I just wish there was someone there to stop me before I mixed the baking soda in I ended up having to get all my hair chopped off, stripped, and then dyed a more natural color. It was awful.


I think the color and your skin tone look great dropdeadkate It's probably the change that shocks you

oh jesus thanks for the warning

i'll just try some dandruff shampoo and see if that helps. if not, oh well. i hate when i fry my hair and it gets all gross and damaged.

5/10/2011 10:12:21 PM

If you just want your color to diminish, I would also recommended just waiting. It'll go down after a few washes.

I have recommended this before, but for a red, brown, or black hair dye I recommend Surya Henna cream. I'm a long time hair dye addict and I used every box in the entire drug store. I also paid $Texas at a salon, which was pretty good. but surya is the only product that leaves my hair feeling as soft as it was before. It's great! I got it from Whole Foods, any of the organic grocery stores will carry it in the cosmetic section.

So, two things


I had no idea conditioner that puts color back into your hair existed. <3 Murre Root (or whatever) by Aveda.


The DJ yesterday totally thought my hair was naturally red. TAKE THAT, HATERS

5/11/2011 10:02:30 PM

got these at dsw last night! i think they are so cute, i can't wait to wear them







p.s. i am blonde now thanks to WillemJoel's wife. it is pretty great.

samwise, your hair looks great!!

i was a bottle-red head for 5 years and loved it. everyone thought mine was natural too (including a doctor who warned me about a perscription that might make me sensitive to light because of my "haircolor" & complexion, lol)

then i moved too many times and couldnt get the color right anymore so i quit and went back to my natural color

have fun and enjoy it. forget the haters

maintenance is a pain in the ass though. if you can i would recommend using shampoo & conditioner that doesn't have any sulfates in it. thats what i have to use now with my keratin treatment and its so much better for your hair. i have to think it would keep your color from washing out as quickly

5/12/2011 1:45:18 AM

yay hair!

got my hair highlighted and trimmed yesterday, very pleased

5/12/2011 9:16:57 AM

Dang I just got the email about the sale at Saks...

I've been wanting this dress for a year...and now I find out our gala is Black & White this August...

5/12/2011 11:18:40 AM

dropdeadkate: for what its worth i LOVE your pale skin and dark hair.

5/12/2011 1:09:18 PM

5/12/2011 1:31:10 PM

DIVA!!

why cant you go work at Saks again

I wanna try some creme de la mer with that fab discount!!

5/13/2011 5:10:21 AM

Haha brainy. I still have friends that work at Saks

I love La Mer. The moisturizer is the bomb.com. I wore it a lot when I worked there but now I'm all out of my samples. I may have to get more. My coworker kept asking if I was getting laid because I was glowing

5/13/2011 7:18:07 AM

your friends should hook us up with samples!!!

capital idea

hickies..... anyone found a way to get rid of them?

i've tried the toothpaste and push and turn methods. they don't really do shit.

graduation is tomorrow. and i'm going to look soooooo classy. fml tequila is horrible

5/13/2011 12:32:13 PM

WHORE ALERT

[Edited on May 13, 2011 at 12:33 PM. Reason : I'm black if that's what you're asking]

5/13/2011 12:33:20 PM

don't judge me i told that stupid drunk guy not to bite me wtf

also thanks everyone who had nice things to say about the hair. the longer I have it the more I like it even though it's not originally what I was going for.

5/13/2011 12:36:34 PM

I found this in my google search....should be interesting

Good luck!

Congrats on graduating!!

5/13/2011 12:41:16 PM

haha I will try this and report back. I've never heard of this before

5/13/2011 12:46:06 PM

I bruise super easy. Arnicare gel works for me, although I have not had to use it for hickeys.

5/13/2011 12:47:03 PM

is that something I can just pick up at a pharmacy?

5/13/2011 12:50:36 PM

Yup, it's in with the muscle rubs or first aid or something.

I was sceptical at first, but I tried it after I rammed the bike footpeg into my leg (or maybe it was my knee after hitting the cabinent, both happen a lot) and it worked. Put it on a couple times a day like the package says for best results, but it doesn't smell so having it on isn't a big deal.

5/13/2011 4:07:26 PM

Obviously the hair is working out well for you, DDK. Congrats on graduating!

that is just so awesome, Casey!! I tried putting some gray streaks in my hair but it just ended up being a blond color. I did what the hair people told me to do too.

5/13/2011 4:26:20 PM

your toner probably sucked then

5/13/2011 4:26:57 PM

My 45 year old bald brother told me I needed some grecian formula...


I told him to pick me up some the next time he got his rogaine

5/13/2011 4:35:04 PM

ha! If you color your hair that is your thing but I love it!
I will try to take a pic of my streaks.

5/13/2011 4:53:37 PM

do these get the cute seal of approval?

5/13/2011 4:55:13 PM

they get a half seal of approval.

5/13/2011 5:25:57 PM

^^^oh i don't dye it...i earned every gray hair on my head and i wear them proudly...

^^i'll go with...yes

5/13/2011 6:06:50 PM

Had my boudoir pics today it was fun, and we got to take the pics at the Sutherland

5/15/2011 9:43:06 PM

ok need opinions b/c its a pricey purchase.

This: Damier print
or the original?:


I already have one purse in the original.

[Edited on May 16, 2011 at 11:47 AM. Reason : t]

5/16/2011 11:47:32 AM

I'm a fan of the Damier

but the original will match more if you're into that whole matchy matchy thing

I just wear my bag when I wanna

[Edited on May 16, 2011 at 11:50 AM. Reason : the tote is too open for me...people can just stick their hand down your bag and take shit]

5/16/2011 11:49:41 AM

5/16/2011 11:55:07 AM

has anyone tried this? st. tropez bronzing mousse? i have heard/seen great things and all of the online reviews are pretty stellar. it is like $40 though...but i mean...if it works as well as it appears to i'm thinking of taking the plunge.

wanted to see if anyone here has tried it. i have one friend who has, and she looked great. and then i've read online reviews.

5/16/2011 12:45:49 PM

That is how I got my wonderful glow

5/16/2011 12:51:59 PM
