Bodacious & Curvaceous

Natural Hair Color

This past year I tried nearly half a dozen hair colors, lengths and styles. I went through a lot of changes in my life. I ended a bad relationship, moved out on my own, and started university full-time. Basically, for the first time in my life, I became 100% independent. I guess you can say I tested out my freedom through my hair! From what my girlfriends tell me, alot of women change their hair after a significant life change.

Natural Hair color with Blonde Highlights

My first change was to highlight my hair. I went for a medium blonde shade. I went to Top Cuts and they used a cap. They stripped the hair color out first though. Below is the same cut but just a different view. What do you think?

Highlights

One thing I can say about highlights is that they look great in the summer time! I really felt the summer spirit.

Purple Brown Hair

Then I decided I wanted a significant change. I wanted PURPLE-ISH brown hair. Instead of purple brown hair, I got pretty much almost black hair with very few purple tones (they washed out within a month).

Almost Natural Looking Hair Color

In this picture, I have a side-ways poof with a few curls. I purchased one of those style rods that you simply wrap your hair around versus clamping and rolling. It came from the venders in Eaton Centre. I’ll have to write a review about that at some point.

Super Short Hair Cut

And then in December I decided to REALLY cut my hair short. It took some time to figure out how to style it. I wanted a more daring-fashionable style. Instead, I ended up with a very “mom cut”…something, I was trying to avoid.

New Years Eve

I must say just alittle bit of moisture can KILL a short hair style. I also found it almost impossible to keep my hair big and puffy as I wanted it. The backcombing and teasing simply would not hold.

January - My Birthday

When my hair started to grow, I didn’t know what to do with it. It was too short for most hair clips. I can’t wear headbands without getting headaches. So I just kept it simple and blow-dryed my hair.

Short Hair with Volume

Now, I mostly roll my hair in the mornings to give it lots of volume. My current style is mature and sophisticate. I’m planning on growing my hair out. Perhaps I’m wrong, but I think longer hair is more feminine and youthful. Most likely, I’ll be wearing short hair when I get older. Finding the right hair style can be difficult when there are endless possibilities. Maybe I will continue changing it up!
