From natural to rainbow...and back to blonde (pic heavy)

Hey guys, I havent been on here much lately (got a new job, yo :p) but i thought Id show you the few colours I've been πŸ˜€ Plus my awkwardness in trying to get the darn rainbow out!!
So this is me as a wee 16year old, loong natural hair


Then my first taste of unnatural colour, turquoise streak at a music fest πŸ™‚

Present for my 18th - my first proper hair cut, with a purple and blue flash

Then after a year or so of that, I decided what the heck...BLUE!!This is MP Shocking Blue...a colour I loved.

Getting it out was a pain though! This is 7 weeks, dandruff shampoo and a bleaching later....

Needed it out for a job interview, so a random box-brown went over it. I *loathed* this colour, especially cos the shocking blue was still popping up as green-brown patches :/

Then work told me I could have unnatural colours πŸ™‚ This is MP Bad Boy Blue? Its not so great, only lasted a couple washes.

Over summer, I did a couple of bleach baths/blonde dyes til I was this light colour πŸ™‚

Then came the rainbow πŸ˜€

Rainbow after about 3-4 weeks...

Tried a Vit C treatment and dandruff shampoo, which got it down to this:

Then a bleach bath...

And a full on bleach (20vol)... I had such fried, patchy hair :/

Then it was St Patricks Day, so I chucked some green in πŸ™‚

Yet *another* bleach bath, you can tell where the yellow was still though...

And this is me now πŸ™‚

Im getting really bored of blonde, but my workmates tease me for having odd coloured hair, and Im going to lose some more weight and have dying it blue/purple/turquoise as a reward πŸ˜€

your hair looks in lovely condition considering all the bleach you've attacked it with! Blue will look great with your eyes and comes out pretty easy too if your workmates are losers about it and you need rid - but you shouldn't listen to them, they're probably just jealous they don't have the guts to go bright!

Aw cheers bunny πŸ™‚ I should have prolly said that going from rainbow to blonde has taken me 3 months... with my boss now calling me "Pinky" cos of the pink patches i had in from that jolly stubborn purple! And I use some really good conditioner every wash cos it was quite fried for a while there. Im quite keen to go blue again now Ive come back to the forum...Ive got colour-lust all over again!

! Wow, thats a lot of changes!  Looking very good though!  Rainbow looks hard to pull off but you did a good job with the colors.
