Ombré

I have done a brave thing today. My hair was a complete hair dye-virgin until this day, when I have finally done something out of the ordinary with my hair. I've been playing with the idea for months, as I just love the effect and think it looks beautiful. Honestly a recent re-kindled obsession with Zoella (Zoella.co.uk) was the final push.

I think ombré is lovely as it looks "done" and different, yet also appears low maintenance. Like the sun has lightened your hair or you've let your roots grow out too much!

I haven't had my hair cut in about 5 months so my split ends were absolutely horrid! Thankfully my wonderful hairdresser only took off an inch or two so it still feels nice and long! The colour is just light enough to be noticed, but dark enough to be subtle. I even think I could go lighter in the future, but one step at a time Beth. One step at a time.

I also think I've missed being blonde. I miss the time when I was young and my hair was as light as my heart. Coming out of the salon I had never felt so free. I painted my nails red,and purred lipstick on, and proceeded to prance around swishing my newly lightened locks singing "girls just wanna have fun". There's nothing that gives you a confidence boost more than a new do!

Tomorrow I'm going to walk into college with a new spring in my step, as I try and see if blondes really do have more fun?
