Hey girlies!
I just thought I would do a quick post today to show you my new hair! After about six months of contemplating it I finally bit the bullet and booked myself an appointment at the hair dressers to get my hair dip-dyed. The finished result isn't how I initially planned for it to look (don't you love it when hair dressers don't listen to you) but thankfully I love it none-the-less! I was pretty nervous before and during the process, as the last time I did anything adventurous with my hair was when I was fourteen and had bright red flashes haha!
Taken with DSLR.
Taken with iPhone
I thought I would include the iPhone photograph as well because I think it captures the colour of my hair better because I didn't have to use flash, although it makes my face look horrendously washed out haha! I might update this post with better photos tomorrow when I have more adequate lighting to take them in.
The colour was achieved by just lightening my hair; no toner was needed which I am glad of as I was in and out of the hair dressers within an hour and a half. I am thinking of lightening the ends a little more myself though to create more of a gradient effect. I also had a lot of layers cut in to my hair to give it some shape, but they will show better when my hair is wavy or curly :)
What do you think of my new hair colour? Have you or are you thinking of jumping on the ombre bandwagon?

Thanks lovely! :) x
DeleteI already seriously loved your hair. I also dig this ombre twist on it. Did you want it more gold and less copper, or? You can still work on getting exactly what you wanted, but, frankly, it does look fantastic exactly as it is now!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Melissa
Aww thanks sweet! I love the colour of it, I just wanted it a bit more subtle, more like highlights than a solid dip-dye... I love it anyway though! :) x
