Short (and sweet, hopefully) post to share my new hair with all of you!
 |
| Before photo. |
Basically, I was interested in getting the balayage look but I didn't want to ruin my hair by bleaching it too much. My hairstylist decided the best option was to give me balayage foils, only it didn't end up quite the shade we had anticipated (apparently my hair is resistant to lightening or something like that...go figure), so we ended up with almost coppery tones throughout. It's actually quite hard to photograph as it seems to look different every time I try to take a photo!

| After photo, wearing it straight. |
And these photos were taken the next day after the curls had relaxed a little.
Overall, I do like it, although it wasn't 'exactly' what I was going for, but hey, I figure I'll let it go for a bit and if I get sick of it, I'll just dye it another colour! Or I'll add in another shade and end up with dip dyed locks! Life's too short to be boring! :P
Oh, and after my hair appointment, I stopped at the market and got some lovely orchids for myself, because I'm worth it. ;) I love them, they are so pretty and summery, it makes me happy just looking at it!

What do you think of my new hair colour, ladies? Do you ever buy yourself flowers?
Oh love the hair!! Mine is also resistant to lightening! But agree, it does look better with curls!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why ours is? It makes it rather hard to get adventurous...sigh.
DeleteLove it! I'm so jelly of anyone with long wavy hair who can pull off the ombre look, I agree that it looks much better with waves. Looks good on you though! What colours would you think of dyeing it with in the future?
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you. I'm sure you could pull it off, too, your bob would look tres chic with ombre/foils!
DeleteI might perhaps add a red to it. :)
Oh, love your new profile photo, btw! :)
Deleteyour new hair really looks nice :) and you have gorgeous hair ..
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you, Saumya, that's such a lovely thing to say. :)
DeleteI absolutely love it. It looks gorgeous both straight and with curls but I do think I prefer the curls. You have such lovely long luscious locks - I am rather envious. x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Kate, you always say the loveliest things!
DeleteI don't know why but curls make everything look prettier. :)
I guess the grass is always greener as I LOVE your hair! I've always wanted blonde hair!
xx
It looks pretty! I like the color it turned out!

Oh, thanks, Mish, but it's usually straight/wavy like the first photo...I do wish it would be curly or in waves naturally!
DeleteThis looks lovely on you! I've been tempted to do it myself! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tara, and you should go for it! I have been wanting to for a while but I was always worried about drying my hair out!
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Hun, whichever way you want to wear it. Nearly had a fit when I read about "my new hair" thinking you might have had it cut short. So glad you didn't.
ReplyDeleteWith love,
Trish_D
Trish, darling, I always have a little lift when I see that you've left me a comment! Nope, not cutting it short anytime soon, and I promise I will give you a head's up before I do!
DeleteBig hugs and kisses!
You have such a lush mane of hair! The balayage looks really flattering on you xo
ReplyDeleteAw, Vita, you are too sweet, I think it just really big and bouncy because of the waves! It's a lot flatter when it's straight, haha.
DeleteThank you, I really wasn't very sure about it but you are all experts so if you all like it, it must not be that bad!
It looks fantastic hun!!! Sometimes its so great to do something different with your look.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely! I LOVE playing with my hair and change it around all the time, but working outdoors can really damage my hair, and now that it's in relatively good condition, I hesitate to bleach it in case it gets fried!
DeleteLove it!! I have always wanted to try this, or dip dyed ends
ReplyDeleteIt looks very flattering on you Xx :)
Thank you, darling Sarah! I think you should totally go for it, I imagine you'd look wonderful with it!
Deletexx
Did your HD bleach? Mine bleached and he kept making fun of me that I will look asian bleached. HAHAHA
ReplyDeleteAdore the coppery tone Coco - it suits you SO well! Love it when things don't turn out according to plan, but they're fab anyway. The soft waves are super sexy too, but you always look stunning sweetie :-) And gorgeous orchids - I only ever see the purpley pink ones in my neighbourhood, but this mix of colours is so cheering :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Love the colour accents on you, so pretty! I agree, the balayage looks beautiful with waves/curls :)
ReplyDeleteOoh it really suits you. Gorgeous! :) x
ReplyDeleteI love your hair and I love the orchids too. Embrace the change and you look so well X
ReplyDeleteIt looks really nice! I love your hair when it's got a bit of a curl to it, too. I don't buy myself flowers but getting them (birthday!) makes me ueber happy for the rest of the day. I'm always jealous when I see someone obviously buying flowers for someone else...
ReplyDeleteI really Love Love Love your new hair! its so pretty and the cut is great! nice choice :)
