To cut or not to cut

When I was 15 and going through my scene kid phase I decided it would be a good idea to cut almost all of my hair off and ever since I've been completely traumatised. Even having my split ends trimmed would make me panic.

6 years later and my hair was down to my bum, lifeless and too thick for me to manage most of the time. I love long, thick mermaid hair, but mine was getting scruffy and a curly blow dry was starting to take over an hour!

Lately I've been obsessed with the short bob, especially on Kim K, Kylie Jenner and Giuliana Rancic. After scrolling through Pinterest looking through hairstyles I was finally feeling confident enough to go for it!
I showed my hairdresser some pictures of Kim K when she was a blondie, but instead of commiting to the long bob I asked for slightly longer (baby steps!).

Here is what my hair was like before...

... and 10 inches later

 I know it's not super short, but 10 inches of hair makes a huge difference!

I'm so pleased with it, literally a weight has been lifted from my shoulders, no more headaches when I wear my hair up.

I just love it, I feel a lot more polished now and I can't wait to try different styles and experiment.

I think next time I'm going to go for the collar bone length cut, now I'm confident that I won't have any regrets afterwards!

Lavender Hair

Lately I've been trying to be more spontaneous and it occurred to me that I've had the same blonde hair for three years, not very spontaneous of me!

After searching for hours on Pinterest I finally decided I was going to take the leap and dye my hair a pinky/purple. I bought two pots of Directions Lavender dye and left it on for about an hour and a half. When I washed off the colour I could see that the freshly bleached top of my hair took the colour a lot better and so it was a bright purple, whereas the ends of my hair were left more of a lilac, pastel pink mixture. This resulted in an accidental ombre which I really love!

I'm now completely inspired to keep experimenting with my hair colour and I love how I can match my eyebrows to it and be more adventurous with my makeup. I mainly wear head to toe black and so this colour is allowing me to stand out a little more than I normally do!

I think next I'm going to try electric blue or pastel turquoise.
