Weekly Rewind #9: Dying My Hair and Frozen II!

This week was another really busy one, but I did some really exciting things. I saw Frozen II which I have been really wanting to see and I also decided to dye my hair very last minute. Lets get into it!

Frozen II

I really liked the first Frozen movie, so when I heard a second one was coming out, I knew that I was going to see it. I thought that the second movie was really good! I’m not sure which one I liked better, but in my opinion, they were equally as good. I won’t give any spoilers in this blog since the movie just came out recently, but I thought some parts of the movie were really deep and it surprised me because the movie is geared towards kids. I really liked the messages in the movie and I thought the story line was really interesting. There were also a lot of funny parts, as expected and the music was really good too. If you liked the first movie, I would absolutely recommend going to see the second one in theaters!

Dying My Hair

This week, I decided to dye my hair. I usually do something different with it at this time of year, whether it is coloring or cutting it. I have dyed my hair a few times in the past, and I have since figured out how to take care of it and what I like best.

In the past, I have dyed just the bottom of my hair blonde and I have also done blonde highlights, which is what I did the last time I dyed my hair. This time, when I got highlights, I got them a little bit lighter than I usually do and I really like it. This is what it looks like.

I really like this color because it’s not too much but it is still a noticeable change. If you are thinking of coloring your hair, here are a few tips.

Pinterest Can Be Deceiving

I love love love Pinterest! It’s a really great way to find ideas and figure out what you like. One thing to keep in mind if you are looking up hair colors on Pinterest is the person in the picture might not have the same hair as you! The picture that you see online might not look exactly the same when you do it. Also, when you look at peoples hair color on Pinterest, a lot of times, the person’s hair is curled which makes the color pop a little more. So also keep in mind that the color might not look the same when your hair is straight. When I go to the hairdresser, I always bring pictures from Pinterest for inspiration for what I want on my hair, but I always talk to my hairdresser about her opinion and we change up the picture based on what she think is best for my hair.

Shampoo, Shampoo, Shampoo

The first time I dyed my hair, I didn’t buy purple shampoo because I didn’t dye my whole head so I didn’t think that I would need it. I was wrong. My hair got really brassy looking and my hair just kind of looked dead. Since then, I have always used purple shampoo and I love it. Using purple shampoo helps keep the color in your hair and also makes your hair look really healthy. I wash my hair every other day, and use purple shampoo on my hair 1-2 times per week. I have been using the same one for years. I will link it here. I buy it at Target and it lasts a really long time because I don’t use it every time I wash my hair and I only use a little bit at a time. If you are dying your hair, even if it’s just highlights, I highly recommend using purple shampoo.

Start off Small

Dying your hair makes your hair look a lot different. So if you are not sure about it, start off small. When I first started getting my hair highlighted, my highlights were pretty dark still because I just wanted to see what it would look like. I ended up really liking it, so now I get the highlights lighter. Whatever change you make, it is going to look different, so don’t be afraid to start off small.
