Blonde Ambition

A change in the weather means a change with the hair.
I've always wanted to go blonde and finally took the plunge yesterday!
I was going to go to a hairdresser but figured it would be cheaper to try myself first, so I took myself down to my local Sally's and picked up loadsa bleach and salon hair dye. 
(L'Oreal Majirel in 7,3 and 9,0)

Two glasses of wine, several feet of foil and a few hours later I had a new install with loadsa help from Mama DOS. 
This hair is the same hair that I've been wearing since January that I brought from Ali Express, you can see my initial post HERE.
It's been through alot (I know the ends look a bit dry but these pics were taken before I had deep conditioned after all the bleaching) but it's still standing and well worth the price, I don't think I will be buying hair from UK suppliers for a long while!

I'm also wearing a closure purchased from H Closures
I didn't bleach the knots and yet it still looks lovely and natural, I will see how this pans out after I've worn it in as my last closure couldn't deal with my lifestyle!

In other news I've been really getting into filming videos for my YouTube channel so feel free to check out my latest Summer Beauty Favourites video below!

Fierce



Which is EXACTLY how I felt when I had this picture taken!
New year means new look so I had my AMAZING hairdresser hook me up with my new install and make up to match.
I went longer with my hair opting for 24" (I may cut it back down to 22" however, we'll see how well I adjust) with a closure piece as my hair needed it!
This is my first time wearing a closure and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised.
The hair I purchased was from Ali Express - Queen Hair, I have purchased from them before (you can see the hair in my previous posts since July) and I can safely say that I like this hair, yeah its not 100% tangle free but it's affordable and long lasting.
The closure I also purchased from Ali Express, as this is my first time wearing a closure I can't give an honest review but will do an initial one in a few weeks or so.
So far really liking this hair, will probably trim a little off the ends and dye it burgundy or honey blonde (Beyonce style) dependant on how I feel so stay tuned!

Now to make a decision on my new hair colour.

Any suggestions?

Soo...I Did It










Yeahhh so I had a vain moment, there really is NO NEED for all the photos but I had to show off my NEW DO!

Yeah I went and got it chopped off and I LOVE IT!
It's very choppy and sort of punk rockish which I love!
I have a shape up and all sorts!
I guess the hard part comes with maintaining it now but we all learn as we go along.

The first pic is salon fresh and you can see my dogs cheeky face in the background too!

Was not sure how everyone would take the drastic change but I have had an awesome response from my FB family! :) 

Got my hair cut at Radiant Salon in Bermondsey if anyone is interested.

While I'm here thought I'd do a quick outfit post too!

Went to meet a friend today for a spot of shopping!

Wanted to keep it quite casual!




Jacket: Primari, Top: Topshop, Riding Pants: H&M, Snood: H&M, Heels: Ebay

Apologies for the state of these photos and my militant stance...I have no excuse!

I also want to bring attention to my new shoes!



JC knock off's! Yeah I'm NOT ashamed! Not for the price I bagged them at! £30!!! BARGAAAIN! They are ridiculously comfortable!

I've seen another pair that look exactly like Lita's, may treat myself to those in another colour!

Hmm...

Anyway guys, I'm off to decorate the Christmas tree...BADLY.

Stay tuned to DOS will be making some well needed changes in the new year!

Also a big mahussive THANKS TO ALL READERS AND SUBBIES!

You make blogging worthwhile!

Hairspiration Part 2

Yepppp! 
So me being the most indecisive person you will ever meet cannot decide on my new hair do, a few weeks ago I was happy with the long, sophisticated bob, however my mind has now been swayed and I am looking at the short back and sides...some of you may be wondering what I am talking about...look below and see! ;)




Decisions, decisions!!!


What do you guys think? Is a new look in order?

Hairspiration

I am TIRED of my current hair do (yawn!), it's not very inspiring!

I want to change it up, to be honest I've been wanting to change my hairstyle for the past 3 years but I can never make up my mind for long enough!

I've wanted to go short, pixie cut (I want to feel the wind on my neck!), I've wanted to go long and wavy (Kardashian wise), I even wanted a shave for a while but I think I have now found where I've wanted to go.

The long bob/shoulder length hair.

It's sophisticated, sexy and something different for me as well as being versatile.

I've picked up Hairspiration from the following beauties!








I'm not sure of the exact style yet but somewhere along these lines!

Watch this space!

Ombre!


I jumped on the bandwagon but have to say I do prefer my hair darker in the autumn months! (Please excuse my eyebrows!)
