#24 Rainbow

Wed 02 May 2007

I thought we should do something exciting for the relaunch of haircrazy.info so why not match Adam to the new site colours?

 

The last dye job was well washed out by now leaving Adam's hair a pastel blue colour. He also had a bit of a dodgy hair cut between the last adventure and this one (not my doing!) so he was sporting a lovely fringed bob look. So I began by cutting a few inches off his hair. His roots weren't too bad so we decided not to bleach them.


The standard overgrown and washed out look

 

We started with the orange. For this I used Directions Tangerine. It's a nice reddish orange so I knew it wouldn't go an unpleasant rusty colour. I took a circular section and coloured it orange. I also brushed a small amount of orange onto the hair below so the next colour would blend in.
To the next section I applied some Directions Rose Red that I had lying around from the last adventure and brushed it through to the next section where it mixed with Atlantic Blue in the next layer below that I applied Turquoise (all LaRiche Directions).


Applying the orange

 

 

The colours stayed well defined after the colour was washed out. The first photo below shows off each of the layers of colour in his hair. After messing Adam's hair up with some fibre putty the difference between the colours is less clearly defined.


You can see each colour in Adam's hair here.
