Saying goodbye to my boring hair!

If it’s a not broke, don’t fix it.

This old adage plays in my head whenever I think about doing something fun with my hair. I have beautiful hair. It’s something that I always get complimented on. It seems crazy to destroy good hair with bleach and color, but that’s what I’m doing. For the last few years, I’ve been itching to do something different and now’s the time!

With the help of my wonderful friend, Ashley, I’m adding some purple, my favorite color, to my hair!

Yesterday, Ashley came to my apartment and spent nearly five hours bleaching my hair. I wanted a lavender ombre (gets lighter at the tips),  so it required a few steps. First Ashley bleached the bottom half of my hair.

First Ashley seperated the sections of my hair.

She gave me this wonderful hairstyle.

We left it in for an hour. Next, Ashley applyied heat.

I was shoaked it actually worked.

I washed it out and dried my hair. But we’re not done…

Time for round two.

Already feeling pretty bad *ss

Ashley seperated the layers and bleached the very ends again.

I love the way the two colors look braided together.

Stay tuned to see what it looks like once we add the purple!
