Hey
Everybunny!
Right so
this is so so so much later than I meant it to be! Basically I had to sort
through my PC pictures folder and when you have like 8000 loose images you
kinda take your time sorting it out xD I've also made this into a YouTube video
which I'll link below but I know some people prefer looking at pics with no
damn talking and delays haha so enjoy!

So let’s start right
at the very beginning. this is my hair not long after i was born and had
learned to crawl. As you can see it was VERY blonde xD quiet surprising for
myself i must say!
Then a few years older
still a blonde colour
Now my toddler hair
STARTED to become more brown but still very blonde!
Right, now, heres
where the brown really kicked in! This is me around the first year or two i
think of primary school (not too sure)
And this is when i
left primary so before i went into high school, very brown now!
Here we have me a year
or 2 i think before leaving high school, i had blonde 'highlights' put in my
hair, pretty much takes over tbh xD and ill be honest i think it does look
kinda nice but at the same time i just could get on with it and probably dyed
it a slightly darker brown to my natural shade not too long after haha!
This is me 'all grown
up' for my leavers photo, still brown here but as you can see its very very
brown now! I had dyed my hair a couple of times a similar shade to my natural
(just a little bit darker) so my face wasnt as pale)
And now we have PROM!
I had dyed my hair red all over a few weeks before i think had left school by
then and it was like a month before prom i believe? A week AFTER exam results?
I was originally gonna have red highlights and my stepdad was like FUCK IT do
it all over! So i did xD and i loved it :) This is in 2009!
Heres 2 photos of my
hair when it had faded to a more gingery/copper tone and i have to say i really
love the copper tones! I feel like i have always suited the more reddy tones
with my complexion (well when i was younger anyways) and this was in april
2011! I lost the few images i had of myself in the 2 year gap but i was always
xxl red passion red!
Heres a VERY bright
image if my hair in red in June 2011. was at a sleepover that weekend so i dyed
it especially xD this is when it was at its most 'vibrant' i believe! And the
second image is of it in August after being brightened and the third is in
October which is the last photo before i let the red fade as much as possible
for the first change in hair colour in nearly 3 years!
Now for the last photo
of 2011, i had gotten bored of the red, im pretty sure i used a colour b4 to
strip the tones out and i went the colour of a pumpkin xD then i had my hair
dyed dark brown and had 2 strips of purple put through my hair (as you all know
i ADORE the colour purple <3)
And as you can see
around a month later the purple has completely washed out (i had pastelised it
with conditioner so no wonder) and the red is showing through the brown to make
it a 'mahogany' shade :) So this is now the last week of January 2012 :)
Now in March of 2012 i
had gotten bored of the fact it had turned reddy brown and redyed it brown
again, may have redyed it the month before but i have no photos so were going
under the assumption i NOW have brown hair by this point xD and as you can see
in the first image it was a proper brown about a medium level shade. Now in the
second photo under it you can see the
brown starting to fade again into the mahogany shade but ive re-added my purple
strips around my face (i really missed them!) and in the third photo you can
see i have redone the brown to make it darker still with those purple strips :)
Right onto April 2012,
not much to say really here but the mahogany look is coming back theres a
chance i had actually dyed my hair a mahogany shade by this point, so brown
with a touch of red, and the purple is just about holding on there! xD
Right, now this is
June 2012 and i KNOW for a fact i tried a lighter more reddy mahogany brown
here (the idea of having the best of both worlds, brunette and red head) and it
went REALLY light. like not at all like on the box xD I hated the colour so much that a few days
later i think later i redyed it a darker mahogany because i just couldnt handle
the shade. like be red red or normal mahogany dont try and be a weird
in-between xD (on myself anyways) (Image 2). Then on the third image you can see i have
redyed my hair again in the last week of the month and i decided to just go
full on brown again and well. went darker than expected less just say that xD
it IS brown i swear its not black xD
Now August 2012 as you
can see my hairs lightened from the dark almost black brown and i did try and
keep it that shade as apposed to going darker again xD
Then in October of
2012 i decided to go mahogany again xD just cant seem to give up that red
appearance xD
Heres November 2012,
still keeping the reddy brown mahogany vibe :)
Here we have December
of 2012 and the purple has made a reappearance xD
2013 Jan i kept the
purple tips but i added more brown back into my hair :) (special appearance
from my other half)
March 2013, this was
the year and month i was about to embark on my more extreme do it myself hair
adventures. a day before Birmingham comic con for my white rabbit cosplay i
wanted to add blue tips to my hair. as you can see in the first image it was quiet
patchy (never fold you tinfoil boys and girls always lather the dye up thick
and roll or scrunch!) and as you can see in the second image about a week later
i redid the blue and it is MUCH better and i think it looks REALLY good
especially with the brown hair :)
April 2013 i just kept
the blue and experimented with brands to see what would last longer and better
:)
In may 2013 i was
getting bored of redying my hair almost as often as i washed it (the blue
anyways) so i left it to wash out and luckily for me it DID wash out back to
blonde and now i have this LOVELY ombre effect to the ends of my hair :)
June 2013 i had a full
on new hair style a sideways full fringe and i thought id redye my hair and
blue for the occasion (i was going on a night out the morning i had all this
done).
Right going swifty
into August of 2013 as you can see the fringe has grown out ALOT have to say
probably my favourite hair style ive ever had but not quiet sure i could pull
it off nowadays haha xD as you can see the blue is almost all washed out its
very murky bluey greeny tinged in this photo :)
Right the next image
is in September 2013, right at the start of the month and this is my favorite
image of me of all time when all my hairs grown back out to natural and long
and i get fed up of having the natural light brown this is the next plan
100000%!!!!!!!
Now, at the end of the
month (September 2013) i had EGX my first gaming convention and i wanted to
cosplay as spyro so i did what any normal person would, i went to the
hairdresser had her lighten my hair and dye it purple the day before the
convention xD So this is the first time i went purple :)
October 2013 i redid
the purple in my hair for my moms wedding and it looks lighter than when i
originally had it done the month before :)
November 2013 i tried
to let it wash out completely to see the shade it would go and it went this
really lovely purply silver shade. no stupid blue in sight!
And in December more
fade and its turning a more grey/silver purple now :)
Right! Now were into
2014! This is the first hair photo of January and as you can see its turning a
weird browny silvery purple in which i didnt like, lets be honest here its
pretty rank xD didnt quiet go the silver lilac i wanted!
Later in the month of
january i tried colour b4ing my purple which didnt do a fat lot to it so i just
put the light brown straight over the top and this was the result :) sadly the
brown reacted weirdly with the dye and left pale greeny patches on the back of
my head so i put another of the same shade on top and it went a darker brown
which broke my heart as was loving the light brown! You can see this in the
second photo :)
Feb 2014 i had a side
fringe cut back in and dyed my hair a darker brown again!
Now in May 2014 my
hair had washed out and lightened to a really nice medium brown shade as seen
in the first image :) but as you can see in the second image didnt last long xD
i had been a medium brown for around 2 months and missed my full side fringe :)
sadly this time the hair dresser cut it into a curved full fringe so it didnt
look as amazing as the last one, just more kawaii than anything xD and i had it relightened and turned purple
again which you cant see very well at all but i hated the fringe so much i took
very few photos xD :)
June 2014 my colour had faded a little since my initial appointment but had only lightened which i was happy about :) and in the 2 images afterwards you can see how the purple faded over
the next couple of weeks! They used a plum purple this time instead of a
standard purple like they originally used!
July 2014 started off
with the rank faded hair colour xD and here myself and my friend are meeting
with nice peter in the first image after seeing him in England for the first
time! And i got on stage and rap battled with him xD
Now near the end of
July i was going to comic con in Manchester for the first time and i just
wanted rid of the crappy plum rubbish they gave me, plus i hate the blue fade
if i wanted blue hair i would have dyed my hair blue xD so my friend abi bleach
bathed it about 2/3 times and this was the result :)
Now at the start of
august 2014 i got sick of the weird 2 tone very quickly so i bleach bathed and
bleached my hair again and finally got it back to a blonde! i also used toner
in it as well and as you can see it is fried to utter fuck! never do that kids!
never! Damn i look sickly in the second image!
Now in September of
2014 i had decided for the gaming convention at the end of the month i wanted
to cosplay as a character that had purple hair which would mean i could use the
PROPER purple shade id wanted to get back so desperately which in my mind still
turned a lilac silver and didnt turn blue in fading. But that was at the end of
the month and i really wanted to experiment with colour so i decided to half
purple and half blonde, accidentally had a turquoise line on my parting where
the 2 colours accidentally mixed xD and i used a blonde dye on the blonde to
make it a more natural blonde shade and ended up pearlising it in colour and so
much hair came out, that was it my hair had reached its limit and was
ridiculously damaged... But look how pretty!
Then at my convention
at the end of September i of course went the full purple :) this is when i
decided to allow my roots to grow out to grow all of my natural hair out :)
October 2014 i kept
the purple from fading and kept refreshing it bar the last week of the month :)
as i went to several events that month :) (below first is on the way to
runefest and the second is seeing gaga for the second time in concert for her
artpop ball, this is when i started letting the purple fade more, the third was
when i saw black stone cherry live and the fourth was seeing noel fielding live
also this was my halloween costume xD)
November 2014 i was
letting the purple fade for documentation on the brand, so its going a silvery
blue on the ends and lighter purple on the top.
December 2014 was at
the most faded i let the purple go as you can see it has turned very blue but
in a quiet nice and unique style i believe.
Rightio, now onto
2015! So january 2015 as you can see the fade has gotten so bad my hair basically
is now fully light blue xD god i never realised i let it get so bad xD in the
second photo as you can see i went full purple again soon after the first image
at the start of the month :)
February 2015 here are
some more fade photos of my purple xD i let it fade often as i was lazy xD
Now at the end of the
first week of feb i had booked an appointment with a hairdresser for the second
week of feb in Manchester (where i was meeting up with a friend) to lop off my
hair to around shoulder height as it was SO damaged so i decided to rid my hair
of the purple and go brown so in the first 2 images youll see my hair lightened
after one use of scott cornwall decolour stripper (heres a link to the video i
made about it --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf4CAvoOffM) there is still a
tiny bit of blue tinge on one side as i ran out of the remover, but i had long
hair! (note the third image is just to show you how long my roots had gotten
since septmeber! Thats right theyre still growing!) In the fourth image you
will see the light brown i dyed my hair to a few days after :)
AND HERE IT IS FOLKS
MY HAIR CUT SHORT AFTER A GOOD 10 YEARS GROWING IT OUT AND HAVING IT LONG AS
POSSIBLE! So second week of Feb 2015 still :) as you can see the light brown i
put in is fading out MEGA quickly its basically a light brown tinge to my
blondy hair :) look how much healthier it already looks <3 it stayed this
shade just gradually growing in length to around the first week of may as shown
in the second, third and fourth images :)
Second week of May
2015 i decided to change the colour of my light brown growing out hair to
purple again as i was missing it so much!
So by June 2015 the
purple had faded ofc to blue! Which you can see in the first image! Nearer to
the end of the month i decided that so many poeople were telling me to go back
red again over the past year if not longer i went for it and went full red
again after 4 years :)
Now July 2015 i stayed
full red till near the end of September 2015 as shown below.
In September 2015 i
decided to be creative so while i was very sick and at a gaming festival all
weekend i dyed under my fringe, framing my face and a middle section running
from ear tip to ear tip around the back of my head in black also! And it stayed
that way until the end of October when i just couldnt keep the maintenance up
for it!
So in the last week of
October 2015 i thought itd be a good idea to colour remove the black downwards
of colour which turned a light browny shade and looked very good for what it
was, i then recoloured my red and colour stripped the black from around my
fringe to make it full blonde and a small section of the underside of the back
of my hair so i could add turquoise into it! Id never had turquoise in my hair
before and thought this was going to be a good idea? Sadly i fucked the red dye
up and incredibly damaged my hair </3 So in the first image is when the
blonde and red was all redone and fresh! And in the second image is what my
hair looked like after i went to the hairdressers to get them to cut the dead
crap out a few days later. The third image is of what the layer of my hair
looked like with the turquoise in and the fourth is of the hair overall, safe
to say it didnt bloody go fully turquoise and i hated and regretted it
instantly xD
November 2015 was when
i had let my hair relax and heal a bit and then i removed the turqoiuse and
refreshed the roots on my red and blonde to make my 'fire' hair. The natural
and previously lightened hair that i had started growing out over a year ago
was just past my ears so it went from deep red on roots to ears and then below
it went light orange red. which recreated the fire look really well in my
opinion :) One of my fav colours so heres a few photos.
In December 2015 i
tried adding some orange into the length of my hair to make that change more
obvious and gradual than the general lightning at the tips effect i had
already, but sadly after having my hair cut and the hairdresser taking too much
off (you can see in image one) and the effect of the orange (image 2) i tried
putting in afterwards it just looked awful and realized that even though i can
still pull off red it has to be longer than shoulder to medium length hair for
me to pull it off.
In January 2016 i decided
to colour remover my weird red/orange hair and as you can see in the following
images i colour removed it and got all the blonde parts back id ever lightened
and the natural roots had kinda gone to a bizarre gingery look. Sadly i was
never getting the natural growth id spent over a year growing out </3
So the last week of
January 2016 i decided that after the stupid mistake of listening to what
others thought was best for me was ultimately my downfall and i was going to
have to start all over again in the quest for a full head of natural coloured
hair! So in the meantime i decided to use a blonde lightning dye (which did
nothing expect make my hair feel like shit) and then a decolour stripper to
remove as much red ginger as possible (still a little patchy now though sadly)
and image 1 is the result. I Kid you not i used 5 deep treatment hair masks
after doing the colour strip and used 5
products for when drying (natural or dryer) and my hair genuinely feels so good
after so thats 11 products i used! I still have to use the drying ones as my
length feels like shit. Cant afford to see a hairdresser till april though so
hopefully it restores its self enough that i dont need it cut off to my ears!).
I decided that if ill be growing all my natural hair back out that the super
damaged hair should be a colour im happy to be! I was going to dye it a brown
very similar to my natural colour and in hindsight i kinda wish i had, instead
i went purple again with a whole new brand of dye and i do really love the
colour i just miss being a brunette so much :) we'll see in time but for now
image 2 is of my purple hair when it was done :)
Right so just over a
week into Feb 2016 i had washed my hair at least 4/5 times normally with my
damage shampoo and conditioner and my bedhead hair mask and this is the shade
it had turned! Its a pink based purple which is why i was happy to go purple
again never going a blue based purple again in my life! So hardly any fade!
Its currently the 18th
of February 2016 as i write this and this is a picture of my hair from the
previous weekend which has now been washed a good 10 times around about. As you
can see the pink is coming out ALOT but i dont mind, interested to see where
the fade takes me :)
So guys.
That is my current up to date images i have and written info about my hair since
birth but messing with my hair since 2009! 8 years of colours that arent
normal! How crazy is that!
This blog,
i kid you not, has taken around 10-12 hours to do, i had to sort through over
6,000 loose images on my pc to get all the hairs there and then there was
finding them all putting them in order cross referencing them all with facebook
and twitter and instagram, ive never put more effort into something in such a
long time! I really hope you enjoyed it and payed attention, and that i didnt
bore you! If you have any colour, colouring, products or review queries please
leave in the comments below and lemme know which was your favourite colour and
style and what your currents are too! I LOVE hair haha I've become obsessed!
Speak soon!
