I had recently became obsessed with Ombré colored hair kind of like Americas newest obsession with Chevron. Like Chevron, Ombré came in style about a year ago but I figured I live in the south and that's typically how it goes. It starts in the North then eventually makes its way down here so we are always fashionable late. With that said I began hunting down ombré hair that I liked and ones that I despised. I always feel it is a good choice to show your hair dresser wht you like and then some examples of, if you do this to my hair I will kill you, just to insure she/he know where you stand. In my case I was at a salon I had only been to once before with a women who cut my bangs uncomfortable to short. My friend had complete faith her in for the ombré color so I thought what the heck. Appointment made and I was ready. Many of you have a loyal hair dresser that you only trust with color and cut. I to have one of these but she lives in another state and it was about time I found one in the current city I lived in. So for me this was a big leap of faith teusting someone to not only color hair but Ombré it without making me look white trash. I consulted my dearest set of friend with pictures and example of what do you thinks and can I pull it off. Two of my trustful friends, Kara and Amy, had a honest I don't think so reply. Amy urged that she hates this look because it looks like you need to get your roots done. I'm not fond of all her tattoos so I figured we would be even:) Kara just asks politely if I am....sure? Then proceeds to say that my hair is healthy so if it does look bad she can just die right back over. So two friends in the negative what the hell are you thinking side. My last fiend Shari to console me and tell me just what I want to hear says go for it. She too was hesitant at first but I continued to send of her pictures of hair dos so I think she just eventually caved. And it was her beloved hair dresser that I was uses so of course she was supportive in the whole she can do it don't worry kind of way.
The day was here and I was ready! I hadn't done anything to my hair as far as highlighting in years. Wen I was reunited with my husband I had blonde highlights which he informed me he hated. He was kind of an asshole not sure why I feel so head over heels for him that day. But that a whole other story. My current hair was shoulder length and drab I always referred to this plan boring brown color as mouse hair. It was lifeless there was no shine or anything to make it attractive. So a change was needed and why not something a little edgier.
I enter the salon sit in the chair and start showing her the 20 or so photos I have. Miley Cyrus' ombré was my favorite but her hair was unite a bit shorter than mine so I wasn't sure if that's what made it cute and my hair is at at that awkward not long or short length. Oh well! She said she had it and would be right back with the color. The process began. In order to to ombré you have to tease your entire head of hair. I NEVER EVER tease me hair. Just because I live in the South does not mean that I walk around with big hair like so many other girls I know. But if everyone would pick up a style/fashion magazine we would all see that big teased everyday hair is not what you should be wasting your time on.
So I have some pictures, of course, what kind of blog would this be if I didn't.
