I am a little behind with this one. I actually went and had my hair done last Thursday. I had Hope take pictures of the process and had a great time chatting with the woman doing my hair. I wanted to use her name and get her some free publicity, but due to some personal issues going on she is not taking any more clients. I chose the colors blue and purple because they are my favorites and I could not make up my mind on which one I preferred. I was really nervous about having my hair bleached, but the whole process was fairly relaxing. She told me to wait 48 hours before washing my hair, and Hope told me not to brush it too much. I decided I'd wait till I could wash it, have Hope help me style it, then take some good pictures for the blog. But life got in the way (kiddo's birthday party prep and actual party) so the picture taking session was rescheduled for Monday. Then I had an accident and wound up in the hospital (I'm working on a post with the details). I decided to just post what I have, and you guys can see me all dolled up in my video post.
The first picture is the "before" shot of my hair from behind. The next few are of the bleaching process. Then there's me rocking the tinfoil look, and finally the last one is of my colored locks. I've been getting lots of compliments! The first few days you could see lots of pretty blue and purple, unfortunately most of the purple is gone now. Seems my hair does not hold color as well as I'd like it to. The blue is still very pretty though. I'm not sure if this is something I want to stick to, I like the way my hair looks with blue in it, maybe I'll do it again. But it is a pricey hair-do and I am not brave enough to try a do-it-yourself job. It was a new experience, one I enjoyed; which of course was the whole point.
