A Year In The Life Of My Hair...

This is a super random post, but 3 weeks ago I had my hair re-dyed orange so I thought I'd show you all the colours I've been since this time last year when it was orange again!

 So this is me in April last year when I was an orange-head with a full fringe. By this time my hair had been orange/yellow for about 2 years and I was a little bored of it. 

Orange washes out to a peachy pink colour which everybody absolutely loves and I have no idea why. This is the main reason I went blonde as I wasn't feeling the peach and re-dying it orange so often was a little
expensive!

So then it went blonde, it wasn't this blonde straight away but I got it there eventually. I kept the blonde for quite a while, I had it done just before I went on holiday to Tunisia in June and kept it up until about September, which is pretty long for me to keep one colour.








In between it being blonde I did dye my ends a mint green, the photo doesn't really show it well but I loved it so much, but it did fade after about 2 washes, so it didn't last much
longer than a month or so.







Then just before I started college I had it dyed purple. I wanted Kelly Osbourne purple but it went Cadbury purple instead, so I tried to wash it out pretty quick.









Then I finally got it the deep lilac that I wanted and I loved it so much this colour, but because my hair has so much bleach on it, all light colours just wash off so quick, so this soon faded to a silvery blonde.









So this is the final colour it was before the orange made a comeback, I'll probably go back to being blonde later on in the year or next year, it just depends on how I feel with how the orange sticks.







And this is me now, back with orange. It's mainly down to the fact that I am a massive Paramore fan, and I absolutely adore Hayley Williams, the singer of the band. She's always been a huge inspiration to me and I admire her 'no fear' approach to trying colour. After dying my hair orange 3 years ago I started to experiment a lot more with colour in my makeup and gradually gained a passion for it and strived to be a makeup artist. Now I'm so so happy in my chosen career path and I'm soon to be a fully qualified makeup artist. Hayley also released a 4 piece limited edition range for MAC makeup, which I purchased all 4 pieces, all based around her signature colour 'Orange'. It is such a stunning collection and for my first ever MAC purchase it was the best £57.50 I've ever spent!
