Mhmm.. That's what I though... you totally need them now. You won't be able to get the thought out of your head, so don't even try, it's not worth the effort. The best thing about hair feathers is that you can curl em, straighten em, and wash em! Amazing, it's like real hair but way better!

On the Mr.Kate website is an amazing tutorial and list of places online to buy supplies to get your own hair feathers. I seriously recommend checking it out here. Stay tuned for more awesome hair week posts!

The Dainty Squid :: Hair Dying Tips & Tricks

Hello! Dying your hair bright purple or green may seem terrifying to you, but in truth it's so worth it! If you are thinking about taking the plunge but need that extra push you should check out The Dainty Squid's tips and tricks on hair dying. It is split up into parts one, two and three.

The first section is about bleaching your hair. I am actually a bit scared to do this myself so I go get it done at the hair dressers first and then do the dying myself, which brings us to part two: dying your hair. Then the third part is a miscellany section that includes some of her fave products and how to keep your hair bright for longer.

I think this pic is so cute! I haven't worked myself up to being able to dye my whole head a fun color yet, but this photo almost convinces me! Happy Hair Week! xo ldc

Hair Week :: Ombre Hair

Continuing on with a week of hair tips, styles, inspiration and ideas I would like to introduce you to ombre hair. Definition: The hair world borrowed the term 'Ombre' from the french word meaning shaded or shading. Ombre hair color is generally darker at the roots through the mid-shaft and then gradually gets lighter from the mid-shaft to the ends. It is usually achieved using a balayage technique and is ideal for clients looking for a low-maintenance style.
This style is low maintenance because it doesn't matter if it grows out becuase that just adds to the style! Therefore, no root touch ups needed and you have a cool new stryle! Here are a few photos I love:

Or you can go safer and use these colours....

but I say go big or go home.

Here is a tutorial on how to get your own ombre hair. I think I might do this when I get to school. I can't do it during the summer because we are not allowed to have crazy hair like this at work! haha. xo ldc

Hair Week :: Orange

As some of you may know, I love to dye my hair. I just started doing it last year and got quite addicted to crazy colors!

Hair Week Blog Event!

Welcome to the Hair Week Blog Event! For those of you who have followed my blog for a little while you know that I love doing and dying my hair! During the summer I have to keep my hair plain jane because of my summer job. Therefore, I am going nuts not being able to dye my hair a funky color or get something cool like hair feathers! This inspired me to put together a large collection of hair inspiration posts that I hope you will enjoy.

Along with my hair being boring I thought it would be great to do this at the end of August since everyone is going back to school and what not. I always feel like I need a new hairstyle before I start school. Therefore hopefully these posts will inspire you and me both to do something fantastic to our hair for September!

What to look forward to this week: Hiar tutorials and inspiration from your favorite bloggers. DIY's for awesome hair styles & Inspiration for different hair styles and colors!

Hold on tight cause your head is about to explode with awesome inspiration (that's almost a pun isn't it?).
