Okay the title has honestly nothing to do with my topic of discussion, but I always makes jokes to “add a little bit of spice” whenever I want to make something better. So this week on my Bucket list I will be writing about is dying my hair! I have been wanting to dye my hair so badly for the past half year and I just never got around to it! I got highlights beginning of Sophomore year, and I loved it, but I wanted something different now. I wanted to get a balayage, and so I did!
Over the winter break I decided to figure out exactly what I wanted to do with my hair and I was back and forth a few times with going full blond or just getting a balayage. If you don’t know what a balayage is it is basically an ombre form of highlights if that makes sense. There is different color streaks in your hair and the end basically fades into one color. After getting to Penn State and being up north my hair looked like it was just getting darker and darker. I used to live in Florida so I would always be in the sun, at the beach, pool, or outside, so my hair would naturally lighten a little. Obviously it didn’t get lighter by a tremendous amount but it would have a few natural highlights and it just looked like a dirty blond color. By the end of November my hair was literally dark brown. As more hair grew without getting a little natural lightening from the sun constantly it just looked so dark. I liked the dark, but I always wanted to go lighter. At the end of November I fully contemplated just going super dark brown, and just dying it darker for fun! I really wanted to go blonder though, so I decided I will first go blond before going dark because I felt like it’s easier to go from light to dark rather than dark to light.
I ended dying my hair balayage and I love it. My tips are completely blond and I have the faded highlights in different shades the rest of my hair. It’s funny because I will look at myself in the mirror and be like it’s not light enough and say how I am going to go full blond, and I might do that over summer, but for right now I am very happy I went lighter. When I look at pictures of me from last semester to now I’m just like what the heck. My hair was so dark, and it makes me happy that I get to enjoy being blond now, well mostly blond, my hair isn’t fully blond, but it is close enough!
If you get bored, I don’t know, experiment and dye your hair! You might end up loving it!
