❤ Crazy Hair Colors! [Insert Rainbow Here!] ✄

Hello my darlings~ (。◕◕。)
   To start off my first actual blog post , I'm going to cover the basis on unusual hair colors most of you have might seen within your daily lives. 
   A wild hair color appears, using surprise attack! Now you might be one of those people who have gone through the normal day to day tasks and errands, and you see that one person with the kind of hair that you don't typically see everyone grabbing at to have. Maybe you're even one of those people who want to have a certain style that might seem crazy to society, but you don't know WHERE or HOW to start. Well, that's my I'm here my darlings (◡‿◡).
   Now to me, a person with an unusual color of hair sparks an interest to me. I feel as though it brings out a certain part of a person's personality, and even completes the look a certain person has; as well as complimenting their face and/or complexion. Even for myself, I'm eventually going to dye my hair a beautiful light teal/blue  and re-do my hairstyle with layers. ALL that good stuff.
   To start off, there are a wide variety of colors you can choose from, and today I'm going to cover a few. Let's begin with our hair colors, yum! What I like to base an unusual color on are mostly the Blues, Pinks,  Greens, Whites, and Purples of the color scale. Red, Yellow, and Black coloring is more general, and usual in the color spectrum than the other colors I previously mentioned. Some can be bolder than others, but more or less they are common colors more often seen. 
   When you're choosing a color, there are different tones and mixtures you can pair with to make your style look dazzling. Lightness and darkness can both have their effects on a persons hair color as well as boldness! 
   

     Choosing a lighter tone for those unusual colors, give a more pastel/softer look to your being, and complexion. It might even give the effect that you are a soft spoken, down to earth, calmer person, who doesn't really shout. A real great way to show off your complexion and soften it!



     Now, with a bolder, darker look, it might give a mysterious, outgoing, HERE I AM kind of effect to a person's look. Another great way to bring out your completion, which can also soften it or bring out your skin tone, given the bolder hair coloring.

                                        




Here are examples of the two tones for each color:

(Pastel/Light Colors)=
             
                             Light/ Pastel Blu                               Light/Pastel Purple
                                           
                                                              Light/Pastel Green
               
                                     White                                          Light/Pastel Pink
                       

Beautiful aren't they? I think so! (˘˘)

 (Bold/Neon/Dark Colors)=


                            Dark/Bold Pink                                   Dark/Bold Blue
                         Dark/Bold Green                                   Dark/Bold Purple

C'et trés bon! Very beautiful indeedy~ ヽ(◕ ◡ ◕)ノ

Now with these cute, beautiful, and amazing colors, you can do so much with them! You can dip dye, ombre it up, layer it down, pattern it, mix and match colors, and so much more! Whoopie!

As shown here: (>˘˘)>


Beautiful JUST beautiful! ¯\(°∀°)

   Alright now along with beautiful, well done hair coloring, there are those terribly done and don'ts to hair dying. Now either they don't know how to dye their hair, or they did it in a way they thought looked good. Don't, just, don't please, because you're going to embarrass yourself, and/or later find out that, *deep inhale* it just doesn't work ●﹏●!

Here are some examples for you: o(╥﹏╥)o


              

 Haha, just kidding! Lol but no really, there are people out there that have several different kinds of colors in there hair that blend together in an awkward way, or just really messed up. They don't even know it, which is the sad part, and it kinda screws up the look. If you want to dye your hair one solid color, either practice on a select bit of hair, or get it professionally done. Seriously, it's WORTH the money spent. If you want to get several colors done, I suggest highly to get it done professionally rather than trying yourself. You'll THANK me, and your hair stylist. 

 -Taking care of your dyed hair-

   Now for those of you who haven't used dye before, or have, it is KEY to make sure your hair stays healthy; especially for those who constantly dye or flat iron their hair. Now for shampoo and conditioning I would suggest getting: Pantene, Avon, or Redken shampoo/conditioners, because they protect the color from fading, and it renews the color as if you just dyed it; when really it's been several days since you have. Also conditioning your hair, and leaving a tad in will help before you go swimming in chlorine; which could cause it to fade, damage it, or make it an icky color, YUCK! Read the back of your favorite shampoo/conditioner to see whether it has color protection within it! For flat ironing I suggest get a heat and/or color protection spray, or gel that you use before flattening that luscious hair!
   If you plan on bleaching your hair, and then wanting to later dye it another color, I recommend doing it right after an hour, or so of finished bleaching. It causes less damage since the hair is already taking in the color, and it would be better than dying it a couple days later. But after that though, give you hair a break and don't dye it for a while so your hair can repair itself. This also depends on how healthy your hair is, best results if hardly dyed, easier to kill your hair if done so frequently.

                         
   
   Anyways, that is my blog for today, and I really hope you all enjoyed it. I had fun writing this, and I hope I helped out those who needed advice, to those who weren't too sure about dying their hair. Hair dying is beautiful as well as natural color, though send me a photo or message of your hair dying experience. Stay amazing my loves and have a great day/evening! Kandy, OUT! ヽ()ノ

Intro to Kandy Fashion ♡


                                                                                
Hey dudes and dudettes,
        The names Kandy~ I have always liked fashion, and I'm not your typical frou frou, even though some of the fashion I'm into has some cute/girly aspects to it. I'm more one of those tomboy stero-types. I love darker colored clothing compared to its inverse, pink. Pink is not on my friends list, it has been disconnected from my liking of that color group, although hot pink is an exception, but shoosh you didn't hear that from me ;). So my blog is going to incorporate the various types of fashions I'm into and what goes with what. I will do reviews on the latest fashion trends for the categories of Scene, Goth, Gamer Chick/Dude, and "Hipster" if you like to call it that. I'll also give some insight to people I look up to on fashion for the most part. As I mentioned about being a tomboy, and giving fashion tips for Gamers of all sorts, I will also being creating a blog about Video Games, and what's hot! Yay! I know right, so much that's going on~! Be nice though, since I am new to this blogging shit, and enjoy what I have to offer :). As alway Kandy loves you~
