Well ladies, this week has been a trying week for my hair and myself! Let’s see…I ruined my hair with an awful color, my ends broke off horribly, I put another color on top of the awful one, got a rinse to correct what couldn’t be fixed, got 2 inches of my hair chopped off, and now I’m sporting layers. Let’s just say my hair has been through some things.
To begin, I was only going to color my hair with Texture & Tones “Cherrywood” for highlights, but after I checked the highlights during processing the color came out looking really cute so I told myself, “…why not color your whole head??!!??” BIG MISTAKE! With the hair that I had already highlighted I didn’t bother to rinse it out and let it dry before I put color on it again, instead I just added the rest of the hair dye to my hair and let that process as well. It turns out that when I finished I looked like some bright orange fool! That same day I went out and brought a color closest to my natural color so I could fix that mistake, however, I wasn’t going to put it in until the next day. Well, needless to say, after that first color my hair started to break off, not a lot, but every time I touched my ends they would fall to the sink. Now mind you, this could be due to wearing my hair in a curly style for 6 days, and I could just blame that on shedding, but never had my hair broke off at the slightest touch or pull. Anyways, my ends looked a horrible mess after re-coloring what I messed up. And at that, I still wasn’t satisfied with the new color, but I knew I could no longer put more chemicals on my hair so I went out and brought an Adore rinse in “Mahogany”. It turned out really good, but I knew I was in desperate need of a trim. I called and set an appointment with the hairdresser for 8:00 a.m. because I wanted to trim my ends and I also had a council to go to so I wanted some sort of hairstyle.
While at the hairdresser I told her that I knew my hair needed to be trimmed, but then I made up in my mind to start my hair journey over! I needed a fresh start and told her to give me layers and cut what needed to be cut! Let me tell you, she had a field day with my hair, picking up hair here and snip, and pulling out this hair and snip. In the end, although my hair doesn’t touch anywhere near my shoulders anymore, she did a great job with the cut. My ends look great and I don’t have any see through areas anymore. Also, my hair has more of a bounce and flow to it. Hopefully I can be back at my last hair length by the end of January, and this time it will be even and look even healthier.
Oh yeah…pictures are in my album!
