When I was younger, I was BLONDE, blonde as can be! As I grew older and older my hair got darker and darker. I have wondered how I would look with blonde hair again but at this age, it would be a lot different. I’ve never been the person to touch my hair. I have never had the urge and I’ve always said I want to keep it natural. As much as I have wanted to stay natural, I think it would be nice to have a change.

The past year I have been itching at the idea a little bit more. A few months ago, a girl I went to high school with posted her highlights and I loved it. I kind of fell in love and actually gave me the push to do it myself.

So just a little over a week ago, I did it… I made an appointment. I called up a salon that a former co-worker of mine always goes to and I knew the hairdresser a little so it made the push easier. I only had to wait a week for the appointment, but once I got off the phone I was nerrrrvoussss! I’ve never touched my hair… did I really want to do this? I knew I did but I was overthinking it!

The day came and I was so excited! I knew nothing of the process, how long it would take but I didn’t really care. I was there for about four hours but it honestly flew by. I took a photo before and after so I had something to compare and I also made a fun reel for Instagram.

Going in I knew that I wanted a haircut, about shoulder-length with angles and layers. Since I don’t have much knowledge on hair, I didn’t know how hard it would be to make me an all out blonde. I don’t know if it was that I couldn’t do it, or just that I shouldn’t because I have virgin hair. It might’ve been more so the fact that I didn’t know if I would’ve liked it but I can always do it the next time! Plus, the fact that he did what he did and I am still the most foil he has used on hair in awhile, says something.

My hairdresser told me to sit on it… really know that I WANT to go blonder, don’t just do it. The way I feel now, I think I’m going to jump on it, haha. Going into that day, I thought I was going to be full head blonde coming out but I am happy with what I have for now!

I got SO much love on Instagram on my new do, and I couldn’t appreciate it anymore! Thank you, thank you, thank YOU to all the kind words, comments, DMs and so on! ♡

See ya,
