Ring - Topshop
I finally got my hair did! Yesterday I went to Cutting Room Creative in Leeds City Centre and after 7 long hours my hair was finally transformed from brown to blonde. I asked for a blue/silver tint to my newly white locks which I think adds an interesting dimension to it. Not too sure about the fringe, I think I prefer fuller ones but I can always get that done another time. I am very happy with the colour though. If you need a good colourist I would highly recommend you visit CRC.
My hair needed 3 bleachings and two applications of toner to get it like this so a fair bit needed to be cut off. My old salon used to just apply it once and then sit me under a heat lamp but they needed to cut my hair shorter so perhaps multiple applications are the way forward. It cost me £120 in total which is pretty decent plus I got 25% off as it was my first visit. I think something that helped to save more of my hair was this wonder hair treatment I used. I purchased this from Tesco for the grand total of... £1.50! I'd heard that coconut oil was a good hair treatment from the girl behind one of my favourite tumblrs so I figured I would give it a go. I found it in Tesco's world foods aisle where I also picked up some Sarsaparilla (I love this drink so much, it reminds me of when I was younger and we used to go to Woolwich market at the weekend). If you rub it all over your hair (the coconut oil that is, not Sarsaparilla!), sleep with it on and wash it off in the morning, you're left with the most amazingly soft hair. You can also use it as a kind of wax/serum. Its totally natural and so good for your hair. Give it a go!
After my appointment I popped into Urban Outfitters and got this cardigan. It is so warmy, I think I'm in love!
yes, yes, you were right. this kind of blonde suits you super well! :P pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks lovely! You suit being a blonde :) I had no idea you could get pure coconut oil from tesco, I always look for it in Morrisons baking section to no avail. It's really popular for afro hair; there was a man with dreads who used to get the same bus as me to town who would always smell of coconuts because of his hair haha.
ReplyDeleteyour hair looks awesome! 7 hours...damn ;)
ReplyDeletecan't wait to try to coconut oil..my hair is so damaged haha. thanks for the tip!

SEVEN HOURS?! what did you do in that time? i'd try and speak to every person in the place until they were sick of me. I live in Leeds too, I really need to get my hairs did too so maybe i will try this place.
ReplyDeleteYour hair really does look lovely though, I think I prefer blonde to brown. The tint is amazing too, I can't stand yellow hair! VOM!

ReplyDeleteahh wow your so brave to go from brown to blonde like that. my hair colour is about the same as yours was before you went blonde, and im thinking about going to the hairdressers to get it bleached but just to a warm blondish colour.. so scared about damaging my hair and it not suiting me though. :(

Hello! Just started following you! And on twitter too :)
ReplyDeleteThe blonde really suits you, I miss platinum blonde life myself so relish it while you have it! :P
Hope youre having a lovely weekend :) x
Love the new hair :) I am a new follower and I have to say that you have a lovely blog. xoxo
ReplyDeleteyour hair is amazing! when i dyed mine red from platinum (and hated it) most salons refused to dye it back to platinum because they said it would just fall out. anyway in the end i got it done & it didn't fall out but it cost a fortune & took multiple visits! I wish I'd gone to the salon you went to now.
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning with the new blonde hair - it really suits you - I wish I could pull it off. Also, thank you for visiting my blog and following me. I'm now following you too :) x
ReplyDeleteP.S Sorry I forgot to ask this before. I might be being really thick but where can you buy coconut oil from? x
ReplyDelete@Helen - thanks for following :) i got the coconut oil from tesco in the world food section but i think you can get it in quite a few supermarkets. its used a cooking ingredient in many different cuisines.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I think I like your hair best blond and I might have to try out that coconut stuff, I love natural products.
ReplyDeleteI recently asked "pay someone to take my online accounting class for me" and they did a great job! They were very helpful in making sure I understood the material and got a good grade. I also got a new hairstyle recently and I'm very happy with the new haircut.
ReplyDeleteYour hair style looks amazing, now I am also willing to own your hair style because it really cool. I also wanted to buy the hair oil which you mentioned above. So, please kindly let me know that where can I get this hair oil. Currently I need to write my assignment and that is why I can not do some research about the product. So, if you tell me the place that it would be more feasible for me.
ReplyDeleteI had fun expressing my superb and incredibly insightful thoughts. Together with my friends, personalized medals shared.
