My NEWER Hair

So since I posted about my "new hair", I made another change. I did ombré! My friend Amanda came over and helped me pick out the dye, mix it, and she basically did the whole application process for me. If you're planning on doing any sort of DIY dye that requires painting something on, I highly suggest having a friend help you out. I definitely couldn't have done it without her! So anyway, here are a few pics.

My New Hair!

So I FINALLY remembered to put this up! Last week I decided to do a blonde streak in my hair. Surprisingly enough, my parents (or at least my Mom) agreed. I chose to use the hydrogen peroxide & baking soda method. I had heard it worked well and I didn't feel like waiting until I could go out and get bleach powder or blonde dye. Some people (especially online) said it was a terrible idea and that I would ruin my hair, but I obviously ignored them. I soaked my hair with peroxide and then coated it with baking soda before wrapping it in tin foil. I ended up redoing it a few times because I would take it out before I liked the color. In the end, the stuff was in my hair probably about 5 hours. As you can see it didn't damage my hair much, only made it feel a bit thinner, but nothing drastic. I LOVE IT! My original plan was to put pink over the blonde part, but I decided I'd feather do ombré. My friend Amanda is coming over next week to help me do it. I'm really excited and love how my hair looks now!
