The Experimental Year of My Hair

I was browsing through my Instagram pictures and noticed how many times my hairstyle has changed within a year. It all started last year (2014) in August when after working for the whole summer I wanted to have some luxury in my life and decided on for a new hairstyle. I had had highlights many times before so I decided to try something totally new for me - the ombre hair color.

I really loved my long hair with the red ombre color but last spring I got an urge to cut my hair short. I have always been the type of person to grow their hair and then cut it short again and then start the growing again and so on... the circle simply continues.


I loved my new short hair style but when the summer was coming to it's end I decided to do something I never had dared to do before though the thought had crossed my mind ever since I was a kid. How I would look like if I was blonde? And so I dyed my hair blonde and that probably has been the best decision in a while. It is hard to explain the feeling but I think everyone who has younger siblings with different hair color gets this. Though my younger siblings have had totally blonde hair the color nowadays is more like somewhere in between sandy blonde and brown. However, I have always been the only one with this dark, almost black, brown hair color.


From the very start of my blonde experiment I knew I wouldn't be able to have that hair for a long time since it costs a lot of many to color the roots again and again. And naturally it damages the hair. So I decided I would keep it only few months. I had my roots fixed once and also my hairdresser suggested trying the red color underneath my bangs.


Aaaand so I'm back to brown color now. My roots were starting to show too much so I decided dyeing my hair a bit darker to hide them. Well, the result was way more close to my own color than I expected. The color as supposed to be light brown and now I have clearly brown hair. I don't dislike the color but I would have liked to dry the lighter brown. That's what you get when you try to save money and dye the hair yourself.



This has been the year of hairstyle experiments. I am actually really curious. Which hairstyle suits me the best in your opinion? And are there any hairstyle experiment stories you would like to share in the comments.
   I was just about to write about my hair care routines and how I don't wear make up that often or do my hair. But then I thought I should save that for another post.

Well, thats all for this time. Should I really write more beauty and lifestyle posts? I don't know. Let me know if you are interested in those.
