Getting the chop...Its Pixie Cut Time!!

I dont know how to adequately get across how much i LOVE long hair, i've always had long hair, and even used hair extensions to obtain the illusion of luscious long locks! However, through nobodys fault but my own, my hair has taken quite a knock over the past two years! I've bleached it and been blonde, dyed it back black, tried to create a balayage look and fried off all the ends of my hair, cut it to shoulder length and got extensions to hide the damage!! Its has been a constant battle, until recently!

As part  of my list i decided to change my hair colour (it was jet black) to a pale pink! So after watching countless videos of how ANYONE can get dazzling white hair from having black hair! (NO YOU CANNOT, DO NOT TRY) I did however end up with dazzling white roots and a somewhat ginger mane...not badly unlike a lions mane! SERIOUSLY! Now the sad thing is that i did infact rope my younger brothers girlfriend into helping me do all this...just to share the responsibility haha. However as a result of this the pale pink did not take...so we opted for a nice shade of purple.....purple washed out blue...and so the cycle continues!!

Following this, began the cover up job!! 3 rounds of hair dye - 2 brown and a final coat of black!! and another full set of extensions! However during my stay in the Gaeltacht i took my extensions out and had a proper look at my hair, realised that unfortunately it was utterly fried. There was no hope! My black had faded into a browny/blondey/green colour that was unbearable.... so back to the hairdressers i went!!

Thursday morning the ordeal began! Cleanse the hair....take out the black......view the damage.....cover the green.....(with red apparently)....and dye back over that with brown!! but what can be seen? This incessent green!! So home i go with hair cut to just under my chin that is still most definitely 3 different colours...albeit not the same colours as before!! but also a niggling feeling that maybe i should just chop it all off? start fresh??

Sooo friday morning thats exactly what i do!! I called back in and credit to the amazing hairdresser thats exactly what she did!! And for an hour i sat there with my eyes closed completely unaware of waht was happening to my hair and putting my complete faith in the woman with the scissors! Amazingly talented lady i must say, and when i opened my eyes I was thrilled!! I have embraced the Pixie Cut and im loving it!!

I know people can be iffy about cutting off their hair and trust me i completely understand but i have to say i feel somewhat liberated and proud of myself for doing it!! And as far as i can see the Pixie is here to stay!!

Peace Out
