D.I.Y.

So for the past 20 years I have always gone to a hairdresser. But yesterday I finally took the plunge and decided to jump on the Do It Yourself brigade. I have always been a natural blonde but had the little/major help of highlights in recent years to help maintain this. Then back in October I decided to go for the Ombre look and dye the roots-to my ear area of my hair a light brown. But like everything I got bored of this look and decided I wanted to become a glorified brunette. So I popped to my local chemist and picked up a home hair dye kit. The one I chose was Garnier Nutrisse Creme in Moocha 5 Brown. (Pictured below.)

The kit included an applicator bottle of Developer Creme, a tube of nourishing Colour Creme, a bottle of nourishing conditioner, a pair of gloves and an application leaflet. I would explain how I did it but honestly the instructions are so easy to follow and the whole process was so easy. (Believe me, if a klutz like me can manage it any one can!) The only suggestion I would make is to have someone on standby like your Mom,sister,roommate whoever, just to make sure the dye is even applied on the back of your head. Other than that there is no mess,no fuss, just a gorgeous new 'do.  And now for the before and after pictures... Dun Dun Dun!!!

Here is a snap of my hair colour taking over the Christmas period.

Aaaaand here is a picture I took on my Blackberry (hence the poor quality!) yesterday.

Speaking as someone who religiously went to hair dressers and was abit skeptical about the Do It Yourself approach, I can safely say I am converted. So much so I spent part of my day checking out L'oreal Ombre colours. But all in good time..I need to come to terms with losing my blonde locks first!!

So as always I ask for opinions. Do you think the Do It Yourself approach is worth while? Or would you prefer to let your locks be looked after a professional?

Also I am very excited at the moment because although I spent too much (sorry bank balance) I bought a few items online today that I cannot wait to arrive. One being a dungaree styled playsuit from Topshop. (Oh the excitement!). So expect a post on them in the next few days. And apologies are owed for the poor picture quality in this post..Me and my digital camera are not on speaking terms at the moment as it is not doing what it's told!!!

Anyway I hope you guys enjoyed this post. More to come in the next few days.

Much Love
