Hair Experiments?

Hair Experiments?
Pinterest Hair Colors

I love hair! I like curly, straight, wavy hair! I was really close to pursuing a career in Cosmetology, which entails working with hair, makeup and nails. I discovered I enjoyed experimenting with hair in middle school. That was when I began dying my hair. I have had my hair brown-red, dark brown, light brown, dark black, half red, half pink, half purple and caramel highlights. (I'd totally show pictures- but that means exposing my pictures from middle school and that AIN'T going to happen).


When I would dye it in middle and high school I used the hair dyes from Wal-Mart. I would do it myself and it would last for about three months. When I saw it fading I would get excited and began to think of a different new color to try.


In previous articles I have mentioned how I like a change in my routine and that goes for almost everything I do. I enjoyed starting the school year, semester with a new hairstyle. Something had to change whether it was a hair cut or hair color.

Aside from dying it, I also began to style it. In seventh grade I discovered the straightener. My hair is naturally curly; I mean I wouldn’t straighten my hair EVERY day, just more than I like to count. What I did not discover though was the heat protectant. So yes as you can imagine I damaged my hair REALLY bad. It turned out to be dry and filled with split ends. I was set on having long hair so I did not cut it much, YEAH I KNOW!


Sooner or later I figured it was what I had to do because it could grow back and it did. Towards the end of high school I decided to cut my hair once. I had a salon where I would always go with my family, however once they left my hair uneven. Not EXTREMELY uneven but enough to notice. My haircut did not come out that bad actually; I just decided to take the scissors in my hands after a five minute YouTube video. I cut my sister’s hair once too into a v-shape, it looked amazing…(well you know at least even).

Let me get back to the hairstyling. I completely LOVE to style hair. Whether mine, my sister, mom, friend, whoever! Of course NOW I use the heat protectant. But I find it very therapeutic when I style hair. It only takes me about 20 minutes or so to do mine (depending whether I straighten it or do tight/loose curls). There are times when I offer my friends to curl their hair because I really enjoy it. I used to curl my hair at the USU restrooms sometimes (I’d get there early). I once curled my friends hair there too because she had a presentation, so I brought in a chair and everything (again it was early) but it was fun!

Either way, styling hair is one of MANY hobbies. I had fun experimenting with it whether it was with scissors or colors. I always encourage my friends to cut their own hair but they think I am crazy. You just never know until you try it! These are the BEST years to experiment with hair! I may just dye it one of these colors because aren't they HOT?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
