Hair

Anyone who knows me well will know my love for bleaching the shit out of my hair and putting bright colours over the gingery, dry, awful mess I’ve created; which, I will add always turns out really well (apart from when part of my hair was green & I tried to redo my roots which went blue… bad times).

I first dyed my hair when I was around 14, this was the usual ‘blonde streak’ phase most girls I know went through, after my blonde streaks I went into my emo phase (which I’ve still never really left ha!) I had dark brown hair & a bright blonde fringe, at the time I loved my blonde fringe, thought I looked very cool & emo… Now I look back at laugh at what a state it was. At one point my hairdresser actually told me she wouldn’t bleach my hair again as it would fall out, so I decided to take my hair into my own hands & bleach the rest of my hair to match.

That didn’t really work out for me as I ran out of hair dye & was left with brown, ginger and blonde hair, I didn’t have the money to correct it either so my hair stayed that way for at least two weeks. Cringe.

I finally got my hair all blonde & was so happy with it, I bought long blonde extensions and was in love with my hair, although it was in the worst condition possible. As my hair was pretty much dying (literally) I decided to stop brushing and straightening my hair & started curling my hair extensions instead, again I was extremely happy with my curly blonde hair. I do look back at those pictures and regret the curly hair, just makes me wish I’d have bought some good conditioner & tried my best to keep it healthy!

Eventually I decided it was time to go back to brown, the dark brown faded after a week or so and I was left with a very light ginger colour which I absolutely loved. I think after the ginger I then went back to dark brown. After being bored of my ginger brown, I tried the blonde hair once more then straight to dark brown to give my hair a good rest.

Around six months later I was bored again & dyed my hair dark purple, this was one of my favourite hair colours, I think I’ll definitely go back to this colour one day because it was so nice and I really suited my purple lipstick with this hair haha.

I then dyed the side of my hair light enough to put different colours over it, started with lilac, then to bright pink and then blue. I then bleached my whole head and put pinky/lilac dye over which I loved and I really want that hair back too…

Here I am now with my black hair. I love having this hair colour as it is so close to my natural colour so suits me, but I also like having black hair because it looks so shiny and healthy (most of the time).

So why on earth am I sat here debating buying a box of bleach and some directions hair dye!? I feel like it is time for another hair change… maybe if it is just my fringe this time. Definitely bored of fully black hair at the moment though.

Hope my reminiscing of my past hair colours didn’t bore you reading this, was more fun for me thinking back to all the silly hair colours and styles I’ve had in the past!
