So this is me at the innoncent age of 16, a complete and utter CHAV, this is one of the rare pictures you will find of me with my actual hair colour: a mousey brown that looks like dirty dish water!
Next up is me a year later at the age of 17, Apologies for the CHAV like exterior once again but this is me with the help of some blonde highlights, it obviously wasn't blonde enough for my liking.....
This is me showing how not too do the "bleach blonde look", my friend at the time, who it must be mentioned had no hairdressing experience bleached my hair with a box dye. This look was TRAGIC for me considering the fact that the roots came through every two weeks and when my friend died my roots they would come out lighter than the rest of my hair. So I looked like I had white blonde hair on top and a yellow straw like colour underneath it was wrong on so many levels!
If you can see past the TRAGIC pouts me and Louise are busting out here, you will see my next hair colour! When I finally got bored of looking like a Barbie reject, I decided that the next colour I wanted to be was dark brown. However because of the amount of bleach I had in my hair, the hairdresser's had to strip my hair and then put on a inbetween colour which was a reddy brown it was okay but it was never a permamnent fixture.
"The accidental ginger" look as named by Louise. This colour was a result of the colour in the above picture fading very fast, at the time I didn't like the colour but its now out off all the colours I've been its my all time favourite!
So this was perhaps a bit extreme for me to go from a rather light colour to a really dark one, it took time for me and others around to get used to it believe me! At the time I really wanted to be this colour, friends tried to put me off saying it wouldnt suit me, but then I've never listened to what anyone else has said in my entire life! Looking back I think the colour in this picture is too dark for my complexion it made me look washed out.
Not much difference in the colour here, its just a bit lighter with the help of some subtle blonde highlights. I really liked the colour here, but something else was on my mind....
The colour looks a bit familiar dosen't it? Well this is me going back to my ginger roots, on purpose this time I may add! I LOVE this colour on me at the minuite, not many people die their hair this colour and thats what makes it different!

..the length of my hair, I wanted a bob and a bob is what I got! At the same time I happened to put on a load of weight, which you can see in this picture ( this is me at my heaviest). I look at this picture now and hate what I see not only had I got big, but I'd cut off all my hair, but I believe if you don't like the way you look do something about it, which is what I did.
So this is me after I'd lost my "extra baggage", I'm really proud of this picture, because you can really see the difference in terms of my personal appearance from the picture above to this one. As you can notice I'd also started to grow my bob out at this point.

My hair has finally started to noticeably grow to a decent length, but once again I got the itch to do something different....
So I decided to have the undercut, as seen on Ellie Goulding. I really had to give this some serious consideration before having it done, the undercut isn't for everyone but now I'm really glad I had it. Initially when my friend Laura shaved it, there was a moment when I thought "what the hell have I done", but its something different, I don't want to be like everyone else plus when and if I get bored of it, you can easily cover it by changing my parting ( thank god I have stupidly thick hair!)
