Finally after some planning a bit of waiting a bit more waiting i have dyed my hair , Pink.

stained rather than dyed  (hoping that stepping away from developing hair colours i wont experience so much breakage)
La Riché Directions , Tulip over "natural/existing" base colour and roots  and diluted to a pale pink over bleached fringe peak

currently making  medium length DE wrappy synthetic dreads.
base blend of burgundy and cherry red transitionals into old rose and rose blend tip with striped accents
will be braided in as soon as they are finished – will see how that goes with my hair just about hip length now

photos as soon as someone can be bothered to take them

Also 4 weeks ago i got my lip pierced- vertical labret.
cant wait to have the shorted bar put in

and there are photos!
yay
