Purple Hair?!

On May 22nd I went into the salon to get my hair done. I was going for a light lavender.  Here is a before picture of my hair.

My stylist started bleaching my hair to lighten it so the color could catch. I don't know all the technical terms and steps, but here are some pictures of the process. 

I had heard stories of bleach burning your scalp, so I was a bit nervous. However, I didn't experience any of that. My eyes did feel as though they had been open while swimming in a pool of chlorine. At a tolerable rate.

The reveal of my bleached hair in the mirror was a bit creepy. Then the coloring process began. It was a bit longer than I expected,  but I'd do it again tomorrow. It's something you have to try at least once. If your into it of course. 

My hair didn't reach the shade I originally went in to get. However, I do love the finished color I have and every day it grows on me.

I am currently using the shampoo below. I forgot to pick up the yummy grape soda smelling shampoo from the salon. Fail. My stylist recommend this one from Sally's beauty. It work really good. Side note.. for having my hair bleached my hair still feels soft and manageable. Which I'm very pleased with.

A very special thank you to my awesome stylist who always leaves my hair looking amazing!! CorinaH
