Me minus about 4 inches

The story of my hair continues over the weekend I've had my hair chopped and I've had it coloured again!!, Its been about 6 weeks since i had it stripped so I thought id give it a while to let me hair settle, my goal is to achieve a golden brown/toffee colour [Lauren goodger], we are getting their slowly this will take a while as I've had my hair all sorts of colours being black for the most part. From having the black stripped my hair was left a copper I dunno what to call it I was told black is made up of alott of red so this is why my hair went a funny copper/orange/red tone anyway the girl at the salon new I wonted to get rid of what I had and eventually go a nice golden brown/toffee so to kill some of the copper/orange/red I believe they used a more ashy brown I cant remember exactly but they know what their doing I don't have a clue lol you could tell even after just 5 mins i could see more of a brown tone to my hair thank god!!. Once the colour was washed out was time for the chop!! we had spoke about cutting it, a good few inches to make it easier its so dense and thick my hair its far to heavy and its a nightmare to do anything with it so we went with taking it shorter adding shorter layers, now I don't no if I was feeling brave or it was due to the fact i had a bottle of rose before going ha but I was celebrating wills and kate's wedding but I went with it and before i knew it my hair was all over the floor!! I thought OMG!! I've always had really long hair and I felt sort off naked its hard to say but I really like the way its turned out you know when your use to something like its your comfort zone and you change something and its like what have I done!! but the more you get use to it the more it grows on you. Its not a dramatic change but like I said its hard stepping outer your comfort zone. Haveing said that im very happy, Looking forward to my next trip already even tho I do like the colour its not what i ultimately wont but i have be patient :D.

My barnet :D


Some of you may have noticed my hair!! its not black any more thank god :D Ive bin wanting to get rid for a while after many attempts to strip it my self it didn't work as much as I would of liked to. I even tried to lighten it witch was a big big mistake lol, I wish I had pics to show you but my phone went missing over the weekend :'( feels like I've losted my right arm.
Anyway after going to a few salons I was told my hair snapped when they applied the stripper witch I couldn't understand as I felt my hair is not in that bad of shape, I was told to use vosenne shampoo Im sure most of you have heard of it apparently its really good at fading colour, so I started washing my hair everyday three times at a time for about three days until on a night out I got talking to a hair dresser and she said she would do it for me I thought omg finally!!! she said no hair strand test would be needed she said my hair felt fine.
The morning came Saturday morn good job I wasn't out drinking Friday because it was a very long day!!!. So we went through what I was having strip colour cut, we started I knew my hair would more then likely go ginger it did my roots being a very Kevin ginge shade you know Kevin and Perry lol all I wanna do is do it :DDDD makes me smile that, the lengths of my hair went like a copper colour I would have posted pics but I cant!!!. Seeing my hair was abit of a shock ha I didn't wont to look even tho I knew it was going to get sorted its still abit of a O NOOOO moment.
I could only pic from a certain choice of shades due to how warm my hair was from having it stripped the girls in the salon helped and I went with one they had to use to diff colours due to by roots being alot lighter after the strip, Im not sure what colours exactly but it wouldn't go what it looked like in the book I knew that it would take a few trips to get the colour I finally wont.
So then colour went on I was getting rather bored by this time it had taken at least id say 3 hours 2 get to this point after they washed my hair after the colour my roots were still far to bright so a toner was then used more waiting then another shampoo, my roots were still brighter then my length another toner was put on again more waiting another shampoo and thank god it was pretty much the same colour as the rest of my hair. By now id been in at least 5 hours I was falling asleep my boyfriend to was getting very p***d off bless!!! lol lastly a lovely blow dry and cut and boy was i glad it was all over with. From 9 in the morn till 3 in the afternoon 6 hours it took but worth it
It was a dramatic change from having black to going a i actually cant describe the colour sometimes it looks a brown/red sometimes it looks a red/copper in diff lights but i liked it and was so glad the black was gone. Eventually i wont my colour like Lauren Goodgers hair i love it out of [The Only Way Is Essex]. not sure if i wont the lighter colour she's had or the darker colour she's had. Any one else watch this..? SHUTTTTT UPPPPPPPPPPPP HA. They did a really good job and my hair was absolutely fine I still had it it hadn't fallen out..? the girls did say alot of saloons will just say that your hair snapped because they simply don't wont to strip black hair as its very hard to get it an even colour after.
All i can say is dont dye your hair black and it you do wont to colour/strip/lighten it id defo leave it to the professionals ive spent a fortune over the months its really better to pay that extra and getting it done properly.
Another thing i feel i have to do my make up diff its werid like i cant pull off the dark eyes nude lips anymore..? i duno what to do lol i need to play around with my make-up less or more..? i never thought about this :'(((((((((((

Curly Locks Babyliss Pro Porcelain Conical Wond


My search for loose curls led me to trying out one of these wonds ive heard about them but didnt think much of them until a friend of mine had one, i have trouble with curling my hair full stop its so heavy and thick so i didnt think it was going to work i was surprised to see it actuly worked not the loose curls i wonted but still i had a curl, my friend had a thin one so i thought maybe if i get a thicker one i may get what im after i received my Babyliss Pro Wond yesterday i got the thickest wond they do 32-19 mm at 28.20£ witch i thought was a decent price i got it from www.hairtrader.co.uk lots of a dif hair stylers straighteners hair products available, here is what Babyliss say about their product
[This Babyliss Pro Pink conical wand can create original styles with ease and has been designed for hairstyling professionals. If you are looking for control and versatility to create your perfect style then simply wrap the hair around the heated barrel and create anything from classic curls and flicks to soft silky waves.]
Did it do what it says its ment to do ermm im not sure i just wrap my hair around the wond and that was that i don't know if theirs a technique but i defo don't have one lol it was easy enough tho watch out for burning your fingers this thing gets so hot they provided some finger protector things but i didn't like them why not just provided a proper heat resistant glove ..? I did my whole hair in around 10/15 so wasn't bad. This isn't what im looking for but did provide me with curls just not the loose curls im after, goldey locks looking hair just dosent do anythin for me but i do feel this is worth a mention was nice and all but my search will go on..Any ideas gurls on what stylers/curlers.... i should try out what will finally give me what i want..? I wont the day after youve curld your hair sorta thing were its fallen out but theirs still a slight curl. Ps i did miss some of my hair like a idiot im no pro lol

FoxyLocks Instant Beehive/Bouffant


Finally a way to get an instant new look to your hair without damaging it. Im sure alot of you know the FoxyLocks webpage and Imogen who has a YouTube page aswell as a blog after seeing her use this i wanted to have a go myself she makes it look very easy witch it is but ive had to keep haveing a go until i felt myself it looked how i wanted it to. I found the more hair you use at the front the better got to make sure the instant beehive/bouffant is covered much as poss, i dint actuly need to back comb when i used this but you can my hair is thick and pretty much goes where i want it do i get instant hight with just this, without the help i find it pretty hard to get hight and volume by backcombing, i just placed the instant beehive/bouffant under the front section of my hair placed the hair over it and clipped it at the back pulled both sides of my hair back and clipped again and it was done not even to 10 minuets i dont think. And and just under a fiver its a barging comes in dark brown and a blonde. Aswell as selling hair accessories FockyLocks sell a wide colour range of the finest quality Remy human hair extensions and also false lashes.

Colour Mate Aussie Hair


Wow after using the three minute colour miracle colour deep treatment and the miracle colour insurance leave in conditioner my hair has never been in better shape after trying to strip my hair again my hair was seriously damaged this time, very straw like dull no chance of running my hands through my hair without my hair getting tangled up i cant believe the difference in just a few weeks i have bin using just the two products. A friend actuly got me in to the leave in conditioner she said it was fantastic they were doing a deal at Tesco i think it where any two products for just six pounds so i made the most of it, i think the Colour Mate is limited addition tho god knows why.? Keep it!!!!!, i do believe Superdrug are doing the same deal at the two products for six pounds.
It says to keep the deep treatment on for three minuets i ignored this i smother my hair root to tip slap a shower cap on and leave it on while i have a bath id say a good hour then i wash it out, followed by the leave in conditioner when my hair is sort of damp i put plenty on never makes my hair feel greasy in the slightest, the days where i dont wash my hair i dont believe in washing my hair every day i dont think it helps, i just use the leave in conditioner on dry hair still great results did i mention they both smell gorgeous to!! i never thought i would find products at very affordable prices that would actuly work i think i have been very naive to think its not always the high end brands that are the best their are some amazing affordable products that wont brake the bank. The Aussie products are defo worth a look at theirs something for everyone frizz heat volume......

Schwarzkopf Osis+ Dust it


After being recommend to me by a few people i purchased this little babby. my main intention for this was so that when back combing my hair i wouldn't have to do so much back combing my hair aint 100% as it is and by back combing i dont think im really helping but with Schwarzkopf Dust it, it makes it far more easier to get the volume i want without really damaging my hair.
Very easy to use all i do is gently shake the bottle above my roots makeing sure my hair is dry, it comes out super fast i find it easier placing my hand over some of the holes its kinda like a salt shaker your'll see a white powder its dead fine you only need abit. I use a brush to back comb without using hairspray n get far better results from using the Dust It Powder, or if i just want a bit of volume if im not really styling my hair i just use my hands just by rubbing my hair/scalp where ive put the powder and i instantly get volume, it does look abit scruffy after you've been rubbing your hair/scalp but by gently brushing over you will sort out the fuss lol but id you like that just woken up look then yea dont bother with the brushing over, you can use this by just like shaking it over your hair to give it some texture this just wont work on mine its Far to long, i will admitt it does feel matt like it says doesn't make you hair feel nice at all defo a down side but i can get over that
I think this would be amazing for shorter hair, thiner hair also. I cant really style my hair useing this part from doing the bouffant/beehave, its more used to get volume, i think you could defo go to town with this on shorter hair should i cut my hair mmmmmmmmmmmmm NOT A CHANCE lol but what i want it for this does the job and im very pleased :D i will post a pic up of how high i can get the Bouffant/beehive i was holding back this time the higher the better i say!!

Phillip Kingsley Elasticizer

I was in a hair salon around 6 weeks ago haveing the mop cut, i askd about colouring my hair as ive wanted it done proper the girl said she would do a strand test to see what my hair would do having bein stripped and to see if the colour i wanted would take, this seriously gorgeous purple sounds mad but i love it any way she told me to ring back a few days after bad new my hair just broke when she stripped my now colour, didnt no my hair was in that bad condition to look at it you wouldnt really think it was but oviously it is she said to use a really good treatment and conditoner and to stop dyeing my hair witch ive stopted now, not colourd it for atleast 2 month and my roots are horrid theirs not that big of a differance but i can tell. Moveing on ha ive seen this product on qvc before and didnt really think much of it i dont think alot of things work most of the time i think its just hype. I dont no much about the product all i know is that its and intesive super moisturizing treatment witch adds elasticity, manageability bounce and shine when used regulary ?!?!?! ive used this now around 6/7 times now putting it on and useing the cap it comes with and leaving it for 20 mins before washing and theirs a def differance to my hair serious shine feels amazing looks healthier, i can see this being a regular buy why go back to dry damaged hair..? who wants that. The more times you use this the better even in just a short time of useing this their a change, not sure when im going to be able get my hair colourd soon i hope but i will defo be goin purple!!!.I dont no much about Phillip Kingsley but ive also been really interested in his Maximizer formulated to give lift and body to fine hair, but thing is i dont have fine hair this is why im curious i have alot of hair and cant do much with it, curls do not stay well to be honest its even hard to curl it just drops, only thing what gives me lift and volume to my hair is back combing with plently of hair spray. Im i in search for somthing im not going to get from a product..?? how of track have i gone ha. But yea gurls if your hair is in need of some tlc try this out theirs an Extreame Elasticizer to witch im not sure about think it may be for like afro hair permd..?? i dont no, its abit pricey but worth it :D you get what you pay for.. i have tryd to take a pic of my hair after i used the Elasticizer pic dosent do it any justice at all
