Hello there!

This week I’m back with a new article on my hair. 

It’s known a lot of changes in the past year: pixie cut, colouration...

I wanted to write about my hair because I used to not give a damn about it, and now I cherish it. This is not going to be an article focused on dying your hair. I’ve already thought about writing one, but I’m waiting because some change is coming ;)

If you’re interested, keep reading! :)

Do you remember this picture? It was in one of my previous posts. 

It basically shows you the haircut I had and never changed. Medium long blond hair. Of course, I sometimes went to the hairdresser to cut what was damaged, but at that time I didn’t even take care of it. No wonder it wouldn’t grow!

This is quite a funny story. I was having fun on Snapchat, impersonating celebrities such as Katy Perry, Lady GaGa, and then, I thought of Justin Bieber. I mean, who never made fun of his former haircut and hit song Baby?

So I tied my hair in order to look as if I had approximately the same look:

Which looked like this:

(I did what I could, okay?)

The thing is, it seemed to me that it looked pretty real, so I decided to tell everyone I had cut my hair. And they all believed me! I couldn’t stop laughing. Me, cutting my hair? Please, that would never happen.

I was getting tons of compliments, some even telling me I looked better this way (wait, what?). I was confused because of this, but also the fact that the more I looked at the picture, the more I actually thought it fitted me. I liked the idea of having short hair. 

I told my mother about it, and she gave me 20€. She told me: ‘you decide. If you want to cut it, do it! If you don’t, just make sure you give me the money back.’

Two weeks later, I was going to my grandmother’s. When at the bus station, you need to go right. But then I thought, screw it. I went left, to the hairdresser. I showed her the above picture, and she had kind of a shock. Indeed, I usually wouldn’t let her cut half an inch, and here I was, asking her to cut eight. 

Before washing my hair, she cut most of it, the rest arriving just above my shoulders.

I was traumatized. What if I had done a mistake? Moreover, this is not even everything she cut.

But in the end, I loved it!

I cannot even begin to tell you how this haircut felt amazing. First, there’s nothing like a big change. Second, I was 100x more confident than I was before. 

I cut it again, three months later, but I didn’t really like the result, so I decided to grow it out.

I had been wanting to do it for ages: on the very last day of July, to celebrate the Weasleys because Harry’s too famous already, I died my hair a reddish brown colour, that turns ginger when it fades, the one that I have now.

I am currently testing several things to make my hair grow faster, and I think I’ll write a post about it in about two months to make sure I don’t get anything wrong.

Also, as I said at the beginning of the article, some changes are coming regarding my hair, but I’m not telling you for now. You’ll just have to wait and see! ;)

That is it for today’s article! I hope you enjoyed it :)

Let me know if you’d like an article about haircare and updates on my hair follies ;)
