My hair style evolution

The first time I dyed my hair, I have a couple blond highlights. I was in Third Grade. My mom actually got a high-lighting kit from Target. I didn't dye my hair for a long time after that. It eventually grew out and got snipped off. I dyed my hair again with blond highlights when I was in 7th Grade (in picture). I went to a salon and got it done.

The third time I dyed my hair, it was the summer of seventh grade. I bought a kit of Deep Burgundy from somewhere, and dyed my hair myself. The first time it came out not really that bright. After about two weeks, I dyed it again the same color. I had this color for about a month or so.



This is when I went crazy. I dyed my hair red with a Splat kit. I originally planned to dye half of my head pink and the other half purple. When we got to CVS, I realized how crazy I was, so I just bought red insetead. I did this myself, so I bleached my hair (poorly. It was only bright at the top) and dyed it red. Splat has amazing colors, but they only last a week. It faded after a week, and turned orange. (EW!) I then dyed it a more natural red.

The more natural red I used didn't really work with my skin tone, so after a couple weeks I dyed it back to brown. It didn't really last that long, because the red was so crazy. It turned into a weird copper-ey color after it faded.

Weeks later, I was inspired by Christina Perri's one blond streak, so I dyed a big chunk of the front of my hair. I should have only done a little it, and I screwed up and dyed my sideburn too. This was one of the worst things I could do!

A month after that major FAIL, I dyed my hair brown, and dyed that blond streak blue. Again, I used Splat. However, this blue lasted a long time! I had this look for a long time.

When the red started creeping back after a month or two, I used a hair color remover. I got rid of the blue and the copper-ey color, and bleached the other side of the front and the tips of my bangs. I dyed my hair brown, and put purple on the newly bleached parts. It was cool for awhile, then faded into an ugly orange-y pink. (blech)

A month after that, right before I took a class trip to Germany, I dyed my hair burgundy with some cheap crap. It only lasted a day. So I was stuck with this ugly faded mess! :(







After a horrible two weeks, I dyed my hair a lovely reddish brown. I kept this color for about three months. I really liked this color.

Right now my hair is black with a streak of red. Every time it fades, I dye it purple or red. I just ran out of purple, so next I plan to dye my hair a subtle shade of red. Or bleach a couple streaks and dye them red. I honestly don't know! But when I do, I'll post pics! Here are some more pics of how I wear my hair:

Well, folks, that's a little presentation on my silly hair. Maybe I'll inspire you, maybe you'll learn from my mistakes.

Happy trails!
