But I wanted Ombre Hair!!!

Last week Sunday (Thanksgiving) after ogling over ombre hair for hours I made the decision to visit my local Beauty Supply Store. I knew exactly what I wanted BLOND!

One thing to know about me is that I'm usually a NOT risk taker. Basically I'm the "analyzer" of my friends. The one who over thinks and gives out rationale advice...*Raises hand*

So, buying a lightener was a HUGE thing. I went back and forth with myself for hours after buying the dye. My biggest fear was what if It came out hideous!!
As usual my BF assured me that everything would be ok. I'm not sure if he really agreed or was just being comforting! LOL
My goal was the copper not the super bleached ends. 
I felt like that would look best on my skin tone.

BEFORE:

AFTER:
Its crazy how a little copper can look so great!
 Different lighting

I kept the bleach in for 45 mins. 
I really should have keep it in longer but I was scared LOL

Next time I'll go MUCH lighter :D

  3. Finally someone explained to me what ombre hair is, i've been doing this for years but have always called it something different. I'm also a wigmaker, chack out my Blog to see my latest custom lace front.

  4. I think if and when I get a weave, I'll ombre it. I really like the look but I'm not taking the chance with my natural hair.

  7. Its looks so lovely!

    Youve inspired me to take the plunge, as all the tutorials i saw on the blogospere were of girls with naturally brown hair, I really wanted to see how it would turn out on dark hair before I tried it on my naturally black hair,
    so thankyou!!

  10. Congrats! It looks gorgeous on you!

    I understand THE FEAR. I am about to bleach my whole head and then do a Manic Panic dye job. I have such "mom" hair--at 41, my hair is more salt than pepper and just....meh.

    So, inspired by Katy Perry at the VMA's I have pink & purple hair dye to use after I bleach. If I can just get up the c-c-c-c-courage lol. And actually it will be my husband doing it--he helped our daughter dye the ends of her hair purple for homecoming LOL.

    *Applause* I feel braver now!

  11. So great! I tried the ombre look once but almost went crazy with the dark roots. I think this looks great on you. Would love to see even more copper on the ends.

  13. You must be very brave if you just picked up a dye and decided to experiment, I've had some bad experiences doing that LOL so I've stuck with the exact same colour for quite a few years now. Love how it turned out tho, it's def much lighter considering the original colour. I think it suits you much better!! xx
