Hello all,
Thanks for the feedback on Twitter, Facebook and in the comments here on the hair colour change. It felt like something fun to do last week and I enjoyed bringing all of you into it.
Yesterday I finally did it! And it didn’t quite go to plan. My hair took the blonde much quicker than the hairdresser expected, so it is a little ‘ashier’ than either of us intended. Eek. I have a longstanding tendency to absolutely hate my hair when I leave a hairdressers. I would much rather be in a dentist’s chair than a stylist’s chair, so I am pretty surprised that I was relatively chilled when I arrived yesterday.
I will admit that whilst I held it together last night (we were out for a friend’s birthday!), this morning I imploded.
I went on a rollercoaster of emotions – did I like it?
Did she do it right?
I hate it.
Oh it’s not that bad.
How can she call this ‘subtle’? It is DRASTIC!
Why did she cut it so short when I had just said don’t?
Aarghhh!
That was my biggest panic. The length. I spent four, long years growing it and she took it upon herself to give me a new cut to go with my new colour! The entire bottom layer of my hair was chopped, meaning that it is now almost all one block length at the back, which doesn’t really work for when my hair is curly.
However, we have made it out of the other end and you can judge for yourselves the results. I took these above pics when I got in from lunch today, hence the slightly messy look, but I guess this is how it may be day-to-day. It looks more blonde today, don’t you think?
I’ll update in a couple of weeks when I am more used to it and it has settled a little more, but I feel that this could be a fun change for summer and also, you know what? Hair grows.

It looks awesome!
I think your new haircut looks pretty and you look younger than ever to me. Actually I'm sure you would look pretty no matter what colour your hair was. I'm glad you enjoyed your time out for your friend's birthday. I, on the other hand, seem to look older every time I look in a mirror and my hair seems to be growing incredibly quickly – or maybe it's just time flying by fast. Enjoy your summer! I hope everything goes your way.
GORGEOUS!
