My Hair Story

I'm sure if your a female reading this you will sure know what I mean! 

I remember the first time i coloured my hair I think I was about 13 my mum bought one of them highlighting caps (the one that makes you look like your about to go swimming haha) and a blonde hair dye to do 'blonde highlights'. I can't remember it making a big difference. 

The picture below was my natural hair colour before I had used any hair dye I was in my first year of high school in this picture I think.
 

A while later I decided I wanted brown hair it did come out brown but for my 13 year old self was not enough of a difference. 

From the age of 14 until I was 16/17 I decided I wanted black hair! I loved it. I went through that 'emo' faze and i put thick eyeliner on, make my face a very light matte finish and I'd wear a lot of black. My hair was very long and silky and looked healthy.  Below are some pictures of my hair when it was black.
 

 

Next I decided I wanted to go lighter again and remember this process well *DISCLAIMER* this destroyed my hair for the first time. I used the Jerome Russell bleach from superdrug. 

I think I must have bleached it about 4 or 5 times in 2 days ( yes very bad for my hair I was still 'learning') it went a very bright orange colour and I eventually gave up and ended up buying a really nice Mahogony colour which was fairly dark.

This didn't last long as I was determined to get light hair I tried the same method once again and ended up with really bright yellow toned blonde hair it did not Suit me and I hated it!

So there I go again off to superdrug and I decided is go bright red this time! The colour come out lovely (used Live Colour XXL) but faded fairly quickly. I then at that point had given up trying to do crazy things as my hair probably would have started to fall out I then just put a dark brown hairdye on and it was a nice brown/Red colour for about a year then, Somewhere in between I went a very dark brown with blonde under the front section I loved this and did have that for a while. Below is a few pictures of my hair when I had blonde under the front section. 

 

At the end of November 2013 I decided I wanted to go blonde again my hair had faded to a light brown and thought it would take well this time. 

Below is my hair before bleaching  in November. 
 

 

It didn't take that well and I was walking  with a orange toned blonde head for about 3 weeks it did tone down with a purple shampoo below is the result before I went to the hairdressers.
 

Around my birthday (December 2013)  I decided to go to the hairdresser.  Below is the end result after I went to the hairdressers (not a massive difference but in different lights you could see the difference. 

 

 

 

My hairdresser did wonders on my hair and it looked really nice. It probably stayed just over a month then I decided enough is enough with wanting to be light I had been fairly dark haired from when I first started dying my hair and felt almost not myself. 

Below is the most recent picture of me.
 

 

So yes I have had a lot of experience of dying my hair bad and good. What's your opinion on coloured hair is it worth it is it not? In my opinion I think you should try out a few not too many or you will end up with shorter damaged hair like me now :( haha but no if your thinking about dying your hair maybe try a semi permeant to start with and if you like it get a permeant one.

Thanks for reading.
