Recyclable hair?? JK

First of all, this is the 3rd hair colour that I'm trying out and I don't think I had a post for my red hair which was my 2nd hair colour so here are some photos first.
                                                               
                                                                   Natural lighting        

     

                                                     Artificial in-my-room lighting 

 And I don't know what to call this. Special effects lighting?? Hahaha. Last taken when I went to the Artscience Musuem which was really cool!! Ermm, no post from that trip because most of the photos  were in Xy's camera which she hasn't sent me yet. T.T (reminder erhem *hinthint haha)

Here comes... *JENG JENG JENG JENG!!*

GREEN HAIR!! Like plant LOL. I half regretted this after it was done(yesterday) because I didn't expect it to be so... green . And if you know me, I'm not the kind to stand out so I really don't do bright colours. But, I'm kind of settling into this already and I'm just hoping it will fade into a darker green, like olive?? New year new me. Haha.

So that's how my hair looks like on the day itself and one day after.

Price? $168. I know all of you will go like, 'omg so expensive!' I know I know, no reminders needed. My bank account is crying T.T. But much more of my hair length was dyed this time so I guess that fact is a little self-comforting. -Desperate self-consolation- 

                                                 Initially, I wanted to go for something like this. 

 

   Or this

But it was far too expensive and wayyy out of my budget to have my hair like on the left. (Which was also why I decided to go to a hair salon since I wanted the whole hair done).

I was also a little too rash about my decision to dye green because I was counting the time left to rock the colour until graduation. So, I didn't book an appointment at the usual home salon.We can't have unnatural hair colours for the graduation ceremony.  Can you believe it?? Omg, can't they just give us some leeway when graduating since some of us can't have unnatural colours in our working life? Especially in nursing. Oh. my. gosh. So annoying! Why can't nurses do whatever with their hair. Sheesh.

So the lady recommended to do the lower part of my hair only, which was cheaper. And I told her I wanted a deep green. But life doesn't always go as we want and I ended up with that. I also wanted to curl the ends of my hair like in the photo, but dyeing already cost me that much so, sorry, no curls for my hair. T.T  Can someone just give me a hair curler right now??

Good luck to me standing out in public LOL. I now find my hair nicer if I tie it up or is it a subconscious thing to keep the hair color out of my sight?? HAHAH. This explains all my braided hair styles hahaha.

Sighs. Reason why I didn't want to dye green before was because I had a prejudice about this colour being like plants and algae what not. It's disgusting if you think of it that way, but dark green looked really nice in photos so... But it turned out like that so... #101waystofeelinsecure

Honestly, so far my friends haven't said that it's bad but maybe it's because they haven't seen it in real-life. But peoples' comments have been good so far. EXCEPT for my brother. Comments from my brother, 'Eee, so ugly, why you dye this colour.' Omgosh, his words stabbed me right in the heart. Can he be any more cruel. Geez.

Okay, I need to start loving myself and my hair more. Time for some self-acceptance and open-mindedness. PLUS REFLECTION. Note to self: just go to the home salon you usually do your hair if you want to dip-dye. No matter what. thank you very much.

Amazing how much I can type just for my hair lol.

If I look at it closely, there are streaks of green that I really like, but altogether it's just. Omg. Green Alright! I'll continue to do more updates for my hair and see how it fades!! Hopefully it'll fade to a really dark colour! *fingers crossed*

Hair updates!

Hello! So here's me squeezing in a post between schoolwork. Trust me, I have lots of undone work now. I got like too surprised when I returned to school this Monday. I wasn't exactly shocked because I knew I had all these work to complete but the memory of it was left to rot during the holiday hahaha. So, now I'm suffering. Oh well. 

I also had my hair dyed for the FIRST TIME IN MY 19 YEARS OF LIFE in mid-October, dip-dyed actually. Therefore, it's something worth blogging about. Also taking into consideration that my mother didn't allow it for those 19 years. Dyeing hair isn't cheap also okay. I have been meaning to blog about it ever since but uhhhh. Circumstances - and let's just leave it at that. It has been nearly 3 months since then. The colour has faded A LOT.:( But I can't expect too much since it was only $90 and done at a home salon. Plus, I wasn't the one paying haha.  But not totally, so here are my hair updates from then till recently!

I showed her this photo I found on google.

I asked for a dark blue, like navy blue colour because it's not so striking in school in case any lecturers are displeased because of my course. It's also my favourite colour. ^^ And I could just cut the whole chunk off before my next attachment starts if the colour is still strong by then. My hair should still be long enough to be bunned up too. So I didn't dye quite a lot.  And...

Just dyed in mid-Oct

 Well, I'll admit my phone's camera quality like decreased overtime somehow? But you can see that one side already had less colour than the other :( I didn't know if it's because she didn't do it properly or the dye or what other reason... BUT, I sat a total of 4 hours for this. Including bleaching x2 and her mixing of colours and then setting the colour. Received many compliments about the hair colour from the people around me. :D

Over the span of the next few weeks

With flash.

Just last month in mid-Dec

The colour was really not obvious so it doesn't show up easily on camera or natural light and somehow it appears purple on camera sometimes. It's even more easily concealed now since the colour faded. Just a little sad about it haha. Considering dip-dyeing again but doing it myself this time since it's already bleached. Should I?

P.s, my scalp's still a virgin okay. Haha.
