Changes every Month

Ever since September, I have done something different to my hair thanks to my amazing hairdresser.  

She definitely has gotten me to where I finally wanted to be.  It took several months to get there and now I'm ready to do something else.  I have been out of the Navy for almost 2 years and the one thing that I have been wanting to do before I joined the Navy was to put blue, purple, or green in my hair.  

Well...my amazing hair dresser gave me a hair tip.  Due to the dye of the blue, purple or green...it fades after awhile.  It would not be worth it every month to put in my hair or even every two weeks.  She told me of a trick.  =)

I also even chatted with a Author while I was in FL last month that used to dye her hair almost every single month....and then she introduced me to hair extensions that are REAL human hair that blend in to your hair.  All you do is clip them in place.  

Here's  a pic of me in September with my girls with my dark red hair that I went with first.

Everyone loved it...but me...I wanted to do something else.  I saw a pic of my Mom when she was 17 years old with her natural strawberry blonde hair and I told my hair dresser that is what I wanted to go with next...

She was up for the challenge.

(Below) Taken with my Iphone...this was my January hair color.  We were slowly getting there.

My hair dresser dyed my hair a lighter red and put blonde highlights in it.  

Now if you are wondering what my natural high color is...I have actually forgotten what it is.  LOL  Until I saw a school picture of me when I was 7.  Look at the photo above of Alexia and that was my natural hair color as a kid.  My hair slowly became auburn when I was a teenager.  I guess my Irish roots were taking over.  

Below is from last month.  This is the color I was going for....and I LOVE it!!

I have some many compliments over it and my friends were in shock after not seeing me for awhile and asked if I went lighter with my hair.  =) I actually looked WAY different in person.

Although, I wanted something else...and I took my hair dresser's and the author I met advice.

(Below) Now here's the look I have been DYING to have since I was a teenager and without the harsh dye.

I can place these hair extensions wherever I want to get a different look every time.

I even purchased pink and I'll be back to purchase more blue....and purchase purple and green next time as well.

What's up next for this month though...it's a new month which means I get to see my hairdresser.  I'm thinking about putting a different color highlight in my hair...but I will see once I get to the salon.

I am definitely going to miss my hair dresser when I leave for Florida in June.  I will have to find another person up to my hair challenges.

Hubby wants me to grow my hair out...but for now...it's all about getting the hair color where I want it. I have always preferred shorter hair to longer hair.  Maybe that will change later on...but for now while my youngest is little and is always pulling hair...I'll keep it short.

While everyone was else was going darker red during the winter months...I was going lighter.

My Mom always taught me to not follow in everyone else's footsteps and that is exactly what I was doing this winter.

Are you ready for a new pic of me this month...well...be prepared.  I'm taking it to another level.  

Much Love,
