The New Year Chop.

So, I decided to be spontaneous and chop off 8 inches of my hair, myself.
I quite like it.

TBT - Green Hair

As far as I'm aware, the "ThrowBackThursday" is purely an instagram thing, incase I'm wrong, please let me know.

I always enjoy looking at TBT posts, but somehow I never seem to remember "AH, its Thursday let me post an old picture", heck, off late I can't differentiate between Tuesday and Sunday.

But oddly enough, I remembered today. So hey! TBT coming your way!

When I used to have green hair. I bleached parts of my hair in August last year, and after a couple of months, I got bored, so I decided to throw some colour into it.
Purple seemed everywhere, so was red and dark blue, and ofcourse pink.
I was contemplating getting turquoise or green, and in the end went with green.
My friend got me the dye as a gift from Singapore. Its the La Riche Directions Hair Colour in Apple Green. 

I parted the bleached areas separately, shoved a whole bunch of colour on it, wrapped it up in foil, put my hair in a shower cap and slept through the night - the colour was on for about 14 hours. And Voila!  Gorgeous almost emerald green looking hair which beautifully faded out into a leafy light green. I did this twice, so I had these random strands of green for about 3 months. It fades pretty quickly, but I loved the colors it went through before I dyed it for the second time.
I know I know, the damage this does to your hair, blah blah blah, but on the bright side, my hair has grown so much that most of the bleached strands have been cut off anyway. HAH.

Also, I thought I should mention I used LUSH's R&B Hair Cream/Leave in conditioner thing on just the dyed bits, it kept my hair super smooth and it never for a second looked like it had been bleached.
I higgghhlly recommend using this if you plan on coloring your hair.
I still use it on my hair, because its basically meant for curly hair, and it sort of helps my wavy - curly hair find a good balance between bloody mess and crazy curls. (see picture above for messy curls)

I think I might dye my ends lavender next.

Remington S9951 Straightener

Hi! So today, I'm going to be showing you the latest love in my life. 

My Rimington S9951 Straightener. 

I have wavy hair, it's actually rather pretty, it looks all beachy and messy. But I do get really bored of it. After all, grass is greener on the other side right?

I have owned one straightener before, but it was a panasonic and didn't do shit for my hair.

So, after a lot of research, I decided to splurge (a graduation gift, of sorts).

I got this here, on flipkart, because it seemed to be the cheapest there.

I placed the order on the 30th of May, it was shipped on the 3rd of June, and I received it on the 6th.

I have used it everyday since I got it, and I've got to say, wow!

I can do just about anything with this. Give my hair some structure, while keeping the waves, giving it texture or just wearing it poker straight! It does it all.

For reference, it takes about 15 minutes to get it poker straight.

Isn't it wonderfully sleek? It heats upto 230 degrees C, and can be locked at the desired temperature.

Its also reasonably lightweight and comfortable to hold.

This is the before and the after, just so you can see. Natural hair vs Straight hair. I love both.
(I always ALWAYS use a heat protectant, and you should too!)

Do you think you'll give this a try?
