Experimenting & Your Hair

-"So idiotically I dyed my hair orangey yellowy today fml"

(That is all I have about a post I wanted to write about but it's the 5th of October now so let's see how this goes, lordddd)

So I dyed my hair on the 24th of September 2016 at a hair salon, professionally for the first time. After failing at it with box dye by myself. Like my hair's naturally jet black and so I had to get it bleached and shit for it to actually make a significant difference. Oh and I chose to dye it like a warm toned brown and few months later I tried lightening it with box hair dye but it sort of looked darker after that....So all that time I was a bit regretful and iffy and wanted to lighten it even more...

So then on the 12th of August 2017 I was googling all the cheap ways I could, because I was not looking to spend salon money again, it's too much lmao. And I came across many successful videos

of cream peroxide and baking soda. Mind you cream peroxide is like £1.99 so I was like lit, that's even cheaper than fricking a box dye of £5 or so....Well I thought....

So I've got my newspapers everywhere with my gloves, tryna be all cautious cos this is literally some chemical shit. And all I remember is my hair GENUINELY sizzling, like it was heating up...But then the colour was coming through and I really wanted my ugly uneven looking black roots to lighten...so what did I do? firm it. And I waited the full 1 hour. Like maybe if I left it for even 15 minutes it would have came out sort like I wanted...So then I've wrapped my hair in a towel to naturally dry because I wasn't trying to damage it even more because I knew that this procedure was already going to damage my hair...And then when my hair's finally dry and IT'S FRICKING ORANGE. At that point I knew I fucked up. LMAO like biggg time. And lemme just tell y'all it was crispyyy as fuckk! And so I spent most of my time wearing a bandana covering my hair to hide from my mum.

I ended up having to go back to the salon on the 16th of August. After so much hunting I finally found one that done it there and then  Let me stress the fact I had less than 24hrs to fix it before results day and yeahhhh there goes my £95. That was literally so heart breaking. But my hair was looking flawless coming outttt; literally a guy just went ''beautiful'' whilst walking past me. #GassMoments haha...But yeah probably got all the attention because my hair was sleek for once and I also got it cut in layers so my hair was just flowing nicely with the wind on that day. (Yeah setting the sceneeeee haha)

And then on the 17th of August which was results day the guy I had feelings for...(still care about) the only compliment he ever gave me, even though it fricking sounded like a diss was on my hair. Like I was just walking away after saying cya and he went ''Your hair looks much better, it looks better like that, looks much better like that'' Like a fricking replay button and I just turned around with my natural instinct with most situations with him, with a WTF screwing face and then I just smiled and said "Okay, thank you''...because had to realise it was the last time at school and yeah...</3 And there was that other time I found out I got a D in psychology LOOOL-FML and I was proper hiding from my teacher and she's just coming over being all bubbly complimenting how nice my hair looks and yeah awkward memoriessss of that day haha(On a side note 4 people got D's okay. From a class of 9 and 3 dropped out (tryna rationalise it lmao even though there's no excuse.) But yeah even till this day I wish I took more out of my alevels like they were all beautiful subjects and it's sad that I only remember it as being proper stressed, unorganised... while juggling other dramas in my life...Like Twitter was not exaggerating shit like those pages that dramatise how alevels are the death of you, but it's proper stressful ...especially the fact I have the woooorst procrastination. I really wish I stayed on top of things but with a levels it's so easy to fall back and once that happens, it's just hella overwhelming from there on...arghh) But like my psychology teacher always used to say ''IT'S A LEARNING CURVE''

Moral of the post: Your hair is valuableeee don't mess around, especially with a fricking chemical reaction! 

The split ends and dryness aren't worth it, you might as well get it professionally done than constant fuckups through unpredictable trial and errors. It costed me £95 guys this fricking trial and error. But I genuinely like the colour now. even though my black roots are creeping in again but oh wells life. The shades more goldy brown now.
