Misc || A Hair-Raising Tale

   Long time no see, eh readers? I have not forgotten you! Life is in full swing, and I confess that putting together blog posts isn't something I've put a lot of effort into lately. However, excuses are distasteful, so rather than making any more I shall just say that this evening I am content to be sharing a recent style adventure with you.

  A few months ago I started the process of getting my hair cut and colored, which means thinking about it for a number of weeks and finding plenty of ideas on Pinterest. ;) As you saw in my last outfit post, the cut happened, and I am quite happy with the new style. Meanwhile, the color got postponed until the first day of December. Having never dyed my locks before, this was a big step for me, a rather conservative stick-the-the-mud.

  That rainy Saturday afternoon, I bravely walked through the salon doors with my mother in tow to offer company and moral support (and a coffee run). A few hours and two attempts later (the first try failed for reasons unknown to my stylist, who surmised that my hair is stubborn, which I should have known...) I emerged with a subtle red gleam, thanks to a balayage color. The step had been taken! And I didn't look half bad! *cue victory music*

This was my best hair day since the color.

Ready for the work Christmas party!

  Now, the real adventure began at home with my attempts at dyed hair care. All of us girls know that you aren't supposed to wash your hair every day, right? but does that stop me? Ehehehe...no. The past week and a half I've been trying to use less shampoo and also less product so that my hair doesn't feel too gross from the non-daily shampoo. This has been an adjustment, but I must say that I'm delighted with my new color, so I work with it. ;)

Alright enough of story time, dear readers. I would like to hear about you. 

Drop a comment below so we can catch up a bit. :)

Have you ever had your hair colored?
Are you enjoying the Christmas season?

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
Ephesians 5:1-2
