hair woes continued...

I know, I know. Always the hair. But I was reading about this little book on Kavita's blog, i heart vintage x, and I was just thinking 'What a cute, useful little book'. I just like all the handy hints for growing hair, which I want to do.

 

 

I adore this quote. Just love it.

 

 

hair woes

I have been wondering what to do with my hair for quite a while now as I have been red for about 5 months, plus I want to mix it up for summer! I was set on extensions but for a full head of permanent ones (clip-ins are a drag so I sold mine) it is about NZ $1000 for the hair, plus the cost of getting them put in, plus the die and cut. Anyone know where I can get a good deal?

As mentioned here, I was considering getting a colourful colour put in my hair like a bluey, aqua thing, but I think that would work best with long hair. So I have decided, I am going to go my natural colour, which I have intended to do for ages. It is just so much easier in summer - no dying needed, and I want to be a shade of blonde for summer (though I am dark blonde/ash brown now, I used to be white-blond when I was a kid) and it is just so easy maintenance being el-natural! So I am booked in to the hairdresser for a die and trim. But I was thinking, being one colour is a little boring. I hate streaks (no offence) so I was thinking of going my natural colour (see picture below) and then having it blondened at the ends. Like, have it fading into a really light blonde. Because I have wanted the faded look for ages like the Alice Dellal pic below, but once again, I think that looks best with extensions!

Wow, respect if you read this entire rant & rave. haha

Inspiration time:

And in other hair related news, I have gone for the middle part! I suit a bang/front fringe, but sticking with the easy-for-summer theme, I am growing my fringe out which I have had as a side fringe for the past 5 months. And now I am wearing it as a middle part. It looks a bit off-centre in the photos I do realise. My hair looks quite brown here. It is very faded and I have extreme regrowth! Apologies. Ha ha. And the 'World's Greatest Lover' mug is a gift from friends. Also probably the worlds largest mug. Thoughts, ideas, opinions?

coloured hair

I know coloured hair (like, colours of the rainbow type-thing) has been a trend for over a year, but only now am I really considering it for myself. My best friend, Maddie, had pink put in her blonde hair for about a year and that looked amazing but I never considered it for me. To be fair, I am pretty sure I will not be getting anything like this done (I try to be adventuress with my hair; I have been Lady GaGa white, am red now, cut it guy-short at one stage etc) but this would just be so hard to maintain and I personally don't think I could pull it off!

Here are the pictures that got me thinking:

The first one is my favourite I think, the second and third is the most amazing colour but would be a bitch to maintain (I imagine the colour would all run out after 2 washes), in the fourth both colours are nice and subtle, and the fifth just looks like candy floss. Which I love.
