Pink Hair

I keep changing my hair. I just can’t keep one color for too long, it just bothers me.  And so I decided to go pink…. Again. XD it took a while because I wanted to bleach it slowly do I wouldn’t damage it but it came out awesome! I took Pictures of each color my hair was on the way to pink. It looks pretty cool XD

I used my favorite pink dye, “Pink Fetish” from Splat. I also bought the new Splat Ombre kit in “Rain” which comes with new pink and purple shades called "Pink Mist" and "Violet Storm".

I plan to ask if my friend Tori from school could go back and fix my roots for me because I missed a few places with the bleach so the pink didn’t take to those parts and can’t really see the back of my head so I’ll need the help. =/ but overall I am super happy with the results. I might change it up a bit when its time to touch it up. Maybe use the ombre kit to throw in some under color or a slight ombre or streaks.

I haven’t decided yet. Tori says I should just use the purple on my roots now so it covers the places I missed and it gives it an ombre effect going from purple at the roots for an inch or so and blending into the pink on the rest. I guess time will tell. Who knows? I might just do it all!

Well there is one thing for sure though, it feels good being pink again. Crazy as it sounds it actually feels natural for me. Its good to be back =)

Transformation Journey Series Launch

I Started Classes

I just realized how long it has been since I last posted anything. It has been FOREVER! I have just been so busy and with my classes starting, it had completely slipped my mind and I am so sorry x.x

In class we are supposed to work on our professional image and ad cosmetology students, this means we have to wear perfectly applied makeup, perfectly styled hair and well groomed manicured nails so I’m getting a haircut soon and a set of acrylics. I think im good on the makeup though. =)

I have quite a drive to class so I’m going to start a video segment on my YouTube account and I’ll try to post weekly. I already filmed a few times in the car but I couldn’t find a good balance of the air and music for the car ride to it came out cruddy not to mention my phone mount wasn’t tight enough and shook too much while I was filming.

Class so far has been pretty fun. Lots of book work for right now since we are still just starting out a lot of disease control and science right now. We have been working on our heads though. I have given Zoey 2 haircuts and a few styles including French braids and curls. We have even gone a scalp treatment on her and learned about relaxation massages to do while shampooing. XD

We have been taking LOTS of tests so far and I have been doing awesome on all of them I have an A for the class!!! IRSC has this awesome thing called Blackboard. It’s online and there is an app too. I’m in love with it. Our quizzes are on it, pdfs of chapter outlines and up to date grades. Its super helpful for staying on track and I can work on my tests and study anywhere I go by just using my tablet.

Speaking of my tablet, I need a new case. And since I’m replacing my case anyway, I figured I might as well look for a case with an attached keyboard so I can take better notes since my hand writing is chicken scratch.

Oh Yeah, My Hair Is Black Now

Sooooooooooo, I dyed my hair black. My roots were so dark and there was about two inches of growth. I decided I should just cover it up rather than bleach my roots to be blonde. It was at such a healthy state and I didn't want to fry my hair again so black seemed like the better option. Dark brown would have just looked muddy on me.

I like how the black looks on me. I HATE  the dye we used though. Milissa did it for me and we used L'oreal Preference Mousse Absolute color #100 Deep Black. The shtick for this particular line is that there is a special applicator that mixes the step one and step two compounds together as you dispense so when you are done, none is wasted. Than and there is even extra,

enough for two applications for those with short hair, and an application and a touch up for longer hair. yeah well that's bull. There wasn't even enough to cover all of my hair and its not even long. the parts that didn't get color ended up looking kind of like highlights but I'm probably going to go back and fix it later.

I give it 4/10.

OOTD 7/27/14

I think this outfit is super cute with the stripes and platform flip flops. I ended up painting my nails to match my shoes but of course it was after I took the pictures. I feel that the curly hair really ties the summer look together.

Beach Hair

So I tried a new product today. "Not Your Mother's" brand "Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray". And so far I am absolutely loving it. It is infused with real dead sea salt and sea kelp. The spray is easy to use, smells great, and can be used on wet or dry hair, with or without a blow dryer. My hair hasn't fallen flat all day and is still touchable soft, even with the visible piecey texture. I give it a 10/10

(Ignore my icky face and just look at my hair please)

Blue Wig

Milissa sent me selfies she took wearing my blue wig the other day. She looks fabulous and its the exact color she always wanted XD Just look at this lovely lady X3

My 4th of July, OOTD HOTD

W00t!!!! Tis be the 4th and we set little fireworks off at moms. I finally got to fire off the big and loud fireworks I have been dying to light since forever. We got the big ones for new years back in 2012 and we couldn't set them off this whole time because they are so loud and big and me and my room mates live in an apartment complex. But Mama Boots went to the dollar store and picked up a bunch of little fireworks and candy to get us through the weekend. My inner Pyro was most please XD

My outfit for the 4th started with a pair of cut offs I just made the night before because I didn't have any denim shorts to wear and lets be honest, nothing says summer or 4th of July like jean cut off shorts. They were a pair of baggyish jeans I had picked up from Goodwill a few weeks ago and I cut them to be longer than short shorts but shorter than bermuda shorts. I threw them in the wash a few times to give the ends a worn look. I layered a bright blue spaghetti strap top with a red, white and blue tiedye tank and topped it off with a super bleached vest I had made out of an old jean jacket years ago (the back says "Undercover Skittle Ninja". On my feet I wore a pair of thrifted platforms with denim denim straps. Super cute.

And as for my hair, I am wearing my bright red Ariel wig with my  blue Hatsune Miku pony tail clips. The Miku clips were a set that came with a base wig and the clips actually came curly when I ordered them. The ones I actually wanted were a bit shorter and strait with a bit of a wave at the end to the point where its just a little flip but it ended up being curly. And it was SUPER curly too. And with the curls in individual locks, it took forever to brush the curls out but I managed it. I actually worked with the clips for about 2 hours or so, just brushing and styling. I wanted to make them into buns but it just wasn't working out so i braided them and ended up loving the final outcome. and with them tied off at the top of the braid, it kind of looks like they are little buns with braids coming out so it was a bit of a win win.  =)

Hair Mask Recipe

Herro! So tonight I decided to take my hair growth routine up a notch and do a mask. Its super easy and smells yummyful X3

So start with a mixing bowl. I used my Ion Color Brilliance bowl and brush but any bowl will do and you could just use your hands but its super sticky x.x And then I poured 2 tbs of my favorite African Pride Olive Miracle Olive oil treatment. This smells super good. I cant quite place the scent but it's fruity and quite strong. Next was 2 tbs of all natural Clover Honey. If you use the same measuring spoon you used for the oil, the honey should slide right off. And finally 1/2 tsp of Coconut Oil. I just used a cheap small jar I found on discount a while back. Now mix it well and pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds, then remix to make sure it's smooth. Now you are ready to apply it to your scalp and pull it through with a comb to the ends. You want to do this quickly while the mixture is still warm because as it cools it gets thicker and stickier. Once all the mixture is in your hair, cover your head with a shower cap or plastic bag or plastic wrap to keep in the heat and cover with a towel for extra warmth.  Wait for at least 20 mins. You can leave it for as long as you like. Just don't fall asleep with it. Now rinse with lukewarm water. Not hot but not cold. Don't use conditioner unless you feel you really need it and air dry if possible but you can blow dry on low or just warm. 

Hair Growth System Update Week 2

My New Hair Growth System - Progress Report Week 1

I started my new hair growth system just under a week ago and I have definitely noticed my hair is thicker and softer and I feel its just a tiny bit longer. By only about 2, 2 1/2 mm but still an improvement for my sadly slow growing hair.

I start with a hot Olive oil treatment. I warm up about 1oz of the oil in the microwave for about 30 seconds (You want it warm but NOT HOT) and then I massage it into my scalp. After massaging for about 2 minutes I lay with my head upside down for about 5 minutes.

After the oil treatment, I take a shower and use my Mane 'n Tail shampoo and conditioners (for horses AND for humans!) I shampoo twice. (1st time to clean away any build-up, the oil, and anything else nasty in my hair. And the 2nd is to really clean my scalp.) And then I massage in the conditioner and let it sit as I do the rest of my shower routine. Then I rinse out the conditioner and before I get out, I blast my scalp with ice cold water to close my pores and seal in all the nutrients from the conditioner.

When I'm out of the shower I rewash my face and blow dry my hair till its nice and fluffy. I dont usually use other products unless I plan to curl my hair or a volume for events.

I try to wash my hair every other day but it doesnt always happen. But so far I have used this system for like I said just under a week and im loving the results. I just wish I could speed up the process a bit.
