dye and work it all over to give it a more vibrant and significant red tone.


p r o d u c t s   u s e d

  • l'oreal hicolor in red 2x
  • cream developer 30% - 140 ml

  • manic panic vegan hair dye "rock n' roll red" 1x & "vampire red" 1/2 of the tube
  • directions vegan hair dye "poppy red" 1x

u s e f u l l   t h i n g s

  • vaseline - apply it to your entire hair/headline to avoid stain on your skin
  • gloves
  • container for the dye and application brush
  • medium hair clip
  • hair tie




2nd pic - dyes left to right:  rock n' roll red / poppy red / vampire red

leftovers - what a yummi red
i filled up the poppy red container with leftovers! don't throw it away - i keep it for now and then touch ups in between until i repeat the whole process in 2 months. don't forget to wear gloves when mixing it with your conditioner!!


l: final result after 2nd touch up
r: before, last touch up 8 weeks ago

well, honestly it turned out darker than i wanted it to - guess it's because of the "rock n roll red" by manic panic - should have picked a brighter red. it is brighter than before - but i wanted it like bright bright red. however, my roots are red, my lengths are more even and i'm good with it. but i'm already flirting with another color.. oh well that's how i am.
