My Commitment-Free haircut!

I change my hair sooo often and this time I opted for a cute bob ^.^
BUT! I've been trying to grow my hair for such a long time and I didn't want to ruin all my hard work!!

Luckily! I found a solution for this problem :)

1. I bought some nice extensions.
My favourite brand is Halo Extensions. They look very real and they last
a good while with proper care.


They also come in really cute packaging ^_^ and I got a little card too!
For me, one pack was enough because my hair has fairly choppy layers and
I only needed extensions to hide the longest layer of my hair.


2. I cut the extensions to the width I needed, in my case I only used half.
The other half I will save for next time! :)

2. I braided the long layer of hair that I would otherwise have cut and attached the extensions.
(sewing method - and actually I had some help from a friend, I find it a little tricky to do alone!)

3. Cutting my extensions.
I find it easier to cut extensions after they are installed. I'm pretty confident cutting my own hair, but there are plenty of internet tutorials, or you could even pop to the salon if you don't mind spending the money.
Most hairdressers will cut extensions just like your own hair :)


The finished look!
Easy :)

Hair: Back To Ombre

So I wanted to try and get back to my natural blonde/brown hair colour, and dying my hair brown 
(from red) seemed like a good step.

I used a colour stripper to get rid of most of the red, and then proceeding with the brown dye :)
(and a little blonde for my ombre :P )


Also!! No Extensions this time! My hair is ACTUALLY this long.
I thought it would never grow!!


Top layers are still a little choppier than I'd like, but I'm slowly growing them out :)
Wish me luck :P

Autumn Hair: Deep Red

Earlier this year I went completely blonde, followed by a medium brown dip dye and finally a darker brunette.

In my opinion I think I'm suited to darker hair. But brown ... well, it's just too safe for me!

I wanted a more vibrant colour, while keeping my hair as dark as possible.



A dark red seemed like the best solution ^-^




I really love this shade, it's a deep red, but is still vibrant even in dull lighting.




Colour inspiration? My geek glasses!

Maybe this colour will last :)

ALICE: Black hair and extensions



I know, I know ... I'm forever changing my hair (which you can see here), but I love change!!



I'm naturally blonde/brown, but I much prefer being a darker brunette :)
