HELP: Hair Colour Dilemma!

Hello lovelies.

I have an open dilemma tonight and would love opinions, please :)

I've put this on my personal Facebook and so far it's about 11-3 in favour of blonde, though the people who say purple know me and my style best.

I put this on Twitter but only had 1 reply, from the lovely Laura who said 'wow you're so lucky, both colours look amazing on you. I love both! If I had to choose though the purple xx', which made me smile :)

and IRL: it's pretty much 50/50 with the office ladies hating blonde, family loving blonde - some friends saying blonde, some saying purple.

I'm so indecisive, I just don't know what to do but it's my birthday next week and I'd like to finally sort it by then.

The other issue is blonde means hairdressers, money and the risk of further ruin.

Purple/other means about £5 per box, home dying by my sister.

Blonde is also high maintenance...

Here's (quite a few) photos of my hair blonde and purple...

Please leave comments below :)

Blonde Vs Purple:

The very first purple from blonde:

My hair a month before, with some clip-in extensions that we tried the purple dye on:

Some of my blonde shades/looks that I liked:

Some of my favourite purple shades/looks:

Different shades of purple:

(Above is the current shade/s)

The current root situation:

(Photo taken at Download Festival - hair was destroyed!)

More recent photos:

My sister put some Loreal Casting Creme Gloss in 515 Chocolate Truffle on last year...it showed slightly but was no match for the purple underneath and faded within a matter of days:

and for those who question my natural colour...

Damn that little girl above with her natural bright blonde locks!

(and look at the face on my little sister, haha)

I've been many colours over the years, I lose track of all the colours. Always wanted to do a Hairstory post but trying to remember all the colours that I have been and find photos is difficult.

However, I will tell you my WORST colour choice ever...

BLACK, JET BLACK!!!

- Never again O.o

and going back to blonde from said jet black was a looooong, expensive process.

Hair colours I'd love to try:

Ariel (The Little Mermaid) red

Candy colours

Dip-dye

Ombre

Turquoise

- I planned to do something crazy for Download but again, could not decide in time :(

I loved blonde, but I loved the purple.

But then I'd quite like to try a different colour...

Though people keep complimenting my current look and saying it works quite well, at the Batiste Lace launch I was told it was 'Root Attitude'.

I definitely had more compliments since I've been purple but I just feel like changing...

Damn you, indecisive mind, damn you!

I currently have a stash of dyes and some colour removal that I have accumulated recently!

Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts on what colour I should go.

I just can't decide, way too indecisive.

Hope you are all having a good week :)

The Purple is Returning!!

I am currently sat here with my hair covered in dye, in between having a last minute rush packing for Download tomorrow!! I can hear heavy rain outside and therefore am DREADING tomorrow! PLEASE BE SUNNY!!

So I am dying my hair again as the brown quickly faded back into a purpley-brown 'bruple' colour, as I mentioned in a previous post, and as I am going to Download tomorrow I figured I should go with my original plan to bring the purple back :)

Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL in Cyber Purple is my colour of choice again.

If I have chance I will try and post my festival survival kit before I go, but if not I shall when I am home ;-)

I am TOO excited!!

Download here we come :) :) :)

I must dash now but just wanted to do a quick post, the dye has been on my hair over half an hour...think I need to wash it out quick!

Hope you are all having a great week, despite this dull weather!

Weekend Part 1: LUSHness & Primark Haul

Hello all, I have decided to split my weekend into 2 blog posts as I feel 1 would be text and photo overload!!

Friday night I didn't do a lot, other than stay in and get Lush'd up :) I am currently making my way through a mass collection from Christmas and the January sales! I had a bath using my Cinders bath bomb, which smelt lovely, but did make the water look a bit like someone had done a wee in the bath lol!

Here's my tub containing some of my Lush collection, other bits are in gift boxes still! Box filled out and kept fresher using the polystyrene type packaging out of one of my Lush gift boxes ;) I believe these are made from potato starch to be environmentally friendly and biodegradable!

Saturday...well, how amazing was the weather Saturday??! I woke up at about 7am to the sun beaming through my window! I was all hyped up for my cousins wedding but before that I needed to head to Telford to find a nude bra to wear with my dress!!! I found one in Primark, on sale, £3, perfect!! In the space of an hour I did pretty good, few shops and a bit of a mini spree in Primark! Well, it's been a while since my last!

Here's some pics of my haul:

Primark goodies <3

A few random grabs!

How cute is this ring?! <3

Got this top to add to my Download Festival wardrobe :) It was £5 and a gorgeous colour, looks slightly different in the photo!

Nude underwear

I also got some replacement black leggings, long and cropped.

I then popped into Boots for some 'essentials': 

This is the powder I use over my foundation, and I highly recommend! Rimmel Stay Matte, I use this one, shade 005 Silky Beige, which I find works well with my fair complexion to add a little colour, without looking orange or too dark!

I have decided the purple WILL be making a return for Download :)

Same shade as previously used (before the brown, which has now faded into a brown-purple 'brurple!), Cyber Purple <3

Got a bunch of things from Bodycare too, for Download. I shall include these in my festival blog post ;)

and here's a quick one of me, sporting Natural Collection lipstick in Cranberry, which I was testing out before wearing at the wedding, love it!

Weekend Part 2 to follow...
