New Hair: Balayage Ombré

I wasn’t planning on doing a whole blog post about this but I’m so excited about my new hair that I had to document it.  It’s such a big deal for me because I haven’t had my hair professionally done in over 10 years.  Yes I know, it’s pure madness.  I needed a change and I desperately needed to get my self confidence back.

I used to have highlights and caramel hair and loved it.  I don’t know why but it made me feel good about myself.  Somehow I was convinced to go back to my natural color because a certain someone preferred dark hair.  So I went au natural in 2009.  I didn’t mind it however I never liked it either.  I didn’t feel like it was truly ME.  The only positive part was the low maintenance.  As I’ve said before, my hair went completely down hill when I got pregnant and got much worse after I gave birth.  My hair has been a hot mess (lol).

My hair was in desperate need of some dimension.  It needed LIFE.  I needed a change.  I needed to do something that made me feel pretty and whole again.  I know it’s only hair but it’s so much more than that for me.  I was able to do something for ME and only ME.  A color I wanted and not because someone told me to.  It’s hard to explain but I felt alive again and it feels damn good.

The end result is this gorgeous balayage ombré color and I couldn’t be happier.  If you are in the Orange County area, you need to go see Candy at Shear Bliss!  She is amazing and gave me back my confidence.  Thank you Candy! XO
