The past few months... growth, style, color

I believe this occurred in July. My hair hit shoulder length when it was straightened and I was still trying to keep it healthy by not dying it a lot (and this was a rarity, me having it straight that is). Right below is my hair in its most natural state.

 HERE is after I dyed the top and bottom a L'oreal brown (no idea which one, but it was pretty) and the middle section is bleached out. Worn nice and natural.

 You can see the blonde in this picture :3 And how stinkin cute my low side pony was. It curled like that on its own. gah, I loved it!

 everything faded, like it always does. It got well past my shoulders. I'd say I was only about 6 to 8 inches away from my goal length but I was getting irritated with hair boredom so THIS was taken right before I shaved the left side of my head.

 

About a week later I bleached the shit out of my hair and trimmed it up since I had so many dead ends from letting it grow. Even if you treat your hair right it'll get split ends. But it was still long. However, I believe this was when I started to straighten again.

 

About a week or two after the bleaching I get my fist unnatural hair colors of 2012. My boyfriend looks like a 13 year old boy in this picture.

After lots of fading and boredom with that hair cut, I got a pro to give me a lot of layers. This is the closest to seeing the shaved side of my hair that I have in pictured, even now with it being a mohawk. Even though it was still long, I had basically been teetering on letting it grow still and saying "fuck it, I was born to have short hair!" Obviously short won out.

I find their licence plate very appropriate :)

Just thought I would share what happened to me growing my hair out. My personality. That's what.

Happy Dyings,

A bit of a photo dump :)

 

THESE are from September. The pink is Manic Panic Hot Hot Pink, the teal/green is N'Rage Twisted Teal and the purple was (in the first 2 pictures) Manic Panic Ultra Violet, but that faded I put a mixture of the Twisted Teal and Hot Hot Pink to make a similar purple. The final picture is after a lovely hair cut and a lot of fading.

REVIEW:The Purple was the first to go both times (although the mixture stuck much better). I've always had the problem with Ultra Violet. The Hot Hot Pink was second (as you can tell by my blonde bang in the last photo). And Twisted Teal almost refused to leave. It was SUPER long lasting and I highly recommend it! It was the one color that didn't need touched up in the month and a half I had it like that (although as you can tell by the last photo, taken October 6th, it did fade a bit towards the end).
GAH, I love how pastel and pretty it looked when I faded though.

 pinky pie, why we so crazy.....

While this color is very similar to twisted teal, it's a bit closer to the color I think of when we say Teal. It's green in some lights, and blue in others. It's Voodoo Blue by Manic Panic. I did this mid October and it's now early November and the fading has been minimal everywhere but the roots (which were still a little orange from bleaching). 

REVIEW: UNGH. This has been one of my favorite colors, and a favorite of people who run into me. I've gotten more compliments on this than on any other hair color, including Atomic Pink by Special Effects (which is gorgeous and long lasting if you like bright pink, btw). I've had hair stylist stop me to figure out where they can get it for themselves!

Now, I haven't washed this one very regularly which may be part of its longevity. Last month was pretty hectic but if it gets extra fadey I'll be sure to update you all on it. 

 Just for fun, he'res a picture of my ears being stretched to a 0 gauge. The tapers actually glow in the dark :P I can't for the life of me find them now that I have my silicone tunnels in, but I thought I'd share. You can catch a glimpse of the pretty pastels in my hair :3

Sorry I've been gone. I'm getting back into hair again. I cut it all off. It's a mohawk now. I still long for long hair, but it's just not my style.

XoXo,
