So when i decided to go blonde in December i knew it would be hard and it has been pretty challenging. My hair is so weak and snaps so easily and as you can tell from the pictures its gone a lot shorter. BUT I am loving it I feel so different being Blonde. It doesn't change the way people treat you in my opinion. Well, not in a bad way. I always have a good experience being Blonde. It's just draining on the bank balance and the scalp.

(With extensions)

It was good being this blonde but everytime i had my roots done my hair seemed to get even more multicoloured and looked uneven and started to look yellow on the ends and white on the roots, not a good look! So i decided to get a box hair dye from Tesco and go a little darker blonde....and i hated it at first but now i like it and it seems more natural. Im going to let my roots grow and possibly do a sort of ombre.

Above: Before i dyed it. Looks horrid being so multi-tonal.

I used this dye on dry hair.

Looks nice right? Below: Is in a different light but same day.

Above: Today, without extensions in. Also day old hair so not as fluffy.

Also i'm loving my bareminerals tester!! My skin looks really clear!

Hola hello hi there!

It's got to that point again where I am totally bored with my hair. I seem to get this itch to totally change it every so often! ...To be fair, I have stayed brunette (which is my natural colour) for quite a while now, around a year and a half!
Previously I have been burgundy, bright burgundy, reddish brown, dark dark brown, and well i was okay with it, and I really suit it obviously, but I need a change.

I have been blonde before, in fact I have been blonde twice. The first time my hair took to it very well and everything was going fine until I over toned it, it went grey. And this wasn't in the year that grey was cool :(

The second time it took so many visits to the hairdresser and it took forever that by the time I was blonde, I'd had enough, I kept it for 6 month (at the most) then went back dark.

Both times though I went really really light blonde, platinum blonde! It totally washes me out because i'm pale, so sometimes I looked awful. I'm really hoping to learn from this.

So, on Monday I bought some Halo clip in extensions in dark blonde, off eBay. They arrived today and I'm very happy with the colour. It's blonde, but it's not too light.

Let's start from the beginning:

Here is a picture of what my hair looked like:

Pretty dark right? Sitting here now with ginger hair I wonder if I'm doing the right thing ahahah but yeh, I had some great headkandy/dirtylooks hair extensions to match so I can still use them when I go back brown but still, I'm so bored of it.

I used Colourb4 to strip some brown hair dye out (I had to cover a few pesky greys about 2 month ago)

And I have had 2 appointments with my hairdresser. The first time she did two bleach washes on me, then the second she did a bleach wash then some foils...

Here are some pictures:

This was after my last appointment with the hairdresser, it was very multi-tonal so I decided to use Smart hair lightener on it to lighten the underneath and highlight throughout so it kinda matched....

At the moment it's very bright ginger, it will only need one more bleach then toner and then should hopefully match these:

As it doesn't right now: hahaha but I do think these will suit me!

I will update you once I have achieved it :)

30/12/2013 - UPDATE!

As you can see with this one, I have my extensions in but they still don't match, I still wore them as I was going out at might and it just looked like my hair was multi-tonal.
