back to black





so, i'd been rocking ("rocking" in the loosest sense of the word) the bleach-blonde-with-dark-roots look for a long time - i didn't really have a plan, i guess, i was just trying to get it long enough that i could pay for a cut and dye in one go-round. sam, after politely asking what, exactly, was going on with my hair, said, "you're diy everything else, why can't you dye your own hair?" i've never tried before, but i guess i figured i didn't have much to lose, so i set off to walgreens and matched a box to my roots the best i could. i didn't do it myself, actually - it turns out sam is an amazing colorist, about three hundred times more careful and thorough than i ever would have been. i couldn't believe how great it turned out! right back to my original color. so i kind of got a big head and decided i could cut my own bangs, too, which is never a good idea. but it could have been worse, right?

top: old quail
skirt: forever 21
shoes: nine west
necklace: thrifted

  10. Cuuuute! I love that cropped top and skirt together. And you hair turned out great, wow! I'm going to have to learn to dye mine in the not-too-distant future since the grays are starting to pop up in my bangs, haha.

  18. I dye my own hair aaallll the time. The foam stuff is DIY friendly. About cutting your own fringe...it takes time. I used to hack my hair but now I do it better than any pro they never do it right ha!
