Last week I took a trip up to Rockalily Cuts in Shoreditch to have a chat with the owner, Ree Ree Rockette and her hairdresser Lucie Luella about my hair. It was quite bizarre having followed them both on Twitter for a while and then meeting them in person - but I needn't of worried they are both absolutely lovely, and the salon was gorgeous too!
I was just having a consultation as I've made a big decision with what to do with my hair. I want to dye it bright, electric BLUE. Yes, you did read that right. As in, Katy Perry style blue. I just figured that I want to do something crazy, that I feel I can best pull off while I'm still young, I don't want bright blue hair in my 40s (although I may have changed my mind by the time 20 years have passed!). As you may know, my hair at the moment is really long, and really, really black. Lucie told me that blue hair is out of the question for now, until I can fade it a bit and/or have it chemically stripped back to my mousey brown natural colour. So for the next few months I'll be washing it in washing up liquid and Head & Shoulders to try and fade the black dye as much as possible! It makes my hair feel really ropey and dry so I've been slathering it in Aussie conditioner and then a spray leave in one too. All for my bluehead mission!
I've been working like crazy over the past 6 weeks or so, and I'm so happy to say that this Friday I shall have finally paid off my overdraft, yippee! My next pay packet will then be actual money that is actually mine which is so exciting because I've been in my overdraft for what feels like forever. Damn student life!
Other than that, my boyfriend got the news through that he has passed his degree with a 2.i and I literally am so proud I could burst. His dissertation caused him so much stress and worry, I'm so glad it was all worth it in the end!

To celebrate, we're taking a trip to Brighton for a couple of days as neither of us have been before. I'm doing my research on where we should visit but if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear from you! I've already got JB's Diner and Choccywoccydoodah's on the list :)
Much love x

You should definitely go blue! I had dyed black hair for ages and waited and waited for it to grow out. In the end I gave up and went to get it stripped out and dyed red. The only thing to watch out for is that when you dye your regrowth, it's a different shade to the rest of it :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I did think that too! Hopefully I can try and get it some similar sort of colour to the rest of it! x
DeleteOh go for the blue! we're only young once! The upkeep is a pain but its beautiful :) i went from black to copper and have never looked back, best decision I've ever made! Xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm worried about the upkeep but I'm sure it'll be worth it - and your hair is lush! x
DeleteGo for the blue, I hate Katy Perry but I love that blue. I want faded pink, I'm blonde so it shouldn't be too tough. Defnitiely go for it! Argh, the end of Uni, have a lovely time in Brighton, it's a great place, obviously you'll be visiting the lanes looking for some not too overpriced vintage stuff! xx
ReplyDeleteOooh pink would be awesome! And thanks, I'll be making sure I hit the lanes! xx
DeleteIt's so weird, I realised today that I haven't seen any posts from you recently, went on your blog and I wasn't following you! Do not know how that happened haha. Anyway, go for blue! If I was brave enough, I totally would. I'm thinking of getting a blue wig :) Brighton is amazing, totally recommend the shops in the Lanes, they're all really unique :) xxx
ReplyDeleteHaha whoops, technical fault mabes! Yeah I might get one just to see what I'd look like with blue first but knowing me I won't have the patience and will just dye it before trying it. Will defo hit the lanes! :) xx
Deletep.s you should also totally get a blue wig!
Congrats to your boyf.
ReplyDeleteYou do know Katy Perry wears wigs right?> I'd just buy a wig for special occasions as i couldn't be bothered waiting for the black to fade! LOL.
good luck though.
Great blog.

Ah thanks, I do know she wears wigs but I'm dead set on making my actual hair a different colour because I'm so bored of the black. Here's hoping! x
DeleteI agree with everyone above that you should go for it! If you have the nerve now, seize the moment, I say. You could always locate a wig to try on just to see if it'll look good though!
ReplyDeleteAs for Brighton, I never got the chance to go when I was living in England, but a lot of Uk-based bloggers seem to love Snooper's Paradise!
