I tend to be very indecisive with my hair, and I do change it quite frequently. I like seem to get a bit bored and want a complete change, but there seems to be a pattern emerging around Autumn time when I start to crave the darker shades. Now I really don't like my hair too dark, but I wanted something quite close to my natural colour this time, after having Ombre (Dip Dyed) twice before, it was dip dye that won my vote yet again!
This time however, I decided darker shade wouldn't be as dark as the previous times I've done it, and overall I really love it at the moment. I enjoyed my blonde summer hair, but caring for 'all over' bleached hair and having the roots re-highlighted regularly tends to be quite a mission and can get quite expensive. Everyone knows that roots are a massive pain in the backside.
After matching my newly brown natural hair to the brown on the dip-dyed extensions, I just had to slightly lighten the ends of my natural hair, so that all the hair went into blonde at the same point. To do this I used the Jerome Russell B Blonde Hair Lightener Kit, and scrunched the mixture into the ends, leaving it for 30 minutes.
Overall this was very long-winded, I know. But I am really pleased with the finished look! It is much warmer and compliments my ultra dark brown eyes, so they look slightly more brown rather than black. I also feel more confident without any fake tan as I don't seem to look as washed out, I think that the slightly paler skin adds to the look.
