Silver hair **Updated**

Good evening all and hope everyone is having an awesome week so far. Only a couple more days and the weekend is here again. I can't wait. Tomorrow I am going back to the salon again to keep working on my silver hair. I have been trying to go silver since I made the choice to try the color. I have been all kinds of fun and different colors from purple, blue, red, pink, turquoise and now the metallic family. I currently have metallic pink. Lavender, blue and silver in my hair. I started with mostly silver which wouldn't stay. To get the hair silver it has to be white, you can not have any darker or yellow tones it must be white and it was so damaging to the hair after all I have done over the years I lost some length and still haven't had a successful stick on the silver end. That first time when it was mostly silver I had purple in it the purple stuck but within a few weeks the silver had faded from my hair being striped so much and having no color it was just dropping that color any time it got wet or styled. 

My hair colors over the last two months. Before this I spent two months removing a red ombre from pinkish red, red to violet dark red almost burgundy tone. Very angry I didn't do the silver when I wanted, last summer I removed my blue ombre to go silver but had to have a peach orange to counter the blue that didn't want to remove, the peach orange was almost gone and I went red on a last minute whim liked the tones, felt like darker would be fun but now kicking myself. It's good it was time to trim the hair it had gotten so long it needed a fresh start. Looking forward to the silver being bold the first week. That's the best time for the color, considering going a darker silver so it will fade slower and be the silver I want maybe longer and have added some silver due to my shampoo and conditioning products I do use when I wash at home. 

I loved my second colors with the link, purple and blue metallics that have a really pretty almost pastel tone to them. I had the grey again for my main color and the fun colors as low lights sort of. Now I'm back to having some blonde, not as much as the first time but have some. My main focus is my roots, I was attempting to go ombre and have the balyage look but I don't like the contrast of my blonde roots with the silver hair. Considered doing the darker grey roots but then would have to lift more and I am trying to stay away from removing color or lifting(bleaching) the hair. 

I will update this with some photos and my after pics from my appointment I have tomorrow. Excited to have her lighten and match my roots using silver. I also love the Fusio dose condition treatment she uses from Keratesse next to Olaplex it's the best. Olaplex is still my favorite and probably the only reason I have the hair I have and it's healthy. Having an amazing and talented stylists who cares not just about how it looks but the integrity of your hair and maintaining a healthy head of hair in the end. Excited and will post pics tomorrow. 

Hey there and happy almost Friday, it's only 9 minutes until friday and I'm excited. Looking forward to a beach weekend and some retail summer shopping therapy. As promised got my hair done today and not only colored it but my stylist did an amazing angled bob. The underneath of my hair was the most damaged from my last color transformation from red ombre to now silver and metallic colors. It only made sense to leave the back short and take off any length I tried to hold onto with a thin top layer that looked okay except after a few days of not washing then it looked off, anyways have her bob that in the back then leave the front long but with an angled cut. She texturized my cut and added some shape to the area around my face as well. I love my hair and it is getting healthier every trip to the salon thanks to my stylist, Kenra dyes, Olaplex and Fusio Dose by Keratesse. 

We finally lifted my horrible roots that didn't want to take the dark grey even and we didn't want to lift right away and have the overlapping to damaged areas touch and cause worse breakage on the top, which thus far has remained in good shape. My amazing stylist coated the already lightened pieces with some conditioning mask and Olaplex, then she painted on the bleach to the roots only on the crown of my head, very front and sides in front. The middle and underneath is staying for now since it's the damaged area underneath I am trying to rebuild the most. I miss my length I won't lie, but it is refreshing to have a cute and short hair style. I loved the longer angled bobs similar to mine a few years back but my hair was long and refused to cut it. Now that over bleaching and coloring one area has left its mark it is time to leave that hair alone and let it grow it. This cut is fun and stylish. Looking forward to braiding the linger front parts. 

Blonde, red and burgundy Pravana Ombre hair

Friday I have an appointment to do my hair and considering changing my color already. I don't know if I will do it this appointment or just start the process because I have longer over processed hair from dying it different colors, stripping, bleaching to remove color and then heat styling, I like to take my time lightening it. We use Olaplex every color or process then my dye is all Pravana. 

I currently have my natural blonde shade with some highlights then it melts down from a light reddish pink, to red then burgundy. My stylist created the burgundy shade using Pravana purple and wild orchid. She paints the color on then blends the top red to the bottom burgundy with the brush. Since my hair was a rose gold orange shade before coloring she didn't strip the color she hair applied it right on top since the red is darker and doesn't need to be on a white or light base. She uses Olaplex when she bleached or lightened my hair then during the color, after the color and I use it at home a week after my color. 

I use a conditioning cleanser similar to wen products by Matrix Biolage. I only wash my hair once a week unless needed.  I  get deep conditioning treatments once a month, use the Redken Frizz Dismiss deep conditioner at home, and leave in smoothing serum. I love Miracle 10 spray leave in conditioner and use a serum for heat styling by Redken. My flat iron is by Hai elite and I love it, I use a curling wand I found at Walmart with different attachment ends by Remington. I have a wonderful blow drier because it does matter what styling tools you use when drying, flat ironing and curling your hair. My blow dryer is made by Solano and is the turbo ultra lite. For brushing and detangling I use the wet brush, a wide tooth plastic comb, and my round styling brushes for blow drying, I use several,  I have a large ceramic based, medium ion barrel and smaller conair brand. 

Some older colors I have had, if you go back in my blog posts you will see photos along with on my Pinterest and Instagram pages of all the colors I have been the last 5-7 years. I have been so many colors and styles over the years, I love to take photos to look back it is fun to see all the looks and colors.  One of my favorites was back 15 years ago when I did platinum blonde with black high and lowlights with black underneath. It became very popular a few years later so I went a reddish brown and cool blonde then started with the fun colors I loved as a teen.  My first crazy color was at 15 when I used koolaid to dye my ends purple.  I have always had a love for fun hair colors and funky styles.  I am a daring and creative person at heart which you can see in my hair color since I don't really wear makeup.  

Camouflage tank is from Walmart.

My prescription lenses are framed by Burberry.

For photos I only penciled in some color to my eyebrows and added some lipstick so I didn't look washed out, not wearing any other makeup.  

I will post photos after Friday but for now just wanted to share my red since I haven't had many photos of it since I colored it and being unsure if I will have it much longer wanted to document it. Have a great end of the week and look forward to sharing more fashion posts and some designer features coming soon. Have my shoot this weekend and lots of amazing styles to feature. Xoxo
