My little hair journey.

For as long as I remember I have always had long blonde hair. Varying longer lengths. Varying tones of blonde. But always pretty same same. I'd always wanted to change it, but was too afraid. Last year I decided to do something crazy, and became half a brunette. Bayalage is a wonderful thing! When summer rolled back around I knew I wanted to go lighter again, but after a month of 'boring' hair I knew I needed another change. And change I did.


I chopped all of my hair off into a long bob.
Then I dyed it purple.
Then blue.
Then silver.
Then lilac.
Pink
And back to purple.
Most were pastels so nothing too crazy or obvious.
But here's a quick look at a few colours I could find photos of.

Finally I decided "NO MORE!" and with the help of Head&Shoulders, some Bi carb soda and a Hot oil treatment I managed to get back to blonde within days.
I assessed my hair and was actually shocked at the condition. I know I wasn't using bleaching agents when I was colouring my hair, but I don't really recall the last time my hair was in such great condition.
Through my phase of Rainbow hair I learnt a lot.
I learnt that I shouldn't wash my hair every single day, it doesn't need it! I laid off the bubbles a lot with coloured hair. Using Fudge paintbox and Crazy Colours meant that the more I washed my hair the more it faded.
I also cut back on heat, also known to fade temporary colours. My hair isn't horrible when I let it air dry. And using an oil really cut down on frizz so I was able to embrace my natural hair texture.

After 6 months of change it's time to grow my hair out. I miss the ease of being able to throw my hair up in a ponytail! But I know I won't be too hesitant to change my hair again in the future. It's only change, and hair grows.
Bit of a different post, hope you don't mind.
