Brunette Bombshell

Having spent the last decade as a blonde, this year I decided that it was finally time to rejoin the dark side. Personally I think I look a lot prettier as a blonde & I loved being able to use pinks, purples or silvers to change it up whenever I got a bit bored. But when your hair is naturally as dark as mine, there are so many downsides to being platinum blonde. I hated the upkeep as my hair would only look good for a matter of weeks before I needed my roots done again. Sitting in a hairdresser's chair for over five hours was beyond annoying. Olaplex wasn't a thing when I first started getting my hair bleached so I've had to put up with ridiculous amounts of damage, breakage & chemical burns. My hair would never grow past a certain length because the ends would always look like straw & require cutting. Not to mention constantly staining the bathtub purple with toning shampoos! Basically it was a lot of work & although I did love the look, I've gotten to the point in my life where it became way too much effort. I wanted something super low maintenance that would cut my hairdresser trips down to the bare minimum.

That's how I ended up with this delicious dark chocolate melt! I went to Niché Salon in Huddersfield where Michelle gave me a rich all over colour with some free hand ombré for perfect subtle tones. It's a lot darker & warmer than my natural colour but I love it. I've had to change up my makeup a bit & go HAM on the bronzer most days because I can look a bit too goth without that warmth in my face. I think I need to get some new brow products though because ABH Medium Brown is a little too light & ashy for my current hair colour. Michelle also cut my hair into a blunt lob with some shorter pieces at the front to frame my face. I wanted more of a Bardot fringe but maybe I'll save that for next time. At least she cut off most of the blonde so my hair feels really thick & healthy for the first time in years. Anyway I'm really happy with my new low maintenance hairdo. I'm sure some people won't recognise me as I almost look like an entirely different person! Maybe that's a good thing?



Of course, new hair requires new haircare! I always used purple shampoos & deep conditioning masks to maintain my blonde locks but brunette hair comes with a completely new set of challenges. As my hair is no longer dried out from all the bleach I have to wash it a lot more often to avoid looking like a grease bomb. But washing your hair all the time can mean that your colour fades a lot faster. There's still a little bit of blonde towards the ends so I don't want it the brown to fade & look brassy. There are quite a few products marketed specifically towards brunettes out there but a lot of them have really bad reviews. I spotted these Josh Wood Colour products in Boots & having checked the reviews on their website, they seemed like the best option. I decided to pick up the Renewing Shampoo & Conditioner For Brunette Hair Prone To Frizz (£10 each). They also do a shampoo & conditioner for fine brunette hair. I went for the frizzy one because my hair is feeling a lot thicker these days. I also like my hair to look really sleek & polished.

The Renewing Shampoo & Conditioner have been specially formulated with shade-specific ingredients to leave your brunette hair feeling clean, radiant & lustrous. They are suitable for all brunette shades because they're not colour depositing products. This means that they won't make your hair any darker but they will keep your colour looking fresh. They also won't stain your bathtub! The products contain advanced UV filters to prevent fade as well as saffron & turmeric to keep your hair looking glossy & vibrant. They have a slight herbal scent which won't be to some people's taste but I quite like it. I really love these products because they make my hair feel so clean & impart such a beautiful shine. They keep my hair feeling velvety soft & have definitely helped to lock in the colour. You get a professional finish at home & that's exactly what I wanted!

Irresistible Me Hair Extensions

I've mentioned several times now that the top layer of my hair broke off last year & it's taken this long to grow it out to chin length. My hair looked like a complete mess & it was really getting me down. I started looking into wigs & hair extensions as a way of enhancing my hair. I wanted something that could blend in the top layers with the rest of my hair & thicken up the straggly ends. Just as I was doing this Irresistible Me got in touch & offered me the chance to try out some of their hair extensions. Their timing could not have been any better! After looking through their different ranges I ordered the Royal Remy Clip-In Extensions in Royal Platinum Blonde. Royal Remy is their premium line of clip-in hair extensions. They use 100% human Indian Remy hair that has been specially treated to add extra silkiness & durability. These extensions are very easy to blend with your own hair and can be styled, cut, coloured & curled for an ultra glamourous look. Compared to their other extensions, the Royal Remy hair will last longer & look more voluminous. They are the closest match you can find to completely unprocessed hair.

As I was looking to add extra thickness to my hair rather than tons of length I decided to go for the 14" hair extensions. I've struggled to find anything shorter than 18" in the past so I was really excited to see that Irresistible Me offer such a wide range of lengths (14"-24"). I was unsure which weight to go for but they advised me that 140g would be best for adding volume with the 14" extensions. In the 140g set you get 8 pieces: one with 4 clips, three with 3 clips, two with 2 clips & two with 1 clip.

Irresistible Me are based in New York but delivery to the UK was lightning fast via FedEx with no customs fees. The hair comes packaged in a foil bag with one of the pieces separate from the rest. This allows you to get a better look at the shade & length without opening the full set. If you decide that they aren't right for you, simply leave the protective seals intact and you can return them for an exchange or a full refund. When I opened up the package I knew that they wouldn't be the right colour for me but that could soon be corrected. The quality was impeccable. They felt really soft & thick so I couldn't wait to put them in my hair!




Royal Platinum Blonde is the lightest shade that Irresistible Me do but it was far too dark & warm for my hair. I didn't want to ruin the beautiful quality of the extensions with bleach so there was no way that I could get them to match my previous shade of blonde. I tried toning them with purple shampoo but they still didn't match my own hair whatsoever. I decided that this was a great opportunity to go back to grey hair instead. I used Pravana ChromaSilk Vivids in Silver diluted with white conditioner to dye both my hair & the extensions. I'd never used this particular dye before & I'd never tried to colour hair extensions before so this was a very new process to me. I watched one of Irresistible Me's YouTube videos on how to dye hair extensions & this made things a lot clearer.

I placed long pieces of cling film in my bathtub & used a tint brush to cover both sides of the extensions with the silver dye. Then I could wrap up each weft & leave them to process with minimal mess. The first time I dyed them I left them for 2 hours so they could really soak up the colour. They looked a bit patchy afterwards so I dried them off & dyed them again when I did my own hair. This time I left them for about an hour & the second dye application made the colour look a lot more even. I actually ran out of dye so I need to buy another tube to redo the quad weft as there are still some yellowy strands in it! Overall I'm very happy with the colour now & they match my hair perfectly. My one complaint about Irresistible Me & hair extension brands in general is that not many of them do a light enough blonde shade. It would be so much easier to match my usual blonde hair or to dye the extensions pastel colours if they would just make some lighter wefts.






So here is how my hair looks before & after putting in the Irresistible Me extensions. They look absolutely incredible, I love them so much! The quality is phenomenal & they still feel silky soft even after I dyed them. The hair is so thick & luxurious from top to bottom which provides plenty of body. The only styling I did was to lightly straighten them as I wanted them to be textured without looking too perfect. The 14" wefts look a lot longer than I was expecting but for me the length is perfect. This is how long I wish my real hair could be. I don't know how anyone can manage with 24" hair extensions as I definitely feel very mermaid-like just with this length. They blend in with my hair really well & if you didn't know me I don't think you would necessarily clock them as extensions.

I've worn clip-in extensions in the past but they have never managed to make my hair look so full & bouncy before. These are easily the best hair extensions I've ever tried. The clips are extremely secure & I haven't noticed any shedding at all. They feel very comfortable on my scalp which is vital when choosing extensions so you can wear them for extended periods of time. As they're clipped to the healthier layers of my hair they don't put any stress on the broken top layer so they're a great way of playing about with my hair without causing further damage. I just love everything about them & I'm so thankful for Irresistible Me's utterly brilliant hair extensions!

Invisibobble Hair Ties

Invisibobble Traceless Hair Rings - £5

Ever since the top layer of my hair broke off last year I've been trying really hard to take better care of it. Despite how damaging they can be to the hair follicles, I could never give up bleach or heat. Stupid, I know but I just love having blonde hair too much! However I have invested in tons of products in order to improve the condition of my locks & reduce the chances of it all breaking off again. One of my favourite purchases is a very simple one. I changed the hair bands I use & am now a devotee of the Invisibobble. I only wash my hair once or twice a week so it spends a great deal of time up in a ponytail. This can put a lot of stress on the hair & cause breakage without you noticing. You might not think that a new hair band could make much difference to your hair but you'd be surprised!

The innovative telephone cord design is what makes the Invisibobble so special. They have many benefits including being more gentle on the hair. You can get them in loads of different colours but I went for the limited edition clear glitter version because they reminded me of jelly shoes. I'm sure everyone struggles with unsightly kinks after putting their hair up in a ponytail all day but with the Invisibobble this can be a thing of the past. They are traceless which means that they won't leave any marks in your hair. As you wrap the band around your hair, it places uneven pressure on the ponytail. This gives your hair strands more space within the ponytail & allows for the hair to be held in place without needing to tie the band too tightly. It's great being able to put my hair up to wash my face & do my makeup without ruining the style when I want to wear it down again.

Invisibobbles are also more caring to the hair as they are completely snag-free. I gave up hair ties with metal in them a long time ago but these work even better than the bands I normally use which still pull out strands of my hair & put stress on my crown. When I take one of these out, it slides out easily & doesn't pull a single hair out with it. The rings look a bit stretched out after removal but they always return to their original shape. If you often get headaches from wearing your hair up then the Invisibobble also offers respite from this. As the weight of your hair is evenly distributed through the coiled ring, it doesn't pull on individual hairs or your scalp. This reduces the tension & makes the hair band comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. I always get a headache if I sleep with a hair band in but I can sleep perfectly fine with an Invisibobble. They can also be worn as a bracelet so you always have one handy but this looks a bit silly in my opinion. I'm happy enough with just wearing it in my hair! I honestly think that the Invisibobble is an amazing invention & I've not had as much hair loss or breakage since I started wearing them. The difference that this small change has made is unbelievable. I only wish I'd bought some sooner!

Jerome Russell Bblonde Silver Maximum Colour Toner

Jerome Russell Bblonde Silver Maximum Colour Toner* - £4.49

A few weeks ago I made the mistake of getting my roots done on my regular hairdresser's day off. I've been going to Cutting Room Creative in Leeds for the last five years & overall I've had really good experiences with them. Things seem to have gone downhill lately though after they shut down their city centre salon & relocated all their staff to the Chapel Allerton branch. My last visit was a complete nightmare. The colourist didn't sufficiently lift my roots before toning them. Then they had to cleanse out the toner & bleach it again before toning it again. I had asked for the same deep grey hair colour that I had back in January & I left with my hair looking more yellow than when I had arrived at the salon. So it was left up to me to tone my hair the colour that I actually wanted it to be. Luckily Jerome Russell had sent me their Bblonde Silver Maximum Colour Toner & I'm really happy with the results!

If you have pre-lightened or naturally blonde hair you can use one of Bblonde's five different toners to refresh your colour & improve the condition of your hair. I was quite tempted to try their Pink Maximum Colour Toner but as I was craving granny hair again I went with the silver one instead. I loved the look of the colour on the box & it seemed very easy to apply. The toner is ready to use straight out of the bottle plus this product doesn't contain any ammonia or peroxide so it is safe & gentle on the hair. I simply washed my hair with a clarifying shampoo, sectioned my hair & applied the toner with a tint brush. You get 75ml of the dark purple liquid in each bottle & I found that it was the perfect amount for me. I have just had my hair cut to shoulder length though so if your hair is much longer than mine I would suggest getting two bottles. The toner goes on nicely & lathers up a bit so you can really massage it into your hair for an even application. Then I piled my hair on top of my head, popped a plastic cap on top & blasted the cap with my hairdryer for five minutes. Bleached hair can be very dry & porous so development time will vary depending on the condition of your hair. Bblonde recommend leaving it on anywhere between 10-30 minutes. I didn't bother to do a strand test & just went for the middle ground of twenty minutes.

The toner helps to condition the hair so you don't need to apply any extra conditioner afterwards. I rinsed my hair until the water ran clear & styled it as usual. Although the colour doesn't quite match up with the picture on the box, I still think it looks fab! The overall tone is much ashier than it was & I love the fresh silvery shade. I normally use a purple shampoo to keep my tone looking icy but they can be very drying & I have to use them every time I wash or those yellow tones start to creep in again. What I like about this toner is that it feels very conditioning & the results last much longer. It should last about eight washes before you need to top up your colour. Obviously bleaching your hair is very damaging so using a toner like this without ammonia or peroxide will make your hair look a lot healthier. The price can't be beaten either. This BBlonde toner costs less than a fiver & it's totally transformed the colour of my hair. Whether you have a full head of bleach like me or just a few highlights, this stuff can take you from brassy blonde to silver goddess in half an hour. Grey hair is so on trend right now & the Jerome Russell Bblonde silver toner is such a brilliant way to get the look at home.

The Moroccan Argan Oil Co.

Moroccan Argan Oil Spray* - £14.99

I'm not about to make the switch to all natural products anytime soon but I do have a deep appreciation for natural ingredients. When used in the right way they can be extremely potent. One of the many natural ingredients that I love is argan oil & it's something that I think everyone should include in their beauty regime. Hailing from Morocco, argan oil is extracted from the seeds of the argan tree which is sometimes known as 'the tree of life'. It is renowned for it's amazing moisturising properties. This oil has so many different uses & the effects can be seen after just a few applications. Argan oil is a dry oil & therefore absorbs very quickly whilst providing maximum hydration. One of the most important things to look for when buying argan oil is the level of purity. All too often you'll find it combined with other ingredients such as almond oil, grapeseed oil or apricot kernal oil. Whilst these carrier oils still have their merits, it's better to look for 100% pure argan oil in order to achieve the optimum results.

I've tried lots of beauty products made with argan oil but I'd never gotten my hands on the real thing before. The Moroccan Argan Oil Co. kindly sent me one of their bottles to try and my hair, skin & nails have all been reaping the benefits. Their argan oil is completely pure, cold pressed & all natural. The bottles come with either a dropper or spray nozzle. I have the spray which I find really convenient as it's easier to dispense the oil into your hands before applying the product. The spray can also get to those hard to reach areas & it's great for travelling with. I love the packaging, it really reminds me of Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair! The bottle is made from amber coloured glass to protect the oil from UV rays. The oil itself is a light golden yellow colour. Pure argan oil has a unique nutty scent that can alter from batch to batch. It's quite pleasant but soon dissipates after application.

I would imagine that most people will have already used argan oil as hair treatment. It's a very inexpensive way of adding softness & shine to your hair. I normally apply some to my wet hair before blowdrying and a little bit afterwards to smooth down any frizz. However my favourite way to use argan oil on my hair is to mix it with my conditioner to create a luxurious hair mask. This can really help to restore the condition of your hair & provides some much needed nourishment for dry, damaged locks. Argan oil is also an excellent way of keeping your nails strong & healthy. I always like to treat my cuticles to a good lashing of oil after painting my nails. Taking care of your cuticles can make all the difference to the finish of your manicure & this argan oil is working wonders on mine. I just got into using the Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil but this product absorbs so much quicker & I don't have to worry about getting grease marks on my laptop afterwards. I love using argan oil to massage my feet at the end of the day too. My feet always get really achy & my heels get very dry in the Summer when I wear sandals so this is helping to soothe the tired feeling & my cracked heels.

Argan oil is also something of a wonder product for the skin. I've mentioned my experiences with eczema many times before & I originally used pure vitamin E oil to clear it up when things were at their worst. I mainly control it through my diet but I still get the odd patch now & then. I currently have an unsightly pink flare-up on my neck & have been struggling to get rid of it. Argan oil is exceptionally rich in vitamin E & essential fatty acids so I started applying some to it every night & it's improved so much! In my experience going to the doctor with eczema problems was an utter waste of time & a nourishing oil is far more effective than any aqueous cream or bath product. You can also use argan oil on your face as either an oil cleanser or moisturiser. It makes your skin feel super soft & puts paid to any dryness. Another one of my favourite ways to use this oil is mixed with foundation. Obviously not my regular base products but in particular the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer works brilliantly with a dry face oil. It dilutes the highly pigmented colour & sheers out the product so that you can use it on your entire face without looking cakey. It's important to do this with a dry oil because a regular oil will make you look greasy as hell so this product is the ideal candidate. Those in need of a hefty dose of hydration should not be without a bottle of 100% pure argan oil in their lives & The Moroccan Argan Oil Co. website is a great place to start.

ghd White Eclipse Styler

ghd White Eclipse Styler* - £145

One of my first major beauty purchases was a pair of ghd hair straighteners. Back in the early 2000s all of my school friends were completely obsessed with them & I remember how excited I was to finally be getting some of my very own. At the time they were life changing. I used to have really frizzy brown hair & being able to sort out my messy barnet within a matter of minutes was a huge confidence booster. I've always thought that ghds were well worth the money because they just do their job so incredibly well & last for years. In fact my old ones are still going strong today! However technology has improved so much since then & ghd have certainly upped their game over the years. I was pleased as punch to receive one of their newer creations - the Eclipse styler.

This styler is a massive upgrade compared to the huge black & yellow straighteners that I used to have. First of all it looks infinitely better! This white version looks modern, sleek & stylish but the difference between the Eclipse & other hair straighteners is not merely aesthetic. The body feels cooler to the touch & the styler feels more comfortable to hold as there is aerogel insulation in the casing. ghd's patented tri-zone technology enables these straighteners to transform even the most unruly hair into soft, smooth locks. It features six quick-thinking sensors (three on each plate) to ensure that no heat is lost during styling & the temperature remains constant at 185°C. According to ghd this is the optimum temperature for styling hair & produces the longest lasting results.

Personally I tend to prefer straighteners with a temperature dial because I'm very wary of frying my hair. However these work so well that I only have to pass them through once for a perfect style. The plates are super smooth & totally snag free. They perform better than ever & heat up faster than ever. When I first turned them on I was amazed at how quickly they were ready to use. It literally only takes a couple of seconds! They even light up & make a sound to let you know that they're ready to go. We're living in the future people! They also come with a heat-resistant plate guard so they can cool down safely after use & they will automatically turn off if left unattended for 30 minutes. Not having to worry about burning your house down can only be a good thing!






I always blow dry my hair straight using a rounded brush so I hardly ever use straighteners to actually straighten my hair. Instead I use them to curl & style my hair. Fine straight hair can look a little flat so adding a few curls with your hair straighteners can really pump up the volume & make your hair look much thicker. I often use them in a zig-zag pattern to create grungy waves but those are easy to do with any old straighteners. I wanted to put the ghd Eclipse's curl creating ability to the test as this straightener supposedly provides shinier, smoother, longer lasting styles in just one stroke. Before using the styler on my hair I make sure to generously spritz through some of the ghd Heat Protect Spray*. I couldn't live without Kerastase Ciment Thermique but it's always a good idea to protect your hair further with a heat protection spray immediately before styling.

Curling your hair with a pair of ghds couldn't be simpler. Sectioning your hair will make things a little easier but as I'm growing out a weird top layer of breakage I don't really need to. Grab a small section of your hair & place the styler around it at about cheekbone level. Clamp it shut & wrap the strands all the way around it going down to the ends. After about 10 seconds release the hair & repeat with the next section. Make sure to alternate the direction of the curls to add even more movement & texture. Then just tease the curls with your fingers & voilà!




My hair doesn't hold a style very well so I normally have to use lots of hairspray to keep the curls in place. I decided to give it a miss this time though considering that the Eclipse claims to create long lasting shapes on it's own. I can honestly vouch for this as I still have some lovely ringlets going on a few days later. Most of it did drop by the next day but my hair still looked a lot more voluminous than usual. I love the texture that it can add to my hair & the soft curls have the most wonderful shine, all thanks to the Eclipse styler. I couldn't be any happier with these straighteners & they're an excellent choice whether you like your hair to be poker straight or perfectly curled. They look beautiful & work beautifully. Every girl needs a good pair of hair straighteners & if you're still clinging onto your old ones, I would highly recommend investing in the ghd Eclipse styler.

Swell Advanced Volumizing 3-Step System

Swell Advanced Volumizing 3-Step System Trial Kit* - £23.50

Products that can give oodles of life & volume to fine, flat hair are very hard to come by. My hair has always been quite fine but at least I had a lot of it. That was until I started bleaching it to death and it began to break & shed excessively. I've been trying to take care of it a lot more recently with both protein & moisture treatments and although my hair has become a lot healthier it still looked a bit flat & lifeless. Luckily I've found an amazing solution to this problem all thanks to British haircare brand Swell. Their breakthrough 3-step system is all you need for stronger, thicker, healthier looking hair. Swell's unique all-natural formula gives you full, voluminous locks from the very first wash. All three of their core products feature their special Root Nutrient Complex which nourishes the hair follicles, boosting hair growth & reducing hair loss over time. The Swell range is free from silicones, parabens, SLS & chemical build-up. Their products are also colour-safe & cruelty-free.



The first step is to wash your hair using the Advanced Volumizing Shampoo. This product deeply cleanses the hair and begins the volumising process. As well as being innovative in terms of ingredients, the application method for Swell's products might be a bit different to what you're used to. On the instructions Swell list the precise amount of product that you should be using to wash your hair. Then you're supposed to wash the roots only, avoiding the mid-lengths and ends. This stops the rest of your hair from drying out & keeps split ends at bay. The shampoo lathers really well despite the lack of SLS. It has a pleasant herbal scent & leaves my roots feeling squeaky clean. It also inhibits excess sebum production from the scalp & soothes irritation.



The next step is to apply the Advanced Volumizing Conditioner. This product continues the volumising process & leaves hair free from tangles. The conditioner has that same lovely herbal scent as the shampoo. Again you have to measure out the correct amount & leave it in your hair for a certain amount of time depending on the length of your hair. You mainly apply this product from the mid-lengths to ends but draw it through the roots with your fingers before rinsing it all out. The conditioner feels really light yet is extremely nourishing at the same time. It makes my hair feel silky soft & look super shiny all whilst adding some serious volume. This is such a wonderful conditioner & you only need a tiny amount for perfectly moisturised locks.



The real star product in this range has to be the Advanced Root Nutrient Complex. As much as I love both the shampoo & conditioner, if I could only buy one product from Swell then this would have to be it. This spray features a unique blend of eighteen active botanical extracts designed to create superior volume all day long plus essential root nourishment to promote hair growth. After towel drying your hair simply spray some of the product onto the roots & massage into the scalp. It doesn't feel sticky or oily in any way. It kinda reminds me of a souped-up version of the TRESemmé Renewal Hair & Scalp Tonic. I really love that stuff but this is even better as it provides immediate lasting volume as well as caring for your scalp. After a quick blow dry my hair is left feeling so much thicker & fuller. No other volumising spray can compare to this.

The Swell Advanced Volumizing products have completely changed my hair for the better. Not only do they make my hair look big & bouncy but the condition of it has improved a lot too. I've had hardly any breakage at all. Normally clumps of my hair come out when I wash it, now it's been reduced to just a couple of strands. Before I suffered from greasy roots & dry ends but these products have balanced out my hair beautifully. The advanced natural actives make my roots feel cleaner & lighter for longer so I can stretch out the time between washes even further. If you have fine, limp or thinning hair then I cannot recommend them enough. The only downside to these products is that they are incredibly expensive! If you were to purchase the full sized bottles of the 3-step system it would cost you a whopping £79. However I am actually considering investing in them because my hair hasn't felt this thick in years. I imagine they would last for months though. Even this little sample kit lasted for about 10 washes. I'd highly recommend buying the grab bag first as it's a brilliant introduction to the Swell range. One wash with these magical volume boosting goodies & you'll be hooked too!

Witchy Vibes

One of my favourite things about having blonde hair is that you can mess about with toners to achieve loads of different colours without committing to a long term change. After three months of dodging the hairdressers I finally had my roots done last week. For most of last year I kept getting my hair toned pink afterwards but when I saw Samantha's gorgeous silver locks on Instagram I knew it was time for a change. I've had my hair toned to a silvery white plenty of times before but this time I fancied going for a full on grey. I've seen so many people on Instagram & Tumblr with gunmetal grey hair recently but most of them are needlessly secretive about how they achieved their hair colour. My hairdresser simply used a L'Oreal Professionel Dialight toner in 9.11 Deep Ash Milkshake mixed with 6 vol. developer which gave me the exact colour I was looking for. I also had my hair cut into a long wavy bob to minimise the damage & camouflage the broken pieces.

This is the first time I've washed it since having it done & I'm really impressed with how the grey has stayed in my hair. Normally when I get it toned silver or pink it soon reverts to my regular ash blonde shade. These photos make it look quite light but the colour is a bit darker & more gunmetal in real life. I'm sure you get the gist anyway. I think I'll still have to use a purple shampoo with every wash to keep it looking like this though. I just used Touch Of Silver today which is a pretty weak toning shampoo so I think I'm gonna try the Joico Color Endure Violet Shampoo for a change. I'll let you know how I get on with it. I absolutely love how my hair looks right now! The colour is a bit odd but I actually really like it. It's different without being too crazy if you know what I mean. Plus if this is how my hair is gonna look when I'm an old woman then I'm totally fine with that!
