Hello Hello Pretty People ♥~

For those of you who haven't been keeping up, in my last post I updated you guys on my recent hair change ;) A bit different than how my hair use to be right? Haha Go Big, or Go Home! ;) 

Of course the photos are a bit enhanced, just so the color would show up a bit more, but the color is still nice and vibrant enough for me x) 

 Milk Tea 
One of the most interesting milk teas with fresh cream I've ever had : ) 
I'm already craving for more ^^

This will either be the last or second to the last consistent post I will make because school is just around the corner. With my very packed schedule, I feel as though I might not have enough time to blog as often. And because I didn't want to be absent with no explanation I'm letting you guys know ahead of time, just incase you were curious. Just because I wouldn't be able to blog as much I will still be on blogger, waiting to chat with everyone ♥

New Year, New Hair ;)

By request and great feed back from you guys, I asked in a previous post, which would you prefer, longer or shorter posts? Let me know which style you rather see. For now, lets start off with a long post. Be warned this is very photo heavy ;) Lets Begin! ^^ 

What better way to start the new year then to start off with a fresh new look. Since I haven't had an actual haircut in ~1-2 years, I figured it was time ;) I decided to cut quite a bit of length. I've had long hair for such a long time there was a lot of dead, split ends, so you know what that means, chop-chop-chop :) . 

Before 





As you can see the ends are much lighter than my natural hair color, so that added to the damage. My hair was quite long. It hit right above the bum area ;) Next stop the salon ^^ It's now or never ~

After








The ends are piecey and I love it ! Any color you see at the ends are from previous coloring. As you can see length was definitely taken off, I'd say ~9-11 inches o.O I know, big step  ;)
A week later it's time to color!







I was going back and forth with the color I wanted. I've always wanted purple/burgundy hair, but it's an ordeal to maintain. Then I thought about a dark/medium chocolate brown maybe more on the ashier side, which I've also always wanted, but because my hair is natural dark brown I was afraid it wouldn't show unless I was under sunlight. So I talked to my stylist and you know what, I said "Let's do it!" So now I have burgundy mixed with more violet under tones to make it vibrant ^~^ I feel it's a bit more vibrant in person, but I tried my best to show the intensity. Because the color near the ends were previously colored a lighter shade, the colors pop towards the ends and it gives the appearance of lowlights creating depth to my hair. That's why some pieces might brighter than the rest. Let me know if you would like an update on the maintenance, if the vibrancy keeps and color fading. Hair is a bit poofier because while I was in the salons, they both straightened my hair while styling. I don't usually straighten my hair at all, but I'm liking the smooth and neat look it gives me n____n 

I love the new look, it makes shower time so much easier and drying time is made simple as well ^^ Yes I'll admit I miss having long hair, seeing all the gorgeous beauties out there with their long hair blowing in the wind or their cute hair styles, but its time for a change and time to move forward :) Keep in mind, hair grows back and don't be afraid to push outside your comfort zone ^^ 

I'll be going back to school soon, so the random blogging will start =/ I hope you all are doing well and for those of you who are going back or have already started school good luck on your studies and lets get through this together ^^
