blue-dark turquoise-green-mint  HAIR EVOLUTION

FLASHBACK TO SUMMER

(omfg sorry wow so far much long very bad)

So I decided for summer I would dye my hair again, like I did last year, cause I prefer my hair colored and it’s fun and looks pretty like why not. LIKE WHY WOULDN’T YOU IF YOU COULD, right? Last (last?) year, so that was 2012 (summer of year 7) I got my hair dyed at the BLEACH Oxford Circus London Salon, and it was kind of really expensive, but totally worth it, cause my bright purple and green streaks lasted for the rest of the summer and even up to September, when I went back to school -que angry form teacher and mousy brown hair again ughhhhhh. This year I decided to do it at home, but I didn’t have time to order some more expensive online dye (i.e manic panic or special effects) so I just took the bus over to my friends and we went down to the closest Sally’s and pharmacy and got the lightest blonde possible. First we bleached my hair (so that the dye would hold) but obviously because my hair was a semi-dark brown, the white-blonde turned out a vivid turnip yellow and since we couldn’t finish my hair and go back and get the color that afternoon, I stayed over at my friends house (partly because I was worried that if I went back home my parents wouldn’t let me out with such gross hair). In the morning we took the dog for a walk and went to get the other colors: ‘sky blue’ and ‘bubblegum pink’ and started dying pink over the blonde. Unfortunately we bought a too light pink, so it didn’t come out, but the turquoise did so yayyayaya I was a mermaid for the summer. If you follow me on instagram you would have seen many of my hair selfies but if you don’t then I’ve put afew below so you can see the progression from bright ‘sky blue’ (more like dark turquoise) to pale minty green…(CAUSE you’re totally interested am I right????) *nervous laughter*

During the dying process I also took some videos, which have taken me ages to (move onto my mums computer ((waiting for wetransfer to stop having maintenance)) to import to iMovie AND THEN) cut together, and then export again which was partly the cause of the delay of this post…and also the fact that im a shit but anywayyyyyy

Also this is super outdated because Bleach’s boots collob came out like years ago but i can’t wait to use their bleach awkward peach and dye my hair again but i’ll probably have to wait until next christmas or something because it’s so damaged right nowww

below are some of the colors (yum)

my love to you all <333333333333333333 if anyone is there lol
