Read Morehow to prepare for platinum hair
this is my first post in my hair series. i get a ton of questions about my platinum hair so i figured i would just write a few blog posts about it. let’s start from the very beginning. before bleach even touched my head. for anyone with brown-black hair who wants to get platinum hair, this is your warning – it’s not easy, it’s a long process – you will need to take care of your hair. this entire post is basically for anyone with dark hair trying to go light. if you have naturally blonde/light hair, it won’t be hard for you to go platinum at all. before i decided i wanted white hair, i did my research. when i say i did my research, i literally mean i researched the heck out of going platinum for MONTHS. i watched youtube videos, i talk to friends with blonde or platinum hair, and i read every article on the planet. seriously, i really looked into this. i knew that since i had naturally brown hair, this wasn’t something that was going to be done over night. below are a few tips to help get your hair in the right condition before bleaching. if you have color in your hair and want to go platinum, it’s extremely important that you get your hair in good condition or it will actually fall out. 1. stop washing your hair – a few weeks back, i wrote a blog post about how i am able to only wash my hair once a week. feel free to check it out. you really want to wash your hair as little as possible. this will cause the natural oils in your scalp to really hydrate and condition your hair. do this for a few months, and the health of your hair will improve tremendously. again, you want your hair to be as healthy as humanly possible before bleaching. 2. stop using heat – i can’t say this enough, you want your hair as healthy as possible. if you can, wash your hair at night and let it air dry so that it’s ready in the morning. if you can avoid curling or straightening your hair every day, that would be pretty cool too. especially if you aren’t washing your hair every day, your curls/straight hair should last a few days. 3. virgin hair is the best hair –…

i think this last week has been one of the most boring yet busy so far. the week consisted of work and cleaning and cooking and all of the boring stuff “adults” do. my hair extensions came in though! so that was cool. i toned them and cut them to blend with my hair. i’ll probably do a separate blog post on that for those who are interested. bridal shower this weekend i traveled to my hometown for one of my best friend’s bridal shower. it was so cute! i have a few photos below to share. i photographed the day for her and took like 600 photos. but it was a lot of fun! also, i highly recommend doing the custom snap chat filter that you can get for any event! where i live now is about a five hour drive away, so i’m really not looking forward to driving back. the drive can be superrrr boring. does anyone know of any really good podcasts or audio books? i feel like those would make the trip go by a lot faster. it’s always good to be home though. always. i’m traveling to ALSO – today (april 9) is my boyfriend’s birthday! yayyyy! for his birthday i bought our plane tickets to… … wait for it … BANFF!! ahhh, i’m so so so excited. the title kind of already gave away where i am going, but just pretend to be surprised. we don’t have all of the details worked out, but it’s on my bucket list, so it’ll be cool to check that off! if anyone has ever been there before, let me know the must-do’s and your recommendations for food and places to stay. kylo is instagram famous guys, i made my puppy an instagram and im so excited about it! he takes the best photos so i thought what better way to share all of them, than by creating him his own account. you can follow him here i will be more active with it, but just haven’t gotten around to editing and getting all of his photos organized. hair series im hoping to have more photos and stuff throughout this upcoming week because i know this post doesn’t have a lot to it. being busy makes blogging hard to keep up with! i am going to be doing a series on here though all about…
