Alright, so, I’ve been wanting to switch up my hair for a while now, and I finally took the plunge and got some light blonde highlights. Let me tell you, it was quite the process, but I’m so happy with how it turned out!
First, I booked an appointment at this salon a friend recommended. I walked in, feeling all excited and a little nervous. I sat down with the stylist, and we started chatting about what I wanted. I showed her some pictures I’d saved – you know, those dreamy, sun-kissed looks.
She examined my hair and my skin tone, then suggested going for a mix of honey and pearl blonde highlights to complement my features, and she thought it would make me look younger! We agreed on a plan, and she got to work. First up, she mixed the bleach. It was kind of fun watching her do her thing, mixing all those colors. Then, she carefully sectioned my hair and started applying the bleach to the strands she’d picked out.
This part took a while. I mean, really a while. She had to be super precise to make sure the highlights looked natural. Once she was done, it was time to let the bleach do its magic. I sat there, flipping through a magazine, trying not to think about the weird smell of chemicals.
After what felt like forever, it was time to rinse. She washed my hair with this special purple shampoo to tone the highlights and get rid of any brassiness. Then came a deep conditioner, which was much needed after all that bleaching.
Finally, she dried and styled my hair. And oh boy, the moment I saw the final result, I was thrilled. My hair looked so much brighter and had so much more dimension. The different shades of blonde blended perfectly with my natural color.
Here’s what I did to get these gorgeous light blonde highlights:
- Consultation: Talked to the stylist about what I wanted and got her expert opinion.
- Preparation: She mixed the bleach and carefully sectioned my hair.
- Application: She applied the bleach to the selected strands with precision.
- Waiting: Let the bleach process while I tried to distract myself.
- Rinsing and Toning: Washed out the bleach and used a toner to achieve the perfect shade.
- Conditioning: Gave my hair some much-needed love with a deep conditioner.
- Styling: Finally, she dried and styled my hair to showcase the new highlights.
Honestly, getting these highlights was so much fun. It’s like a whole new me, but not too drastic. Just a brighter, more fun version of myself. It felt good to do something different and express myself through my hair.
Maintaining the Look
Now, I’m all about keeping these highlights looking fresh. I’ve got my purple shampoo and a good conditioner, and I’m trying not to wash my hair too often. It’s a bit of work, but totally worth it to keep my hair looking this good!
