Girly: Hair evolution

First, notice that I’m adding a “category” before the title. I think from now on I’ll classify my posts the following way: Food for daily interesting eats, recipes, life for random thoughts or things that happen in life and girly for fashion/skincare/makeup posts. That way it helps me to find old posts and guide readers a little bit more.

Today I’ll talk about the evolution of my hair color and style, which you’ll see quite boring 😦

This photo was taken in 2001 and this is my all time style: ponytail. Until then I always kept my natural color: light black.

Then I cut it quite short.

BTW, this is my oldest friend, Ling. We’ve been close friends for 29 years old!!! 😯 I’m 30, so we know each other since we were 1 yr old. Woo!

A little bit longer and styled

2004 I turned to orange-brown.

As you can see, I don’t look good in short hair. But the color works for me.

2006

2006 same color, same cut, styled

2007 I did highlights. Styled and dressed. I didn’t look like me.

mid-2007, I turned to red.

so basically I’ve been in two colors: orange/brown and red; and two styles, ponytail and loose.

2011. On Tuesday I was bored at home so I played with my hair for 2 hours.

created three looks

and then I wanted to change the color. I haven’t done color since 2008, so it’s time for a change, a minor one.

Left (natural color), right (new color: chestnut)

the change is very minor, you won’t notice with these following two pics, but I do notice under the sun and light. More pic to come 😉

I like this style but it takes a lot of work to maintain (I guess). I wash my hair every other day (can’t go longer because I workout almost everyday), so if I want to use it loose, I’d have to do brushing every other day. That’s a lot of work, right? How do you maintain your hair? Any tip for speedy brushing?
