Hair Transformation

Hi there!  Today I'm going to talk about my hair transformation since I added blonde to my hair.  

To start off, my natural hair color is medium/dark brown.  When I was younger I would dye my hair a little too frequently.  I was that younger girl that always wanted to change something about their appearance.  Not because I didn't like how I looked, but because I always wanted to try new things.  New things excite me and so do changes.  Although some may not be the best changes.  The last time I dyed my hair was a couple of months before my 15 because my mom wanted me to have my original hair color for the day off.  I did as she pleased.  So for about 6 years I did not dye my hair and I let it be.  So, this picture on the above was my hair natural hair color before dying and adding a little blonde to it. (Feburary  2017).

Now in April 2017,  I was basically bored and I wanted to change something about my appearance; such as dying my hair.  I decided I wanted to go lighter and I wanted some blonde.  However, I wasn't fully committed to blonde hair because I was afraid it wasn't going to suit me.  If I recall I did Carmel balayage but not heavy just here and there if that makes sense?  The picture (above) was my new hairstyle.  I had liked my hair back then, but I felt like I needed more blonde.  

In March 2018, I decided to go full in on balayage.  The result is the picture above and I apologize I didn't have a fresh picture at the time.  Besides me wanting to add in blonde, I knew there was a process.  I've learned you cannot go full-on blonde right off the bat.  So this time around I was committed and I was in love.  I rocked my hair for about a year.  In June of 2018, I added more gray toner for my sister's quince so it would be fresh.  I felt like a whole new person.  It amazed me how much as simple as dimensions changed my appearance.  Unfortunately, that was the only touch up I did.  Although my blonde was fading  I still loved it.  

By the time I wanted to retouch my hair,  my mother didn't want me to have blonde hair for graduation.  And for some reason, I listened to her and I dyed it completely dark brown (my natural hair color) in April 2019.  The picture above is the before and after of my hair.  DO YOU SEE THE CHANGE?? Boyyyyy! Did I hate it!  I'm not kidding at the beginning I would just look at myself and just stare.  I did not like it.  It took a while to get used to my natural hair color.  Sometimes on Snapchat, I would get memories and I would miss my blonde hair.  I knew I wanted to go back to my blonde hair but I just didn't know when.  I was hoping once I had moved back to SoCal I could've dyed it, but there were different plans. Once I got engaged, I felt like I had to have my natural hair color for the wedding.  So I had planned to dye afterward, but of course, plans change.  I kept complaining to Luis telling him how much I missed it and he told me to get my hair done.  

So yes, here I am today to show you guys my new hair.  Here is the before and after picture above.  My hair was damaged af and I know you can see it too, so I made sure to get a haircut this time around.  So I'm back at it again with my blonde balayage again.  I hope to touch up here and there when it needs too.  However, don't ask me if I'm going to dye my hair back to my natural hair color for the wedding because I don't know.  I just love my hair and I feel like the balayage gives it dimensions.  I'm a happy camper and I feel like a whole new bitch (: 

Thank you for taking the time to read, enjoy the rest of your day.
