Hello everyone, I've been lurking for about a month now- and finally decided to join up. I have been growing my hair out since January after a failed attempt to go platinum blonde. It's been a really... interesting process.
When I was fifteen my hair was to the small of my back and was this really deep cherry red, it was also curly (thanks to the help of a perm). I then decided to hack it all off (3 inches above shoulder), bleach it and dye it blue, which was cool for a bit, then I went strawberry blonde when it hid my shoulders.. then I went black. It was black for a year and in Jan. I had my sister, who is the only person I trust to touch my hair make me blonde. I pushed her to try and get it platinum but instead of that happening, on the third bleaching, I lost quite a bit of hair and my remaining hair had the texture of snot while wet. It ended up being a very buttery blonde, which was pretty, but I don't think it fit me well.
In feb, I did a very light chocolate brown on it. Still not dark enough, didn't look quite right in my opinion.
March, a darker chocolate, started to look better.
April, Black, shiny, dark, edgy... oh I missed it very much! I am content again.
Thanks to one hour deep conditioning treatments every week, and cold water washes, my hair is no longer snotty while wet, and its no longer like straw when dry. Slowly its turning into my old hair again. A fact that makes me giddy.
Even though I get the occasional Elvira reference, (I have a very milky complexion and usually have dark smoky eye makeup on.) I really think I look best this way. Also, why would I be insulted to be referred to Elvira? She was freaking awesome in the day.
Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself, share some hair horror and let you all know how much I admire your dedication to hair care. I aspire to care for my locks as well as all of you do.
My goal, is to grow my hair out to my waist, keep it black, and hopefully thicken it out again, since pre-bleaching my hair was so thick and silky from constant conditioning and deposit only color that it makes me cringe thinking about what I’ve done to it.
