Hey all,
Hows you?

Ever since I started dying my hair when I was just 11, I've had a total love-affair with my hair. I've cut it, dye it, style it every way I can. My hair has been dark brown, auburn/red (my natural colour), strawberry blond/blond, light brown, red, and not forgetting black (I went through a particularly long emo phase, okay?). It doesn't seem like very much dying, but let's remember that I'm only 15.

I remember perfectly well why I started dying my hair. Sadly, it's not a very nice reason. Like I said before, my hair is naturally red. For some reason, when I started primary school in France, everyone seemed to think that was really weird and funny. I got really bullied for it during the 4 years that I stayed at that school, and again, for the year that I stayed at the new primary school. For my first year of high school, I decided I wanted to dye my hair brown to stop the teasing. It didn't really work because the dye was too close to my natural hair colour, but that was my first experiance with hair dye. I continued to dye it on and off until the start of my third year of high school. Then, I did went super dark, like, almost black, and that's when the addiction to dying my hair set in. I had done it on a Sunday night, and when I'd gone to school the next day, seeing people's reaction when they saw my new super dark, super straight hair, was the best feeling ever. Seeing their eyes go big and jaws drop, it boosted my self-confidence no end. Obviously there was some negative feedback, but honestly, I didn't even notice them.

My Mum always says that I was born to be a hairdresser. I rarely go longer than a month between hairdressers appointements. I always enjoyed the excitement and atticipation of seeing what my hair was going to look like. It was also a bit of an adrenaline kick too. Was it going to suit me or not? Were people going to like it? Some people jump off bridges to get an adrenaline kick, I go to the hairdressers. I'm weird, I know, no need to tell me.

Then there's my hair wishlist. I still do this even though I'm in my phase where I'm trying to stick to one colour/length for once to give my hair a break. It's where I list all the hair colours and lengths and any changes I want to try out go.
