Hi all!

I had a really positive experience at a hairdresser's yesterday.

I got a tiny trim, had some more hair cut into my fringe to make it looks fuller (soo much better!), and got my lengths dyed black instead of ginger, then I had a blow dry. The best bit is that I had it all done by a trainee. She was very nervous but SO good!

I feel like my hair looks longer, it's really weird! It feels so so much better, too.

And now for pics - sorry that there are so many, I wanted to show the length with the blow dried straight version and my natural texture as well!

ETA: Yes, I was going for an ombre effect. :laugh: If I was being a bit picky I would say that she took the black a bit too far up the lengths, but it's a demi-permanent so on the midlengths where it isn't bleached, it'll fade out to a dark brown anyways!

Before the trim and colour:

After when blow dried straight:

What do you all think? To me it looks and feels so much healthier.

First of all: you're so pretty!

ANd second: SIS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?? Now we're not twins anymore with our ombre-hair! :( ;) Just kidding haha! But this is nice! It suits you well! Although I have to admit I'm not a big fan of the ombre where it's darker in the bottom than on top? But I might be biased ;) You rock everything :D

LOL! I know. I just felt like being an individual again! Don't worry though, we still look very alike ;) Hehe, thanks for the compliments! You're looking rather pretty in your photos on your thread, too! :D

Oooh it's so pretty! I love ombre hair with something else than the usual yellow/bleached tips. You make me want to black my tips too :D

Thanks! Yeah me too. I had the bleached ends for 6 months so I was a bit fed up with them. I'm hoping that this will last me a longer amount of time, though!

It sure is different! :D I like it better than with the red at the bottom. This seems like such a great color to grow out your natural hair, if that's what you intend to do.

Yay for good experiences! :D

It does seem like you hair is long after the haircut! Your hair looks a lot healthier and thicker.

Thanks everyone! I'm on my phone so can't reply to all the posts right now. I'm planning to grow out my natural colour, yes! ^_^
