Exp-hair-iments

Good evening my kittens,

Apart from university work, pulling pints and feeling dizzy from the stirrings of young love, I have been having a whale of time experimenting with my hair.

A few weeks ago I had very, very long blonde hair. Unfortunately it was very, very damaged and as I had had it like that for a while, I was bored of it.



So I decided to make that brave jump of having it chopped off to sit above my shoulders. I also had it dyed dark, dark brown. Unfortunately, I hated it at first. Fortunately, I grew to like it soon enough. I loved the colour, it was just the shock of having all my hair cut off that got me.



The problem was that the hairdresser only used a semi-permanent brown hair dye on my hair and my hair colour always fades fast. So as it was slowly lightening I decided to dye it plum purple on a whim. Now I like it and all, but after a day of having it purple, I've realized I wish I could switch it on and off. Having it purple sometimes, brown others. It was fun though, and hey you're only young once.



Because I am attending the boyfriend's brother's wedding on April 8th, I have decided to try and get it back to brown for then. I only used a semi-permanent dye with the plum colour, and I'll be using baby shampoo, Head & Shoulders and any other colour-stripping techniques to strip away any colour in my hair up to then. And probably after.

So that's where I am right now. Join me next time for more hair-damaging whimsy and mundane blogs.

Love always,
-A
