When I was in Year 12 in 2008, I chopped all my hair off & bleached it blonde.

I absolutely hated it.

That's me at 18.
Sorry for the bad quality -- blame it on the LG viewty I had at the time.

Since then I vowed to grow & grow & grow my hair, and I did! My hair got its longest this year & it was great until it wasn't.

Having anxiety, I find that I find myself feeling suffocated if, for example my room is too full of clothes/things & the same goes for the length my hair. I felt as though I was being suffocated by my hair. I know it sounds crazy, but dealing with the length of my hair was making me feel so uncomfortable & anxious.

I'm a strange person, I know.

Anyways, I bought some thinning shears from eBay because trips to the hair dresser aren't on my expenditure priority list right now, and I figured... I've watched enough hair cutting videos on youtube, right?

Here's the result:

It's the shortest its been in a while!

Overall, I'm soooo happy with the length. I thinned my hair with the shears too which lifted a lot of weight off of my hair. I'm feeling less suffocated which is awesome. 

Ombré Hair Dyeing Routine.

I have had the same hair style for a while now... you know, ombré? And I'm not quite sure what else to do with it right now so I re-ombréd my hair on Monday before a night out on Oxford st & it turned out pretty well considering I've done it three times on the same spot.

I use the L'oreal Ombré kit & I did a review on it here. The moisturising formula doesn't dry out your hair so you can re apply the effect when your hair has grown out a little.

Note: I repeated my ombré routine many months after my first and second attempts. I wouldn't recommend bleaching your hair often.

Here are my results:

I'm really happy with the results, again, & if you have any suggestions with what to do with my hair next, please let me know.

L'Oréal Paris Préférence Wild Ombrés Brush-On Dip Dye | My Results.

The ombré trend has been around for a while now and I've been rocking the look since early last year. It's pretty much a signature look of mine.

I love it.

Saying this, continuously re-dying my hair at the hairdresser was actually becoming quite an expensive hobby, so I looked for some alternative methods to recreate the salon quality look.

I used the one in the middle.

I found L'Oréal Paris Préférence Wild Ombrés on EBay from a seller in the UK and I couldn't say no! It was only $14 after the currency exchange and it was exactly what I was looking for.

After using the amazing brush and the formula in the packet I was able to achieve a flawless ombré look at home. It was awesome.

I re-purchased it recently since it has been launched in Australia (finally) and I thought I'd post my results using it for a second time.

The ends of my hair have remained healthy with my deep conditioning regime even though I re-dyed my hair recently. Even my hairdresser commented on my flawless ombré and even suggested I should become a colourist for their salon.

Please keep in mind I prefer a more intense ombré look, and I kept the product on my hair for about 30-40 minutes. I love the results even though it might not be your cup of tea.

I would recommend this product to anyone who doesn't want to commit themselves to the expensive price tag of a salon ombré styling but who also want those salon results.
