Dyeing My Hair Totally Blonde for the First Time

The first time I dyed my hair was in 2012.

I have naturally dark brown hair and decided to try out the oh-so-popular ombré effect that has transformed from a quick DIY fad to a long-term trend seen on  glamorous celebs and street style kids alike.

The first effect was very dramatic with little gradation and I have now embraced a more sophisticated and subtle ombré with warmer tones and blonder shades.

The inspiration? Some combination of Lauren Conrad circa seasons 2-4 of The Hills,  a touch of wow I wish I were Blake Lively right now and a smidge of Lana Del Rey.

The finished product? All kinds of awesome.

  3. Looks great. I always love to play with my hair be it color or cut. It'll always grow back, right?
