104 heads of hair

So, according to a survey commissioned by hairdresser Andrew Collingen the average woman apparently changes her hairstyle 104 times in her lifetime.

Is that all? I'm the youthful side of 22 and have already experimented with too many disastrous ones to mention.


Aged 4 before becoming scissor happy

Being a natural redhead, ginger, strawberry blonde or fanta top, my teenage years called for a 'social norm' style, which inadvertently meant- dye it mousy brown.

However, under-estimating the chemical reaction left me with jet black hair, a pale freckly complexion and flamboyant ginger eyebrows. Highly attractive.

Surprisingly, the 'Heathcliffe-esque' hairdo was doing no favours for my love life or street cred (already disabled due to Head Girl status) . Therefore, a lengthy wait of seven months saw a return to all things ginger, but this time I embraced a full on fringe.

While I was content with my new choppy locks and fringe combo, I was unaware of the impending danger contained in humidity. It leaves a lot to be desired.

Lop-sided and parting.

More attention needed.

So, another look was needed. Like most females I yearned for an edge. Something different. A change. It was time to inject a little colour in my life...again!

The blue then changed to purple, pink and was finally topped of with a grass green. Very sophisticated and fitting for a full time student.

But, with a move onwards and upwards in career decisions, a new hair style had to compliment a new look. So I decided to follow the celebrity trend and shaved half my head.

Fun while it lasted, the pixie crop was way too much effort and an excruciating process of hair growing continues. This is of course interjected with the odd extension wearing and regular trim!

Working progress!
