Hey friends!
Guess what?! I FINALLY got my hurr did. I did the ombre (faded hair color), celebrity trend of 2011. I gotta admit, the first time I heard of this trend I was thinking, "That's kinda weird". But what can I say...it eventually grew on me. I know I'm way behind on the trend but that's okay...I don't always follow timelines or current trends. ha
So I did it! I dyed my hair for the first time by myself. Scary! I never really dyed my hair and I am too cheap to do it professionally. So this was a pretty big deal for me. But I wasn't too worried because I figured I could always dye it back or cut off the ends if it's messed up. And I had good training from my trustee youtube friends like this one here. hehe. And I don't remember the last time I got a haircut (probably over 6 months...I know, pretty bad huh?), so I don't care about damaging my already dead ends.
In order to get this effect bleaching is the only way to go. I didn't want to go too drastic and bleach blonde, so I stuck with more subtle shades that blend better with my jet-black hair. Hmm...I don't know...maybe I'll do it again and go lighter. heh heh. But I'm happy with the results and happy to have a change. Anyways, enough of my ramblings...
What do ya'll think? Should I go lighter?

I think it looks really nice on you. But don't get it lighter! Brown looks natural with black, but blonde doesn't. It would look like you accidentaly put the ends of your hair in peroxide!

Oh my goodness, you did an AMAZING job!!!
ReplyDeleteI've actually been thinking about doing this with my hair too! I love the way it looks when it's curled. Nice subtle fade.
I think you could go a bit lighter but it looks great the way it is as well! You got a win-win situation here. :)
