Hi Everyone! This past weekend I (finally) got my hair done. (If you couldn't see my three-inch long roots then you should get your eyes checked).
I was long overdue, but since I had a bit of a mishap in the fall of 2015 I was trying to let my hair recover before dying it again. It's actually a funny story...
My natural hair color is a mousey-bronde-ish-blah. I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. See below.
Please make me feel better by sharing your hair disaster stories!
I was long overdue, but since I had a bit of a mishap in the fall of 2015 I was trying to let my hair recover before dying it again. It's actually a funny story...
My natural hair color is a mousey-bronde-ish-blah. I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. See below.
Throughout my teenage years I had box-dyed my hair. Finally, at the age of 22 I had grown out all of the dye. So, of course, a couple years later I'm bored with my natural color and decided to box dye it a red/auburn. See below (please disregard my crazy eyes).
I actually think this was my favorite color, but it was hard to maintain (the red would fade very quickly). Okay, so I know what you're thinking, how is this funny? Well, so far it isn't so hold your horses.
After the red, I dyed my hair dark brown. Kind of similar to what it is now. But then I got sick of dying it because I'm lazy. I was never very careful with the instructions so my hair got darker and darker and my roots stayed lighter. Off I went to some cheap-o hair place and asked them to take out the box color and get me back to my mousey blah-ish color. And this is where it gets good - they turned me into Miley Cyrus's twin.
Miley is way better at pulling off this hair color than I am...clearly. After spending about four days hiding out in my room crying I realized that I needed to go back to work so I left the safety of my home and made my way out into the cold, cruel world to get my hair fixed (thank you Beyond Beauty of Cape Cod - I would most likely still be in hiding if it weren't for your amazing staff!). Within the span of a week my hair had been bleached (to death) and then re-dyed. I was never much of a product girl - my hair is so thin and fine most of the time I just ended up looking like a crack-head without a shower when I tried them, but since my locks were in desperate need of some help I did some research.
Here are some hair care products I now live by: Biolage Colorlast Shampoo, Ogx Argan Oil of Morocco Intensive Treatment (obsessed), L'oreal Sleek it Iron Heatspray.
From this experience I have learned two very important lessons:
1. Thou shall never straighten thy hair without sprayth thy heat protecth spray.
2. Thou shall never dyeth thy own hair with thee box of colorth if thy suckth at it.
