Blond....

I have been blond for the last 22 years and I fancy a change.
I did go through a stage of wanting to have either dark red or bright red hair. That phase lasted about 7 or 8 years from the age of 10.
There were times when I did try to dye it red but it never looked right.
I also have gone through stages of wanting to have a golden blond colour but the two times that I tried to do that to my hair it went so wrong. Both times my hair went bright orange and both times I had to bleach the colour out of my hair.
The last time that happened was last summer and I had to bleach my hair twice to get the horrible orange colour out of my hair.
Since then my hair has been bleach blond, normally it is a lightish blond colour.
But since having bleached hair I have found that it is so hard to keep on top of because the roots show ten times more than they did when I just had a normal light blond colour in my hair.
I have noticed that when I do my roots that when I miss bits by accident they stick out like a sore thumb. The roots also seem to need doing a lot more than before and it is becoming hard to keep on top of.
I did try to put a darker blond in on top of the bleach but all it did was lighten my roots a little and the rest of the hair stayed a bleach blond colour.
I really love being this colour as I think that it looks really good on me but it's just the fact of the roots and I keep missing bits when I touch up my roots and a lot of the time I don't realize for weeks after.
I am a natural blond but not as light as I would like to be. But because of how long my hair is I think it would take years to grow my natural colour back through.
I haven't been my natural colour since I was about ten so I haven't seen myself with my hair it's natural colour for the longest time. I've only seen my roots at their natural colour and at times I let my roots grow about 4 inchs. Well I used to when I used a darker hair dye as they weren't that obvious.
Anyway so the colour I think that I am going to go is a light brown. I just want to test it out. I do go through stages of wanting really dark hair. I think brown hair with a red tint in it looks really good but I am not going to do that to my hair.
I don't know if I will suit going darker but I am going to give it a go.
I will do it with semi permanent colours even though I get a feeling they won't wash out and that they will stick to the bleach and stay in my hair. But I have two lots of blond hair dye at home so I can always put dye on over the top.
I actually need to use two boxes of hair dye because of the length of my hair. Sometimes two is just enough, if my hair keeps on growing then I will have to use three packets at a time.
In the summer I will prob go back to being a bleach blond for a couple of months because I want to be a bleach blond during the summer as it looks really good in the hot weather. I prob will keep it bleach blond for three months and then go a darker blond and it I suit and like havind light brown hair I think I will have it that colour during the autumn and winter.
I will soon see if I suit it as I plan on doing it in the next week so I will then be able to come on here and say if it looks good or not. Knowing my luck with hair dyes and all that I get this feeling that it is going to turn out horrible and look terrible and that I'm gonna want to buy some bleach to bleach the colour out.
But I do fancy the change and have done for the longest time now so I am looking forward to it. If I suit it and like it I am sure everyone I know is going to be very shocked when they see it as everyone I know has only seen me as a blond so it will be very shocking to them.
If it looks horrible then very few people will see it as I will try to rectify it as soon as I can. I won't be getting rid of it that day because it won't work as I have tried to rectify mistakes like that before with hair dyes and trying to rectify a hair dying mistake the same day never works as the hair has just been colored and a new colour wont take to the hair.
So I will either come on here and be very happy with the result or be very unhappy because it has either gone wrong or doesn't look right.
