Filed under: All about me
I am no longer a virgin! Well, more specifically, my hair is no longer it’s virginal blonde. For the first time in my life I have put color on my hair…and by “color” I mean bleach. Yep, I’ve gone blonde! Um, blonder!
Before: My hair was getting scraggly, and shapeless, and darker than I really wanted it to be. I feel it should be noted that here I am, at age 27 and-a-half, and had never colored my hair. No highlights, no jello dye, nothing. It was darker than it has ever been, and I now have strict rules about staying out of the sun, which leads to darker hair. There’s no summer break to lighten it up a bit. I miss my white-blonde hair! I know–it probably still looks crazy-blonde to you, but to me it was getting all ashy and yellow. I don’t want ashy-yellow, scraggly, shapeless hair. I wanted something different. Something shiny!

During: Yep, that’s shiny all right!
After:

Yep, I love it. That’s all. I realize that you may not be able to even tell that there are bleached bits–they are there. They look pretty natural, which I wanted. I feel like I am going back to my roots–my roots just happen to be platinum.
