Vidal Sassoon - Merlot Vibrant Red

Back to blogging

Wow! It's been a long time since I have posted anything. I've been wanting to post something for a few months now but just never seem to have the time. About a month after my last post I had a little hair catastrophe (what else is new with me) and ended up having to shave it.  So once again I had to start from the beginning. I currently have a little bet going with my boyfriend concerning my hair.  I'm supposed to go six months without cutting it at all.  Almost half way there, and haven't cut it yet. Yay me!
P.S. I'm happy to announce that my Mom is now cancer free!!

6 months

Staying away from the scissors didn't last, my hair got too unruly. I haven't cut any length off of the top so this is 6 months of growth. I think it's about the length it was when I shaved it.  So yay for progress!

3 Months

It's been three months since I shaved my head and I decided I would add a photo every three months to show the progress. So here you go...

                                       

6 weeks

It's hard to believe that its already been six weeks since I colored my hair. I'm kinda surprised by the color it is. I guess my hair has gotten lighter over the years. As it grows out more I'm really curious to see what it looks like. I haven't seen my natural hair color is so many years. I'm going to attempt to not cut my hair for an entire year. It may get to out of control and I may end up with a mullet so I'll have to cut some of it, but I thought it would be an interesting experiment. So here goes 10 1/2 more months of no cutting.

My Mom

I love my Mom.  She's the best!  We found out recently that she has breast cancer.  She is going to have to undergo 24 rounds of chemo.  Yesterday I went and shaved her head. Others shaved their heads to show support too.  This was a hard decision for me to make since I have been trying to grow my hair out for the last few months. After thinking about my Mom and everything that she has done for me and still does for me I really felt like I needed to do something to show her I was behind her.  So I shaved my head.  But the real kicker is that I decided as long as my Mom is fighting cancer I won't color my hair.  This is going to be really hard for me and a huge challenge.  I hope that my Mom will see how much she means to me and that I'm behind her 100%!

Revlon Colorsilk - Dark Mahogany Brown

Revlon Colorsilk - Dark Blonde

Herbal Essences - Deep Red

This used to be my favorite color.  I haven't seen it for a while and was so stoked to find it at the store.

Oops.

I decided to color my hair and it ended up way darker than I wanted. So I had to take the color back out.  I forgot to take a picture with the other color in, so this is after I took the color out.

Wella Color Charm Toner - Pale Blonde

Bleached it twice.  Then used toner.

Some Kierstin magic.

Since I have been trying to grow my hair out a bit I have been trying not to color it as much.  I went to my awesome stylist and let her do what she wanted with it. This is the result.

Been a while...

It's hard for me to believe that I actually haven't colored my hair in 7 weeks.  I honestly cannot remember a time when I went so long without coloring it.  I'm working on growing it out a bit and know that if I don't stop coloring it so much it's never going to happen. I've been tempted several times to go back to blonde but knew I would lose all my progress if I did.  So for now, I'm patiently trying to grow it out.
