Orange hair tips

Around two months ago I decided that I needed a little hair change - as I always do - dyed my hair orange and chopped off my long bangs. It's been fun, but as usual I'm about to go back to my lovely pastels. There's just one more 80's work look involving crimped hair and Whitney Houston makeup that must happen next week before getting back to basics. So, I thought I would share my orange hair tips before saying goodbye.

Orange is fun. Constant redying, is not. I started out with Direction's Apricot which looked cool, but lasted approximately one hair wash. Do not recommend. Next I mixed Direction's Mandarin with a tiny blop of Bright Daffodil. Cool color, better longevity, pretty bad fading. Boo. However, the orange that has worked best for me has been Napalm Orange from Special Effects. The color starts out a dark, neon red-ish orange that almost hurts to look at (picture six) and fades into a nice, intense yellow based orange (picture five) that after five hair washes still doesn't need any touching up. Very pleased with Special Effects as always and will keep using their hair dyes for my next adventure. Talking about that, please say a little prayer to the hair gods for me so my hair will go blonde without any nasty stains when I bleach it next week..

I dont know if I'm scared of dying but I'm scared of living too fast too slow

I just returned to work after five days of vaction spent visiting my lovely grandparents, secondhand shopping, eating way too much food and enjoying more quiet surroundings - the fuzz of working in central Copenhagen is something I love, but sometimes smaller towns can be refreshing. I've also managed to go (rainbow) blonde for now after struggling to remove ye good ol' purple hairdye that left a very unpleasant green tint in my hair. But I have a brand new bottle of Special Effect's Cupcake Pink waiting for me, so it probably won't be long until I return to my natural hair color - baby pink. Are you guys enjoying the spring weather kicking in?

Chop chop, long hair off

When change come, my hair must change too. I'm that kind of person with everchanging hair and it's been this way for as long as I can remember. There's just something refreshing about it, whether it be a new haircut or color. Since I'm very pleased with my current color I decided to grab a hair knife and slice away. I really like how it turned out.. for now. In a few weeks it will probably bore me to death and something new must happen haha. 

Colorful spring hair

Colorful locks and rainbow hair is no longer very groundbreaking, but spring is the perfect time for experimenting with your looks and do something fresh and new. As soon as the weather gets warmer, my need for adding chunks of random colors in my hair gets bigger, and I'm currently playing around with the thought of adding pale purples and minty blue in when I get my pastel pink hair back (which will hopefully be sooner than later). I like how colorful hair is very versatile and can be used in so many ways, it doesn't necessarily have to be bubbly and princess-like, it can also very look more serious and minimalistic. If you're thinking about going crazy with colors I have a ton of videos on that on my youtube channel and also a little guide on pastel hair right here.

I'm your national anthem

Chain smoking, retail therapy, spring sun, siamese twins, vodka, constant music, no satisfaction, beautiful hair, trains, dead superstars, war history, netflix overload, new shoes, heartbreak, daydreaming and busyness. Current life.

Bright, red, long hair

New chapter, new hair, new beginning. 2014, I am ready for you. I was having doubts about how this would feel, but oh my, this looks exactly like how I feel right now. No colors, just red. There's something really strong about a color like this, which is just what I need. So excited about rocking this look for the next few months. What do you guys think?
Ps. This song is on repeat today, so much love for this.

Face of the day & new video

I'm starting to feel Valentines Day coming up, so having my pink hair back for a short while is kinda perfect for these next days. I kept my face sort of simple, but with a touch of drama on the eyes. 

Eyebrows: MAC Charcoal Brown & Espresso
Eyes: Maybelline Snow White eyeshadow, MAC Vanilla pigment, MAC Espresso eyeshadow, L'Oreal liner, Elizabeth Arden Mascara and Ardell lashes
Lips: MAC Saint Germain
Face: Gosh Porcelain foundation, MAC Silver Dusk, MAC Charcoal shadow for contour, Rimmel Stay Matte powder

Also just posted a new video about a Valentines Day live show, so watch down below for more details about it.

Baby turns blue

Today we officially filmed our first video together after going a bit crazy with my new curling wand. It's been more than three months without doing videos for both of us so I think we both felt a little rusty, but I finally got around to actually testing my new camera's video function for real. I have a feeling it'll work out kind of amazing in daylight. Tomorrow Ryan is coming back and then we'll head to Munich on friday with two of his friends - and I really, really need to step up my outfit posts!

A little christmas update

Merry christmas guys, I hope everyone had a joyful night with lot's of yummy food, the presents you wished for and a few good memories to end the year. I rebelled against danish christmas traditions by having myself a tropical night with exotic burgers, nachos and drinks on the side. By the end of the night I'd drunk my bodyweight in piña colada, cosmopolitan and mojito. It was lovely not getting ill after eating the christmas food (that I honestly don't even like) as the past four christmas dinners - next year will definitely be another tropical night. Cheers to new traditions. 

On another note, I have been fading my hair color since I'm leaving purple and lavender to go bright, neon red. Red is such a powerful, expressive and sensual color that has always been a personal favorite, so it will be fun to go a bit crazy with it for a month or two before dying it drastically different. At the moment the color has faded to a not so attractive seafoam green meets grey meets blue kinda shade, and I can't wait to be able to get rid of it. Also I was thinking about doing a tutorial for this hairstyle as one of my first videos when I start posting again in january?

Purple bun and doll eyes

On thursday I was turning my sleeping pattern around, so in these photos I hadn't slept for just around twenty hours (a total of thirtytwo hours when I finally slept!!) so as you guys can probably guess I was wearing my bodyweight in Illamasqua concealer, went as overboard as I could with my L'oreal Carbon Gloss liquid liner, a tiny amount of random grey eyeshadow to fill in my brows and crease, a bit of Illamasqua's Nymph blush bring back some color to my face, MAC Saint Germain lipstick, Silver Dusk as highlighter both on my cupid's bow and cheekbones and finally some very cheap eyelashes from eBay that looks something like this - they're horrible to apply because they're way too firm, but I like the way they look. Oh and I'm also wearing this eyeliner on my waterline to reduce redness.     

Styled my brother's girlfriend

(just adding to my online portfolio)

I styled her hair by straightening it and bend the ends inwards for a softer and more mature look, then teasing it all over with focus on the back and a little Elnett Hairspray.

My hair has had a rough week haha

Hahaha, I just took my hair out of the bun it's been in all day, since I woke up looking like a troll this morning and didn't actually have time to wash it. As you guys probably know I only wash my hair once or twice every week, but it's definitely long overdue, don't you agree? :D I'm home alone tonight, so I've just made yummy vege lasagna, sipped organic smoothies, watched Gossip Girl and listened to this song endlessly. Oh and I was out handing in a job application for a really cool job, so cross your fingers so I'll get it! No party for me tonight, I'm kinda sick of alcohol. I think I'm gonna watch Harry Potter now! Happy friday darlings <3

Ps. This was how my hair looked earlier, still looks funny:
