I managed to layer my hair all over untill 90% of the dye was gone  maybe 95% just the ends need 1/2 inch trim i think but its very faded.

So this is my natural hair colour, its quite a bright picture i am not that pale, but i wanted lots of daylight on my hair so you could see the layers. I am planning on keeping the layers as i really like them.

I took the pics with my new web cam which i love because there is no flash and it shows my hair exzactly how it is, except just a fraction lighter because i was next to the window when i took them on my bed.

There are a few golden tones in my hair but it is mainly light brown/almost medium with golden highlights, when i take the clips out it looks more brown as the temples where my hair grows are very light.

Taking photos is great because you can really tell the difference its much better than measuring by far.



So my goal from here is just to grow grow and grow and get 1/2 inch trims every 4 months all over. I will be doing the cutting myself since it turned out so well. I managed to keep some thickness and not let it thin out too much or go to short. Overall to remove the dye i lost 2 1/2 inches in length but it was worth it to have my natural colour again.

It feels so good to have my hair back again, this is the shortest my hair has been and i actually like it, i think its the layers i like more than anything though, dont worry i am still growing my hair long lol


Looking at these pics i am quite impressed with the growth after just 9 months

Your hair looks beautiful,Rainbow!! :)  Nice job on the cutting,too ;)

Wow you have such nice hair!  Can't wait to see it really long! ;)

It must feel great to have this new start with your hair.  Good luck!

I was reading over the 20 tips for growing long hair on this board and i read the first one and thought how true it was the hardest tip to follow but i feel so much better now :)

I'm glad you're happy with your hair now!  You really did a good job with the cut! Now that you've cut the damage off, it should be nothing but smooth sailing from here.  You can now just relax and watch it grow! :)

All i want now is for it to grow!!! grow!!! grow!!!! lol

Rainbow,
I started over about four or five years ago going cold turkey from dye and cutting dyed hair off bit by bit.  Your cut looks great.  I know I don't have the skill to do that myself.  I am glad I did what I did though I had tri-colored (I had been covering grey) really bad looking hair for about a year.  Yours looks good.  A great way to start. :)
