#at least i got my dad's genes for great hair for hair dye and bleach

[bunn-iiii]

fun fact: I forgot my hair is curly

another fun fact: I'm trying to grow out my undercut

save me

#how did you forget your hair is curly pete? oh well I'm glad you asked I'VE HAD LONG HAIR FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW #AND ALWAYS KEPT MY UNDERCUT AT A LEVEL 2 SO IT WOULDN'T GET THIS WAY #i have no idea why i didn't see this coming if i look back on photos of my short hair post T it's obvious this was going to happen #also yes my hair did change post T #it made it way fucking curlier #which is both a curse and a blessing #usually i like it a lot and with my pink hair i sometimes end up looking like lion from steven universe #but it's a curse right because of my undercut growing out #and i can't just fucking pin it down because my hair is too like slippery for that #which is something i got from my mom #at least i got my dad's genes for great hair for hair dye and bleach #usually my mom's hair has to bleach for a while and for multiple rounds even tho she's naturally blonde #while my hair has actually turn platinum blond and nearly white from leaving the bleach on for an hour #it was crazy #anyways hair rant over

welp, hair could NOT wait till next week. the dsyphoria anxiety was thing. bestie wasn't feeling great today, so i bleached my hair myself, and am proud to say i did pretty good job of it. my hair is kinda like sailor galaxia ^-^ and the really good news is i feel more like myself.

funny thing is my younger self swore up and down i'd NEVER ever ever bleach my hair nor go blonder. =shrugs=

i haven't put toner in it yet. debating about it, cause i kinda like how it is now. also, i'm super duper lucky my hair is soooo resilient and that the products i end up using are amazing! if you're curious - i used artic fox's bleach please and i wash my hair with the seaweed bath co shampoo and conditioner. also i believe, not 100% on this, but i think my natural hair color is actually salt n' pepper =shrugs= only 37, but genetics are a thing y0. my mom is naturally platinum blonde and my dad's hair is wispy and black. i got lucky, my brother's hair started to "lighten" at 13. lol, people always would assume he was the oldest cause he was taller and the hair obv, until he opened his mouth XD

having brown hair - which was my natural color when i was younger, was not pleasant for. it was an unfriendly reminder of what i like to call my "kool-aid" days. not knowing i was part of the queer community and not fitting in the community i was desperately seeking approval from. yeah...bad times.

as you've probably gathered i've never been blonde before either. it's interesting. my current concern now sun protection. i'm already pale af and now my hair is too XD

also why blonder? well, i am job hunting and most of the positions i'm looking at frown on blue or "unnatural" hair colors. i'm not fond of reds anymore. natural reds do NOT look good on me. brown we've covered, not a fan. black...welp, the brand of dye that i like to use their black comes out blue on me and box dye i'm not a fan of cause the color is just flat even when it's designed not to be, also it smells gawdawful. i choose blonde cause my natural color is pretty pale now anyway thanks to genes. and it's something new for me. pastel hair is currently in...i think <_< also i think this will be easier for me to transition to my natural color more comfortably, at least for my sanity.
