I posted this in my own journal but thought it would be perfect to post here as well as it shows off my curly hair in various colors and cuts! I'm a natural blonde but until recently have been brunette with red and bits of black. So I had decided to go back to my blonde roots (literally speaking.)
Like I've also explained before, I had donated my hair just last year and am currently growing it out. My goal for my hair is to hit around my butt. Before I donated it, it hit at my waist so this goal is very possible for me and may only take a few years as I have fast growing hair. It's already past my shoulders from being just shorter than chin length and at an angle cut.
I had my hair appointment last night and we got pretty far actually. I had my hair stripped, that didn't take long at all. My hair apparently wants to be back to its natural color badly. Then she put on the blonde/brown color all over after having foiled in the highlights. She then put on a quick "cover up" for all the red that's still clinging to my hair until we can get back to it next week. You always have to give your hair a nice break so you don't push it to the point where it wants to fall out. My hair feels really awesome actually, having thick, coarse hair comes in handy in this situation. So the bottom of my hair is a bit darker since it had all that red, chocolate brown, and black in it. That'll be fixed on Tuesday though and Ashley (my stylist) said it would be no charge for that second round.
So I thought I would show a few pictures!
Before donating my hair and before getting any sort of dye in it.
Still before donating it but after having red put in my hair for one of the first times.
Brunette/Blonde/Red
Red and Black, after donating my hair.
Growing out and just Red/Brunette again
Still growing out. Brunette with Blonde Streaks.
Still growing out. Brunette and back to red. (My hair looks super fluffy in this picture, ick)
Still growing, past my shoulders now. Back to blonde but not done with the process yet. As you can see it still has a lot of red in it and actually looks strawberry blonde. Final results will of course be posted when it's done! (Sorry, I just took these and I'm not wearing makeup =/)
