All About My Hair Colour!

This has been a highly requested post from girls wanting to know how I lighten my hair to get this colour blonde, and how I get my Bellami Hair extensions to match! So this post is going to be strictly about my HAIR, yay!




For starters I want to point out that I am a natural ashy/white blonde and not all hair takes bleach the same way. So what works for me to get the colour of blonde I like, might come out a little different on someone else if you are a natural brunette, dirty blonde or more of a yellow blonde :)



At the salon:

- I use bleach 20 volume (I have never dyed or put colour in my hair I just use bleach!).

- Weaved foils, close together (I only use foils).

- I don't get the bleach pulled down to the ends of my hair when doing foils, I only do my roots so bring the bleach about half way down (or wherever your roots end) while leaving the ends of your hair out.

- My hair lifts quickly so I usually only have my foils on for 30 minutes at the longest.

- After 30 min. when getting the bleach washed out I usually get a toner put in to make it a little ashy because thats how I like my hair to look. I don't always need a toner, it all depends on how my hair took to the bleach and if it looks like it has a little yellow undertone my hairdresser will tone it.





At home:

- To keep my blonde from getting yellowy from the sun, I use a purple shampoo on my hair two-three times a week. That helps to keep it a white and ashy blonde!

- For my Bellami Hair extensions I toned them myself with a purple shampoo to get them to match my hair because they were a little too yellow when I first got them :)
You can check out my video on how I toned them bellow!

And feel free to use code Kennedy for $5 off any set at Bellami Hair! Xo



That is everything that I do to my hair!! There is nothing I didn't tell you! :)

I hope this helped for those of you that wanted to know, and remember that everyones hair is different so I'm not saying that this will make your hair the exact colour of mine but it does give you an idea of what I do! Feel free to discuss this with your hair dresser if you are interested in going this colour :)

Fashion Nova

I am sorta digging the confused laid-back/dressed up look that I have going on here. It's as if I planned on dressing up and then last minute threw a ball cap on because of a possible "bad hair day" ;)
However, that isn't the case! I am sporting my comfy, grey Bow Down Dress from Fashion Nova that I wanted to add some extra flare to by pairing it with my goto leather jacket by Joe Fresh, and a chunky necklace that can spice up a simple dress. My heels from Aldo are fairly new so I will find any excuse to wear them whenever I can, and with this outfit I think it adds some extra detail to the look! And for the ball cap…what girl doesn't love to throw a ball cap on? I think it looks fun, sporty and stylish and adds a unique twist to the overall look! Xo

Spring Fling

I am loving this flirty springtime outfit right now! I think I have worn this light blue coat five days within this last week… Guilty. The colour is just so pretty and I love pairing it with a pencil skirt for a cute day/night date look or a pair of ripped jeans for a more casual, laid-back look. But can we talk about this bag for a minute?! I have been so excited to post photos on my blog as soon as I purchased it! The colour, shape, size, EVERYTHING I am just so obsessed with it for Spring. I found this purse when I was in Vegas for my 21st birthday last week, and after roaming the Fashion Show Mall for hours (I had a vision of the perfect bag in mind) I ended up finding it at Marshalls! Not Michael Kors, not Kate Spade but good ole' Marshalls for $30 :) Usually when I am at Marshalls/Winners I find myself loving all of the more pricey bags (not by choice) and when I found this beautiful "butter yellow" bag I thought for sure it was going to be at least $80, which I am totally fine with. However, when I saw the price I snagged it so fast! C'mon this bag does not look like it cost only $30!! Ahh it makes me happy… Anyways, these heels I got from Aldo last year and they are extremely comfortable!

Lace & Leather

Sorry for those of you that got hit with late winter snow because I am in the mood for Spring! How fab is this outfit for a date or a night out?  I love this pastel blue lace skirt for springtime, and pairing it with a leather jacket to give it a more edgy look! When I saw this red patent clutch in my closet I instantly wanted to pair it with this outfit!  Lace is certainly big for spring so I feel like I will be getting a lot of use out of this skirt because you can change up the look with a a crop top and wedges to make it more casual!

Edgy

Yes, I am wearing my biker style leather jacket again… It is just the perfect staple piece that every girl should have in their closet!  When it comes to clothes, I am a black and grey fanatic!  When I go shopping I try to make myself buy different coloured items but I always gravitate towards these two shades! I love how this outfit looks with the black jacket, top and pants because it makes this scarf EVERYTHING!  And can we talk about those boots for a second… They are the first thing my eyes go to.  I know that these will be a favourite of mine for years. Oh, and I found where you can get them on SALE! Xo

There is something about a trench coat that is so timeless, and I think everyone should have one in their closet! Rain or shine, a trench can do no wrong and they will never go out of style. You can pair it in the day with black pants or jeans for a casual look, and style it up at night with a skirt or dress for a sophisticated/classy look! Xo
