Next Hair Appointment


This is my lion mane.  

Long ago were the days of my neat haircut.  I need another one.  Soon.

Here are some choices (and yes, I am ready to commit all the way):

1. I want my bangs to cover part of my face so I can blow it off like 'fffbbt!" and look all cool and what not.

2.  I like the dainty waves and the ash brown color.  If I don't get the cut, I'd really want the color.

3.  If I go ebony black, then I would look so cool and edgy like I'm ready to take over the world.  (I have an active imagination).

4.  I thought this was a nicer version of Justin Bieber's hair.  Hehehe!  But seriously I like the cut and the color (because I'm currently abhorring the orangey-blond/brown look), although I am fearful of the maintenance.  But if we don't risk, then we'd never have fun, right?  

Which one?  Which one?
1, 2, 3, 4?

Hair Diary: Over the Years

Back in 2010, I had short hair, and in 2008, I even tried a boy-cut.  My hair and I have been through a great many changes together.  One thing I've yet to do is to dye my hair in an outrageous color, preferably platinum blonde, but the upkeep would be dreadful on my hair and wallet.

2008
Was my handsome Asian boy stage
2008
Prince of Egypt stage

2009
My first time dying my hair and it was a honey brown hue.

Since I've started this blog, I've always had long curly hair.  My biological hair texture is actually wavy and my original hair color was black.  Because of different chemicals, my hair has now become an unhealthy ruddy color.  Thankfully, my new growth has taken over much of my hair, and I'm hoping to give it a rest before my next endeavor that would involve any chemicals.

With that said, I just want to take a couple of look at my hair as we've always known it since December of 2011.

December 2011
I usually have side-swept bangs and loose chemically-made mermaid curls 

March 2012
Pretty much the same

January 2013
Still the same except that I flat-ironed my hair.

June 2013
I was trying to change up my hair a bit by cutting my own fringe bangs.  I also had my hair permed again a couple of months earlier from when this photo was taken.

I really wanted to keep my long hair because it took so long to grow and it almost reached my waist~~  so much like a mermaid's.  However, I had a gift certificate that was expiring on Monday and because I didn't want to waste that!- decided that I'd just cut my hair.  Before I went to the salon, I thought that I'd only cut a couple of inches- but what's the point in that?!  So, I went for it!  

But I almost cried :'(  The hairstylist asked me when I tried to crane my neck to get a final glimpse of the dry dry dry hair she mercilessly chopped off, "What's wrong?"  I said, "I'm just sad.  That took 3 years to grow."  BUT I am so over those dry locks- although I still want to look like a mermaid someday...

Hair Diary: Color Me Dark

Finally!

I've allowed myself some pampering during the weekend- got a mani and a pedi, treated my face to exfoliating and a mask, and got a fresh color for my hair.  ^_^

It is hard for me to maintain my hair because it can be so time-consuming to be so high-maintenance about everything.  Oh yeah... and it costs $$.

This is not officially a review.  But here are some pictures.

Had to borrow this photo from Walmart.com because my SD reader is
malfunction :(
I wanted to get rid of the orange tint from my hair because
it makes the ends look burnt and unhealthy.  This color did
a good job accomplishing that.  Although, it certainly is unlike
the color on the box (my hair is too dark, I guess), I like how this
dark shade makes my skin look fairer.
Here is a view of the right and left sides of my head.  I really like the auburn color, but my roots are still very dark, as
you can very well see.  In certain lighting, the red tint does appear on my roots.

Overall, I am happy with my new hair color so I am throwing in this last photo for good measure.
So cute!  hahahahoo!
And by some miracle of angles, my nose actually looks taller here! :D
