Hair Update 2014: From Ombre to Brown Hair

Hair Update 2014 From Ombre to Brown Hair

I had the itch to change my hair… again! You may have seen a little picture on my Instagram earlier this week about my transition from ombre to brown hair, but here’s the full story: basically, I wasn’t too happy with how my ombre hair looked anymore – my hair was looking way too damaged, when it actually wasn’t, and I just wanted to go back to my natural hair colour, which is a really dark brown, almost black colour. As always, I trusted my lovely hairdresser Ivan with my eyes closed, and he did a brilliant job – I couldn’t be happier! :)

Here’s my hair journey until today: I started with my natural long dark brown hair until February 2013; in April 2013 I had caramel ombre highlights put on the ends of my hair, and in September 2013 I chopped 10 inches off my hair, which left me with a medium length caramel ombre hairstyle. To kick off the new year, in March 2014 I decided to go one shade lighter, and my hair ended up way too blonde for my liking, so in April 2014 I had the colour corrected and my hair was medium-long with warm blonde highlights. And finally, the most recent update, in July 2014 I had the colour 5.1 Light Ash Brown put on my hair, mixed with a bit of medium brown to tone down the blonde highlights, so my hair is currently medium-long rich dark brown.

I’ve gone through a lot of chair changes over the last year, and the last time I remember fiddling this much with my hair, was when I was 16! So I’m just really looking forward to an easy hair-life, at least for a while – who know’s when I’ll get bored again! Ivan has recommended lots of products to make sure the dark brown doesn’t fade too much, especially if I go out in the sunshine, and since I’m going on holiday in a few days time (whoop! whoop!), I made sure I’m all kitted out and ready to be – and stay – a full-on brunette again! Do let me know if you’d like to see an updated haircare routine with all the new products I got to look after my dark hair.

As I said on the video above, once I’d gone back to my natural hair colour, I realised that it actually suits me a lot better than any other hair colour ever will. I once read somewhere that your natural hair colour is meant to be the one that suits you the most, because it was made especially for you, and I totally agree with that on me. I know that not everyone agrees with this, but I think there’s just something about my natural hair colour that really goes well with my skintone, my eyes and my personality. Does anyone else agree?
