Rainbows

my hair has changed since the beginning of summer. I already talked about how I got to the point of cutting it really short. like short short short.

From this...

To this ...

Then my hairdresser (& close friend) and I went a little wild to this.

We used Stargazer hair dye..

Before this day she had half of her head in a darkish brown and the other half was blonde. And while she coloured my hair I was supposed to do hers. I'm such a loser.. But it turned out purple. She liked it. all good. Just so you know. I LOVE her! She's just like me but a tiny bit skinnier :D and no glasses. and a bit shorter. oh well, you know what I mean. we just get each other and that is all I could ask for in a hair dresser, or was it a friend :) I get both! :D

Well after a while (let's say I washed my hair twice after getting it coloured in this picture) it washed out. faded. slowly disappearing. quite fast would be more precise. yup.

it kinda looked like a box of bananas and apples. in some parts I was blonde and some where still quite turquoise... and there is one strand of hair that stayed turquoise till the end :)

after about 3 weeks I was back at this..
blondie. all I wanted to be. But oh well. it's semi-permanent for god sake. right?! can't I expect a little more?! it doesn't damage the hair. the bleach does. but not the colour itself,

right back to my hair lady I went.

This time Directions could show its talent. 

  lilac. I adore Kelly Osbourne's hair. I truly do. Really. I want my hair to be long again and then I would colour it lilac. all of it.

Before

bleaching

freshly blonded ( is that a word?!)

the lighting isn't that good. I know. but this was taken right after.

I like it. I do. But will it hold?! time will tell..

I didn't have to wait that long. It faded. It kinda looks blueish in the one on the left. That was after 1 hair wash. I didn't really pick up the blue by just looking at it. I really LOVED it like that. the perfect lilac. on the right, well, that is my current hair colour. It looks more grey than anything else.. I'll be back having a ladies day next week with my hairdresser so it might change again.

There are still a few colours I wanna try before I go back to being boring. I really wanna try a baby pink and a blue. and maybe a dark green. We'll see...

The journey of my hair

Just recently I got a haircut. Not just a trim but a haircut. A major makeover I would even like to call it.

But let's just go a bit further into my past..

As a little kid I cannot remember ever having had longer hair. It was maybe shoulder length but never longer (My mum is a short hair mum, never knew her any different than with short hair).. So I guess she just always got my hair cut. For my part I always wanted long hair but I never had tha patience of growing it. I might get to  a little longer than my shoulders but never really long. So as soon as marshmellow and I started to think about getting married (beginning of 2010), I started growing my hair. Even though we weren't engaged by that time I still wanted to grow my hair just so it would be long for the wedding.

pretty old photos from aroud the same time. I can tell cause I'm wearing the same pair of glasses in both photos.

So that is what I did.. growing my hair. until it was pretty long (at least for my standards). I loved my long hair. I loved the fact that I could just put it up ina bun when I was lazy, or I could straighten it and wear it down so everyone could see my long hair and what I loved most about it was that I could do different updos. I loved to braid my hair in different ways and try new styles.

Sometimes before the wedding. again I can tell because of the glasses I'm wearing. :) Probably the longest my hair ever was.

 

Well my hairdresser (I love her to pieces) and I decided to change it up a bit. So we (well she did the cutting) cut it in an asymmetrical way... It looked lovely when she did it, which is ususally the case when you get a new haircut and it's all nice after it has been styled the right way. But for my part I just didn't know how to work it. I ended up putting it in a bun most of the time and I was hot with all the hair and I got really fed up. so I called her (well texted) and asked for another appointment.

This is what came out:

The journey of my harcut. The one on the top right is the asymmetrical cut...

I just went in there, said to her:"Cut it off." And off it is.

I LOVE IT: I feel free and confident. Hubbs, well he is ..., male. He says it's not too bad but he just doesn't like short hair...on women of course, I mean. But I do like it. You will probably hear more about my hair in the future. I change the colour a lot :D
