Ombre lovin'

i love this silly fur vest. yummmm

I got bored and melted my hair. My friends call me brave, but really I'm just crazy. I absolutely love the finished product. So simple to do. Just cover the tips with bleach, going up higher on some strands so you don't get a bad line. Some strands I went all the way up for highlights. I'm a fan of natural looking hair, and really didn't want it to be an obvious melt. More of a subtle ombre.

Just be careful with your bleach. If you don't believe me, see below...

I did color my hair myself, and it's not been done very much. Basically virgin hair. And I swear the box said 50 min. This was it at 30 min. Most frightening moment of my young adult life. I threw a hat on and went to buy dye. Half an hour later I had gotten it where i wanted it and I could breathe again. I'm such a noob. #sosilly #sorryhair #butiknowi'lldoitagain 

Needless to say, this did a number on my hair. Like I said, my hair hasn't been colored all that much and hasn't been too happy. I've taken to carrying around argon oil. It's the cure all for dry hair. Seriously, I have an argon oil testimony. Just don't apply it near the roots. It will make your hair look greasy faster, and trust me, you don't want it to get on your face. Save the Olay for that. I have super sensitive skin and most facial moisturizers sting my skin :( but Olay has got my back

I don't go anywhere without these guys

This is it with my natural curl. Sorry it is such bad quality, I wasn't about to ask my boss to take a picture of my hair ;) But so yep. I feel like it looks like grown out sunkissed hair. Makes me miss Hawaii for some reason...

Top Knot FTW!

Argon oil also does wonders for relaxing your hair so it may be styled easier, too. As you can see, my hair gets pretty excited about it's natural curl. I try to avoid heat as much as possible, so i usually let it air dry. I always apply argon oil while it's wet, some sort of spray styler or mousse, and also a heat protector if I know I'm going to use an iron. Then when it's dry, I usually add a little more oil to the ends before or after I curl. And I only ever use a curling iron on my hair. No straightener for me, not anymore. It's just too much for my poor locks to handle.

It never turns out the same way twice when I curl it. It just likes to keep me guessing. Most of the time it's semi decent. And some times I get it just where I want it

We'll see how long it lasts, but as for now I love it. Stylists are always telling you not to use a box set, and now I should know better. But I just have this complex where I think I can do anything that I want as well as anyone else can. So, well, I just do things :)
