Blonde On Blonde

Finally I've made it! I have indeed put blonde onto blonde. Well, not me, Stuart at Laundry did it - and a bloody good job he did too getting rid of all that yellow! Just don't ask me how much I paid, let's just say it better look expensive!
Pearl blonde has been the bane of my life for a while now as you all know. It's been a long journey but I've done it, and I love it.
I'm a bit surprised at myself to be honest. This is a far cry from my staple copper locks. It's been floating in the back of my mind to try blonde for a while. I'm sure you know what it's like when you get a craving to try a different colour. You just have to.








I need to do a serious conditioning treatment tonight though, it's pretty dry. Also, how freaking painful is it to sit under those heat things with peroxide on your head!? Ya better believe I've suffered for this!

I'm following in my mum's (and aunty's) footsteps with this colour, she's been dying her hair blonde almost all her life. So I've put together some photo's of her from being 17 to 30 odd to honour her as being the inspiration for my new 'do!

Ahh, now to wait for the inevitable fade to brassiness and dark roots.

Curly Bob


Well I've done it, it's gone. About time too. It's been on my mind for a while but I've finally had it chopped off!
It's all come about from making a big change in my life, I felt like I wanted to make a physical change too. Not quite a full re invention but a change nonetheless. 
I actually plan to go for a full blown pixie cut (gasp!) one day. ONE DAY! Haha probably not anytime soon as I'm only just getting started rocking the curly bob (and I don't have the balls) which I almost hate myself for saying because for goodness sake Charlotte it's only hair. This I suppose is my slow, gradual crawl towards it. I do think early 20's is probably the best age to get away with drastic do's, but for now I'm happy with this. Also, I think it's the first time I've ever not had the immediate hate/regret of a new hairstyle, which says a lot since it's not been above my shoulders for about a decade! 
It was done by the lovely Kirsty Palmer at Laundry. I highly recommend it. Really great service.  






Speaking of losing hair, look who's growing some new stuff...
