My Hair Since 2010!

Warning: A lot of these photos will have been captured 'under the influence' :P

As my auntie is a hair stylist she had always done my hair since I was little!  However she decided to stop doing friends and family as it was getting too much for her out with her full time job as a lecturer!  I felt a new sense of freedom and went a bit crazy with it...  My hair was blonde as a child but it got darker and darker so now it is just a very boring light brown colour!

Here is a photo of me with my natural hair colour (I think!)!  Taken in London shortly after I got chickenpox - hence the marks on my face!  And no, that is not a real tattoo!

So at the end of 2010 I went to a hairdressers and got my hair dyed auburn.  I was a bit nervous about it so I went for a very natural colour to begin with.

I think this is the only photo I have (other than a few more from the wedding) of my hair this colour.  This was taken at my cousin's wedding, and I am with my other cousin Neil, his wife Melanie and their son Ethan!

The next photos I have are from a night out in March 2011, where my hair seems to be a sort of brown colour, not sure if I did this or it had just faded from the hairdressers!

Then I dyed it to this more of a dark red colour which I really liked!

Which faded to this...

So far so good!  Until for some reason around June 2011 I decided that I wanted to go blonde.... red + bleach = orange!  It doesn't actually look as bad in photos I have to say...

Because my roots were fresh undyed hair, they took on the blonde and bleached it but it took two packs of dye to get the ends lighter - they were still a lot darker than the top.  I liked to call it reverse ombré.

In the end I decided I'd need to go to a hairdressers to try and get it fixed!  I hadn't had it cut since the previous November.  She chopped probably about half of it off and tried to get the colour a bit more even...

At the time I did like it, and it did feel a lot healthier however as soon as roots started to show I hated it.  It was too much up keep and I didn't like how short it was!  I went back to that hairdresser to get my roots redone but after that I gave up.

I went back to my auntie in desperation!  I don't think I actually have any photos of it sadly.  She made it a light brown with lots of different highlights in it and it was really nice, lot more natural!  The only photo I do have is of it up at my friend's wedding in February 2012, but the roots have come through quite a lot!

I let it grow out a little bit more then dyed it with a semi-permanent colour which was pretty much my natural colour.

Don't even ask!

I was happy with this so when it faded I was going to do it again but I saw a slightly darker one and went for that - however it made my hair purple!  I don't have a decent picture of this but you can kind of see it in this one!  Bad times...

Again, it faded and that brings us up to date!  My hair is now almost back to normal except the ends are lighter and there's still traces of red and purple throughout!  Here is a recent photo from my trip to Harry Potter Studios last month:

My plan is to try and get it back to its natural colour and start with a clean slate!  I think I'd like to go slightly lighter, a sort of caramel-y colour but no doubt I'll change my mind!

What do you think, have you got any hair disaster stories?
What colour do you think I suit best??
