New Hair – Warm Red-Brown

This year I decided (as a celebration now all my children are at school) to try and schedule a regular haircut/colour.  Go me! For the past 12 years, 6-7 months (even up to a year) between haircuts was the usual gap.  So the plan was to be realistic, and make time for a haircut every 3 months.  Well, by the time I got to it this time, I worked out it’s been 5 months since my last hair cut. Ha! So, not quite 3 months, but I’m getting there.

Oh, it feels great to get a fresh style and a pop of colour!  My awesome hairdresser knows how I enjoy a bit of colour but struggle to get to the hairdressers regularly, so she puts in under highlights so there’s no obvious regrowth, and a Demi-permanent on the top so the fade is gradual.  Works a treat!

The colour this time is a redish brown with red & golden highlights coming through underneath.  The cut is short enough so the style is easy to manage, a sweeping fridge shapes the face and the edges are a little edgy for a bit of fun. Edges are edgy. I’m sure I can write that better. Wait. The edges are funky. There you go.

I love it all.  Now, I’m trying to work out how to style it so it looks exactly like this again…

Until next hair cut sometime in the future.

When my 5-year-old son saw me in the afternoon he told me it looked like “Rock Star Hair” so here’s my coolest look.
