I have recently colored my hair bright red again...then i happened to see this interesting article here (http://sg.news.yahoo.com/what-does-your-hair-color-say-about-you-.html)
Frenz have commented that my new hair color looks more pink than red...but it looks red in pics ;p an auntie at my yoga centre even commented "your hair really looks like your pink top" lol...anyway, it's still the same bright red that i've sported earlier this year =)
I have only bleached my hair blonde when i was 18...to fulfill my blonde ambition...blonde is not an easy color to carry off...all the dark roots require constant retouch...n blonde can make fair complexion look pale n ghostly which would mean generous dozes of makeup is usually applicable...n blonde is too attention grabbing for perhaps all the wrong reasons...my mum used to say she could spot leechie from miles away cos of my blonde hair...anyway, i looked horrible with blonde hair...how i wish i still had a photo of blondie leechie to show ya...imagine this...i was 18, skinny, pale n blonde! ppl might have mistaken me for sporting the "heroin chic" look back then? o.O sorry, i dont do drugs n i have nvr smoke a single cigarette in my entire life...smoking is a lifestyle choice n i choose not to smoke!
Then i moved onto various shades of brown...light brown...dark brown...whatever brown...or what lady Gaga would term as "Louis Vuitton brown" lol...anyway, my natural hair color has a very strong yellowish tone n whatever color will turn yellowish v.fast...yes, mine aint the typical asian hair type...my hair is naturally, fine, curly n yellowish brown in color!
Anyway, ever since i modelled for Wella hair coloring workshop and they gave me such a vibrant wine red hair color...i knew this is MY color! so i have always tend to stick to wine or red color...but sometimes the wine red turns out brown on my yellowish brown hair =.= this red magenta color that i'm currently sporting is v.attention grabbing n requires a loud personality to carry it off...i'm may not be the loudest person around...but i like the rosy hue it gives to my cheeks ;p n i have received much more compliments for being a redhead than being a blondie or brunette ;p lady Gaga has her "Louis Vuitton brown"...well, i have my own "Tono Leechie red" B-)

"What Does Your Hair Color Say About You?
Marie Claire – Wed, Sep 12, 2012
A blonde fashionista goes blonder.A star colorist analyzes why we go lighter, darker - and a little crazy - in the salon chair. By Kyle White as told to Ning Chao
There's a reason why one of the first things fugitives do when they're on the run is dye their hair: Hair color is an identity-when you change it, you can become a different person. Fugitives tend to go dark because they want to hide and disappear, while most celebrities tend to go lighter and lighter because they crave the constant spotlight.
In fact, a lot of clients come to see me when they're going through life changes. Sometimes it actually helps bring out what she's feeling inside-or how she wants to feel. What else can you do in two hours that completely transforms you (but that can be undone, unlike plastic surgery)? I see so many women drastically changing their color at the end of a relationship that I've coined it the "breakover"-instead of a makeover. I think it's an intricate part of the healing process. The right hair color can give confidence, enhance your mood, and make you feel sexy again. I don't have scientific proof, but I know people feel better when they get up from my chair.
When Tinsley Mortimer was going through her divorce, we decided to take her platinum. Tinsley likes to be noticed and wanted a pick-me-up. She's told me that getting her hair colored "is like sunlight-the brighter it is, the happier I feel!" Her natural color is actually a medium brown, but she said she's always felt like a blonde. A lot of people feel they're trapped in the wrong hair color.
When another colorist botched up my client's hue, she had to go to her therapist and double up on her meds. When I fixed it, my client told me she felt like I had removed a cancer from her body! Another high point of my career was when Charlize Theron came into the salon right after she'd finished filming Monster. Her hair was an ugly, mousy brown, but as soon as I did her first highlight, I saw her transform. When she left, she gave me a hug and said, "You made me feel like a woman again."
In my chair, blonde is by far the most requested shade-and that's mainly from my clients' husbands. Very rarely will a boyfriend or husband say, "Will you make her a brunette?" Most of them ask, "Can you make her really, really blonde?" An exception is Mariah Carey. Nick Cannon likes her to be on the darker side. And whenever she has downtime, she prefers it, too. But that wasn't always the case. When I first met Mariah, she was a deep brunette, but once she trusted me, she wanted to go lighter-just in time for the launch of her first Def Jam album in 2002. Four years later, right before her Emancipation of Mimi tour, I added some bright blonde pieces around her face so she would have more pop onstage. Without a doubt, the changes in her hair color have followed her career.
That's why I'm so hesitant to make someone darker if they've been blonde for a while. I have to give them a psychological evaluation to make sure they're in it for the right reasons. If they're doing it because they don't want to deal with cost or maintenance, it's criminal-like going to rehab for drugs instead of jail. Sooner or later, they'll be back on the bleach.
Don't get me wrong-dark can be beautiful, sexy, and mysterious. But when you've been fair-haired for a long time, it's hard to see yourself without the brightness around your face. You just feel washed out. If a client is serious about the change, I'll usually do it in stages so it's not so overwhelming.
I learned that lesson early on in my career, when a client came in right after she had a baby. She was convinced she wanted to go back to brunette. So I dyed her hair, and as I was drying it, she took one look in the mirror, grabbed the brush out of my hand, tossed it at the mirror, and said: "How can I leave looking like this? You have to change it back to the way it was!" She was traumatized. I spent all day taking her back to blonde. She apologized in the end, but it goes to prove that hair color is not something you should just jump into on a whim. My advice: Try on a wig with the new color first. If you like the look and are ready to commit, call me! "
