Hair Today Gone Tomorrow

To begin, no I am not shaving my hair off. (yet there are days I do feel like it), but I do want to change my hair drastically. I'm sick of having dark hair, I always do this, and I never do anything about it, but I have decided that while I am home I am going to take the plunge and begin to lighten my hair. My old hair salon I used to go to, used to charge £100 or more for a full head of highlights but I've done some research, and a really cute hair salon has opened up who do a full head for £61, so I've decided to just go for it, as I think at that price it's worth a go, and the hair salon has other branches which have won various awards.



This probably best shows the colour of my hair at the minute, (excuse the drunken posing, rubbing of fake tan, it was towards the end of the night this photo for my house mates birthday haha). I've looked at a few celebs whose hair I really like and I'll add a few images of the the sort of shade I want to achieve by summer time hopefully.



Mary-Kate Olsen

Jennifer Lopez

Lily Donaldson



I'll document my 'hair journey' over the coming weeks as I go home for a few weeks next week. 
Anyone else out there changing their hair in the coming season?

Hairspiration!

As I'm at university I have no pennies to get my hair done. I rebelled a little bit in my first couple of works, i had just dyed my hair all over brown a couple of weeks before leaving for University to cover up highlights I'd had in the summer, and I felt it was fading a lot in my freshers week, so I decided to dye my hair brown/red colour, then I used a red illuminator, which then made my hair that little bit more red, then I soon realised how fast red fades and it needed a lot of up keep. I then dyed it brown and parts went black! I was mortified, so I trotted off to superdrug (luckily, or bad luck maybe as I spend all my money there, I live above a Superdrug). I bought a hair stripper, and a light brown dye, and also a medium brown dye as a back up, I already have a dark brown in a box beside me as we speak which was another back up for the red. Anyway, after absolutely killing my hair with stripping it and dying it twice all in one night, my hair was brittle and horrid! I have made a friend here who is a hairdresser and he lives locally so he picked me up and gave me a good telling off about my hair and trimmed away all the nastiness, my hair now is in decent condition, still dry but I naturally have quite dry hair. It has also grown a bit, and now the dye has faded, but I have promised myself to not dye it until the 17th of december, as I am getting my hair cut that day and the 18th of December I have my dad's business christmas dinner to go to, and i don't want to go with hot looking patchy/faded hair. I've decided on a medium/chocolate brown, but I don't want to get too close to black again. I am really tempted by the John Frieda foam hair dyes. Has anyone tried these?

I want a slight change in my hair, and I was looking at a few images for hair inspiration, and I'm tempted for a full fringe, and as I also own extensions I thought it would look lovely in the festive season. Here are just a few examples of what I was looking at

Hair and Make Up Lust Afters

As it's Summer, I tend to want to lighten my hair, and in the past I have stupidly tried to do it myself and of course, I have always failed. So over the past few months I have slowly worked towards lightening my hair just by getting a t-bar done, and I am getting close, but I am going to have to fork out for a full head so that the underneath of my hair isn't so dark. I had close to black hair around November, so really I should be pleased with how light it is now.
Just a few images following of how I would like my hair to look, it may never look like this but a girl can dream right?



I am also craving after a few make up items, I have recently been reading up about Lily Lolo mineral make up, and  I have made a wishlist of all the samples I want to try out. Also, I STILL want the Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick, and one of the In the Groove Duo Blushers! I need a job that is going to handle my lust afters! (hehe)




What are your lust afters at the minute?
