Caramel Calling...

I am writing this post with Scott Cornwalls Colour B4 in my hair and hoping it will lift my colour enough to work towards a lovely caramel switch for spring/summer.

I have always wanted to do this properly but every time I have tried it it has ended up flat and boring looking... I think maybe once I have my base colour this time I may take the plunge and actually make a visit to the salon. Big money though and I really loathe spending £££ on stuff like that. I know many will disagree with me but I figure I've made enough mistakes to have learned a thing or too surely...

So this is what I'm looking at right now, a light-medium brown with caramel highlights and possibly chocolatey lowlights.. what will actually turn out is another thing altogether.

So what colour are you guys turning as the weather warms?

Obsession of The Day 10/10/10

Jennifer Aniston... style icon for millions of women all over the world..

I have lusted after her hair for many many years... in fact it's probably over a decade now!

As a teen I had "the rachel" and as a 20 something I still covert her fabulous barnet

I think right now I'm the closest I've ever been.

My hair colour is really natural, not too blonde/too brunette it's just perfectly in the middle.

I think with a tan it would look a lot more like hers but right now all pasty faced it's not really working quite the same way.

That's why she has such a tough look to emulate.

She's of Greek heritage and has a natural olive complexion and very dark hair and eyes.

She's really quite beautiful but the lighting changes from picture to picture and so it's impossible to tell what she actually looks like!

For all I know my hair now is exactly the same shade, the only reason I feel like I'm so far off the look is because... I don't look anything like her LOL

so this week I shall tan and then we'll see...

I may have a few caramel streaks put in prior to the wedding..

I haven't been to a pro hairdresser in literaly years so maybe this is the right time to take in a photo.

ANYWHO

I promised I would update with my obsession daily so here I am, I put out a monster blog post minutes earlier than this so I'm sorry I'm rambling on about nothingness again but if you've read this far you must be a really die hard fan, I love you for that!!!

Who's your hair inspiration right now?

My Hair-raising Plan...eek!

GISELE

My Hair Idol

Okay girls..

This is happening!!! I am going to attempt a DIY Gisele hair colour!!!

Am I crazy? Quite possibly but I'm gonna do it!

I'm bored of this base light blonde now, I think it washes me out :(

I've dreamed for YEARS of having my very own Gisle hair.. and this week I intend to make it a reality

so far I have purchased a tinting brush... that is all lol,

I'm going to buy 2 different shades, a dark blonde/light brown and a medium blonde, I am going to attempt to foil and hand paint my hair to recreate this look..

I am going to look up as many YT vids on foiling/lowlighting etc as possible to hopefully be a little more knowledgeable and prepared but either way it is happening so wish me luck!!!
