I had to do a touch up….. well… I’ve had to do a touch up for weeks now… but I finally got around to it a couple weeks ago.
I searched a bunch of stores but couldn’t find the dye I used last time. So, I did what my inner cheapskate told me to… I bought the least expensive blonde dye I could find…. Colorsilk! lol
This color its no where near as strong as the dark and lovely I tried last time but it got rid of the stark black roots which was the goal.
I only applied it to my new growth and a little bit of my length. Left the bottom half of my hair alone. It’s fried enough and too blonde.
I love the ombre action
Which brings me to the gross negligence I’m guilty of as far as this hair is concerned. I’m not using heat and I’m not shampooing often…but I’m not deep conditioning or moisturizing daily like I know I need to to keep my hair in good shape.
I’d love to just cut it off, but I’m here in Florida and don’t yet have a stylist that I trust. Gunna get some recommendations. I am at the point where I think I’d rather have all natural, non-ponytail-able hair versus this weird, two textured transitioner hybrid…
I was really hoping to be able to hold out until May 11th to make it to a full year of transitioning….
Maybe I will just trim away some of the yucky ends…I haven’t cut it since September 10th.
My day to day hair is a side parted slicked back pony tail. I sometimes just wear it loosely pinned up like the picture up top. (except usually sliiiightly neater lol)
2014 was a different hair year.
I relaxed bone straight for the first time ever.
I kept my hair short for the first time ever. (but since sept 10 was my last cut I’m growing it back as of then)
I colored like crazy (well… that is not so different)
My hair plans for 2015 are:
- maintain color while keeping hair as healthy as possible
- don’t BC hair until May 11 or later
- grow hair to shoulder length (if no BC) OR collarbone length (if I do BC)
- get back to deep conditioning regularly and trying new products again
- experiment with more styles while short/transitioning
Check out what my #1 hair goal for last year was: Here.
LMAO That was a huge fail huh?! hahaaa
What are your hair goals for 2015?
My #1 hair goal is to grow my hair healthy and evenly to BSL. It is technically already there but I have varying lengths because of how it grows and the front is almost disrespectfully longer than the center…
I’ve seriously been neglecting “stalking” I mean catching up with you! I went all of last year without cutting Sybil and lawd it was hard! But I did it and now my friend that I bet with owe me drinks! #winning LOL
But I love the ombre look and just got the back hacked off so I could stop walking around with an afro mullet.
My hair goal is to try more protective styles without adding extensions.
Fake hair makes me itch. So I’m looking for styles I can wear for 3-5 days without manipulating my hair.
