Oh hello there! How has everyone been faring for the past couple of weeks?
I’ve been quite busy the past few weeks with assessments, work and …life ;^; ! But yes, there’s been so much happening in my life lately; one huge thing in particular that many of you would already know would be that I dyed my hair a red-purple about a month ago. I went to a Korean salon advised by THIS guy (WHY WOULD I TRUST A WHITE MAN?!)
So yes, the above photo is the wonderful result of our FOUR HOURS in the salon (mainly mine though seriously)
We both underestimated how long we’d actually be in there …or really, how long my hair would take. So, for reference sake, I’ve included our not so wonderful pre-magical hair transformation photo below! (I really needed a hair cut)
Ash also decided to get his hair dyed because well, WHY NOT? And he had never done it before.
Anyway, at this point, we explained what we both wanted to our amazing hair dresser.
Whilst Ashley’s intended hair was going to be super easy to do (stupid white man and his ability to not need bleach) and wouldn’t cost that much ….I wasn’t that lucky. What I wanted would take at least 3 bleaching attempts, numerous hours and ..would total up to $490. I freaked out obviously. Thankfully, we managed to cut it down to $390 after agreeing on only 2 bleaches and cutting out some things. This was still expensive but I felt the need to splurge?? ;^;
Oh I should mention that I had NEVER bleached my hair before so …that was definitely an experience!!
Below are the progression shots of my hair over FOUR hours (Idek how Ash managed to stay sane for that long)
Here goes the first bleaching attempt ..and some strange looking contraption ..that ..serves …a purpose I don’t know.
I’m fairly sure this is after ..the second bleach? I’m not too sure but ..omgahhh so orange! I was so excited when they finally started putting the colour in my hair by the way. IT TOOK HOURS TO GET TO THIS POINT and I was progressively getting frustrated at having to get my hair washed constantly haha (Ash woulda been done by this point)
If you can see in the first photo above, Ashley is having fun waiting for me ….whilst playing on his slowly dying phone hahahahaha. But yesss, waiting for that many hours was a feat even for me ..so kudos to him!! ♥ But I was so excited when they finally started styling my hair!! After those many treacherous hours of sitting ..waiting ..getting my hair washed ..and then having my head put in to strange looking machines … I was finally doneee! ヽ(･∀･)ﾉ
But yes omgah, I was so happy with how my hair turned out (and yes, Ashley’s too) !!! ♥
SO HAPPY, that I included another photo of us ..although with Ash looking away bwahahah. But seriously, look at dem curls. I have yet to be able to recreate this look … but ..at least I have forever captured this moment on camera!
Since the whole hair dying experience was a first for both of us a in away, we decided to celebrate by going to a bar and getting a drink (which by the way was a first for me too – since I don’t usually drink alcohol)
But I actually had a really good day with Ash, despite staying at the salon for four freaking hours!
Oh, and I bet you’re all wondering how our hairs have turned out a month later… and well, the purple in my hair … WASN’T THE BEST CHOICE. It pretty much faded within a week! I struggled with maintaing the red in my hair, so using a red dye shampoo removed the purple quicker. Ashley, obviously HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH HIS HAIR (damn his genes). His now looks like a nice auburn colour ..while mine is continuously trying to turn orange >:|
Lesson: Ombre is hard to freaking maintain ..and splurging $390 on your hair is a bit insane.
What colours have you dyed your hair?
Wow, that’s almost 500bucks! That’s insane
Melody so I’m glad that the haidressers
REALLY made a great job on it!
Really cute you and Ash! xx

I know right – NEVER spending that much in one go again :P
And thankkkk youuuu <333
Your hair looks goooooorgeous *O* I’m sorry it was short lived. I’ve been a redhead too so I know that feeling bro. Red hair is so hard to maintain :’D Aside from red, I’ve been various shades of browns, blonde, ginger (damn Asian genes!) and that really fake shade of black when you try to get back to natural black by dying it lol
Oooooh, GINGERRR! We always get gingerr loooool <3
And omg. I've attempted to do the dye back to black too …I looked sah emo hahaaha. But yess, thank youu! <3
Oh my goodness that is insanely GORGEOUS. You are BEAUTIFUL as a redhead (but of course you are always beautiful). I can’t believe that for the amount you paid, it didn’t last that long. :(
Aww thank youuuuuuuu <3
and I KNOW RIGHT :( But probably my own fault for not using the appropriate care products :(
Amazing!!!!! I hope you took a million snaps when it was first dyed! Ah I hope I can see the redhead in person soon! ;)

LOL! You know I would’ve ;) hahaha
and yessss, let’s meet upppppppp ….when we’re both free ;^;
Four hours is such a long wait… when i got my hair permed it took 3 and a bit hours and I was dying haha- I don’t think I could have lasted 4 ._. Your hair looks so awesome though! I love the red and purple combo!
LOL! I was dying by the end of it ..trust me ;___;
I’m pretty sure my phone battery was like dead that day ….
omg your hair looks so great so envious! it really suits your skin tone too, i tried to dye my hair red but didn’t bleach and it turned out pretty dark purple-maroon and did not look good at all : ( hope you manage to recreate the curls (curling is so hard).
Aww yes! That’s how my hair always turned out in the past but I thought I’d take the plunge and bleach for once!!! And …tell me about .. curling takes so much skill ;^;
I’m so loving your hair color! looks so good on you!

Thank youuuu <3 !
wah super love this colour on your Melludee! Red is a bitch to keep up but the payoff is really great. I’ve been playing with the thought of going back to red but I’d rather go purple. LOL stupid job rules though… ><
Aw :( But red is totally more of a natural colour than purple!!!
But yes, it is sooo hard to maintain -_-” but eeee, there’s always wigs in the end! x
Oh my gosh, your hair looks so gorgeous!! Yes, red can be a pain to maintain though, which is sad, but it really looked lovely in these photos!! Dem curls <3
Thank youuuu! Ikr. Dem curls are sah amazinggg *___*
Melody!!!! :D
I’ve dyed my hair brown, and that’s about it.
I’m too scared to try other colours. xD
By the way, your hair looks gorgeous!

I loooove red hair! You look stunning on the pictures, Melludee~ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉﾞ❀~~ your hair is indeed on fire and the waves are sooo pretty!! I definitely need to go the the hair dresser too… I also like the color that your friend got! It suits him a lot!
Awww thank youuuuu! Yesssss <3
I want to recreate those prettyyyy waves *_*
Omg your hair looks amazingggg. I don’t think I could spend that much money on my hair though (to get it professionally done but the result looks so good T^T ) Will the red be hard to get out later? coz that’s why I don’t do red – friends tell me its hard to remove if you wanna go a different colour :(

Thank you!!! :)
love the color on you..don’t spend that much ever again lol
Hehe thank you! and I definitely will try not to :P
omg I love love love this hairstyle! and the colour is so pretty! they did such a great job!
i think an occasional splurge is okay, especially when you’re life is undergoing change!
i remember when i went to a salon once and they did all this stuff and it ended up being ridiculous as well… but sadly my result wasn’t even HALF as nice as yours.
aaah super jealous!
