Sting Ray City- Located off the coast of the main island, String Ray City flourishes on a shallow sand bar in the middle of the ocean. These gentle giants love to caress and take treats (squid), from visitors. The larger, bolder rays are female and the smaller, shyer ones are male.

Star Fish Point- Close to Sting Ray City, Star Fish Point is a small speck of an island surrounded by green algae, which is what attracts the cushion star fish.

Diving- The diving is phenomal. While there are many reefs to be explored, the main highlights are the wall dives located by the Cayman abyss or drop off. The other hit is the Kittywake wreck. This ship was gutted and sunk on purpose five years ago. Divers can explore the bowels of the ship, find the captain’s steering wheel and take a selfie in the eerie mirror covered bathroom. 

hello!

I had a green tint after about three washes, and used a red toner to balance it out, I am told you can even use ketchup (a hair colourist told me this!) I think using more of the 0/81 and just a touch of the 0/11 is the best way to go, I wouldnt use half and half again, though it did fade in about two weeks to the perfect colour.

Yes I used 30ml of each and had white blonde hair as a base, but didnt need it as I used a strong (too strong really) developer. I could have used a 10 vol and been fine.

Just using the special mix is fine, they are only dye like any other, the only reason they are called special mix is because they are supposed to be used for toning other colours, for example making blondes cooler. 10/8 might be better if you wanted to use a blonde base since its alot more grey/ashy. Ash colours are green bases though, so you know to be careful!

Having looked at the 10/8 reminds me actually!

Here is the turorial that turned me onto koleston. I wanted a darker steel grey so used the 0/81, but depending on the shade the writer of that tut/showoff used

50 % 10/8  +25% 12/81  +25% 0/81 silver

Hope this helps!

I just read a good friend of mine’s self evaluation on her own writing and creation or graphic novels.

It’s nice to know its not just me who is over critical and has a habit of ripping my work to shreds, but as I was reading, it turns out that the logic of crying for you work, or any creation can be applied to anything, from your own art to your job or more importantly to me; my children.

I was told once that John Lennon said ‘life is what happens when you make plans’ and things like this ring in my ears after I try to write my stories or even get something as (what should he simple) as getting my point across, but I guess what I’m saying here is, when you have an idea about what you want to happen, and how you want it to be, that everything else in the universe seems to either get in the way, or transgress the end design. Sometimes this can be a blessing, a gift (wrapped in an un-decipherable enigma…) or a massive problem, so getting upset for your creations and thus, being passionate for them, simply shows your enthusiasm, your determination and dedication.

And this is, and will always be, one of my favourite qualities in anyone.
