So I'm a personal hair dye addict and I went through a Ramona Flowers phase where every two weeks I would dye my hair a completely different color. I'm proud to say that I've been every color and I wore it amazingly. But just like anyone else who dyes their hair to much I completely killed my hair. I murdered it in cold bottle bleach. So I solved the problem of mash potato hair (it’s when your hair is so fragile and stringy looking that with a slight touch it falls out) and chopped it all off to a cute pixie cut. It was such a relief to be free of that, but I still was going through a coloring epic. While I occupied my cute pixie cut I was a blonde, blonde with pink tips, burgundy, red, dark brown, hazel chestnut brown, so needless to say I killed my hair again. Not so badly this time but it was fried. It was a drug to be able to change my hair when ever but I was damaging my hair every time. So I needed an intervention and had my mother keep my money so I could buy a box of hair dye. That worked for awhile except now I had to deal with my hair growing out. UGH! Nothing is worst then the horribly long wait for your hair to grow. Like I get it! If you chop your hair off of course it’s going to take forever to grow back, but why the hell do we have to go through the many stages of ugly hair? Seriously at one point I swear I had a hair length that could have been confused as a mullet....so guess who wore piggy tails until the phase grew out, THIS GIRL! So I’m a natural dirty blonde and it’s an ugly shit blonde. Most of the times when I say that I’m a dirty blonde people imagine a blonde with some darker highlights...NO! I mean I was a brunette with blonde streaks or highlights or whatever you would call it. Which means my hair color was a dull ugly blonde that looked like dog shit. So with my hair growing in horrible mullet style lengths it also means that my true hair color was peeking its ugly face around the corner. So temptation was growing strong to buy a box of hair dye and hide that bastard hair color (sorry for the language).Any ways I eventually got a good length and kept my hair color dyed a dark brown so my roots wouldn’t be an issue. I eventually achieved should length hair and I was so happy cause my hair was back and looked so much better. Well then I celebrated in the worst way possible by dying my hair hot pink. Now how I convinced myself to do so I’ll never fully grasp that, but I think it went this way: “If I stick with just touching up one color then I should be fine.” “Yes that should work.” “Hello pink hair dye!” Just so you know I don’t use manic panic cause in my personal opinion it just downright sucks. Any how I was hot pink for like two years and my hair didn’t grow much cause it kept breaking off. I don’t know how I forgot that pink hair dye is a horrible mess that is hard to keep up with because it fades quickly and looks like poop when faded but I did so dying my hair was like an every 4 weeks thing or 5 depending on what shampoo I used. So I think I eventually gave up on pink and went to a copper red. LOVE THIS COLOR! It’s the one color I will always go back to and I can pull it off with all the different red hair colors. Well when I reached this hair color I decided to start taking better care of my hair. Well I don’t know if you guys use a site called Pinterest, but I do! Love the site because I’ve found a bunch of recipes and tricks to improve your hair. It totally works I’ve increased my hair shine, splinted ends, softness, brighten and cleaned my roots, and also managed to increase the growth in my hair. So I think a couple of my entries will be some of the recipes that worked for me and maybe if I can locate them all....a complete photo list of all the hair colors I did.
Well thanks for reading my stupidity during my youth with hair dye...not sure where I wanted to go with this, but it’s too long to continue anything else. So until next time! Thanks for following my fellow monsters.
