Retiring from dying my hair.

So after about 12 years of dying my hair I admit defeat. I have said this many times now but I've had every colour under the sun (it feels like anyway) and I ended up hating them all and going back brunette... every time. Right now as I type this I have a hedgehog hairstyle. Blonde hair just wasn't worth the hair loss and tears.

During the back to brunette process a key ingredient is to dye your hair red. If you are ever going to take the plunge to platinum then please do remember dying your hair back to brunette is no easy task. As you can see above my hair has all fallen out at the back and I am left with spikes. I looked like Johnny Rotten last night.

Today my hair is looking somewhat back to normal at the front at least. I have had two semi permanent browns over it and it is still wishy washy to say the least. However it is on the mend!

With this blog post comes my warning, please do not bleach your hair as much as I do to impress others. For years I have fallen into so many hair trend traps with the hopes I will look better. At the end of the day, what you like the most is what matters. You have to be happy with your colour first, I hope I can take my own advice and stick to my brunette locks. It's better to have healthy happy hair over the sad excuse I have now. You will always have that person who thinks you look better blonde, red, black or even purple... But it's you who has to live with it.
