Copper Streaks

Since we are approaching the middle of summer and the summer heat is in an all time high, my sporting long locks was becoming irritating, Moreover, since I grew my hair straight out, it turned out boring. [Which is something I don't like. I am a fan of funky hair.] To remedy the situation, I looked into some resource photos and got a new cut.

So, I wanted something new without losing the length of my hair. I also wanted bangs since it reminded me of my sister who I sorely miss. [Bangs are adorable on her!] So, I looked for funky bangs and layered hair. Though, I do think that the funky bangs won't be enough to revamp my look so I decided to have streaks of color running through my hair, hence, the highlights. I originally wanted red, purple or blue but for the sake of work, I settled for copper. It's a little reddish but not too much.

I had this done at Index Salon: Lifehomes. My hairdresser was Sherwin. [I think he was the manager]. Anyway, I would just like to share what I went through since this would be the first time I ever had my hair colored.

First, was the hair cut to get the bangs and the layered hair I was aiming for. Then start picking the hair to highlight and bleach it:

   

After bleaching, the color was set  in:

  

And lastly, modification to the hair cut. Here's the final product:

   

Thanks, Sherwin.
