<\/a><\/p>\nJust over a year ago I thought I\u2019d try a little something different. The last time I\u2019d gone for a brighter follicular fancy was at least 3 years before, when I decided to try out a pillbox red ombre. My hair was so frazzled at the time because I had no idea how to care for coloured hair, so I\u2019d opted for more subtle highlights for ages. I\u2019d gotten myself a grown-up job, stopped going out every weekend because I thought that was what I was *meant\u201d to do once I hit the quarter century mark. I figured I\u2019d give this being an adult malarkey a shot.<\/p>\n Well as it turns out, I\u2019m not very good at it. I absolutely HATED being a grown up. I didn\u2019t want to look responsible, like someone would trust me with their taxes, I wanted to look like ME. Luckily my job is in a creative industry so no one even batted an eyelid when I went a little bit more Purple Rain than chestnut brown, or even when I swapped that lilac for flamingo pink, then mint green, then a slightly ill-advised acid green. Well you get the picture. In the past year I have had nearly every colour of the rainbow in quick succession, from galaxy shades to mermaid hair, and I have loved every single moment.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re interested in experimenting with bright hair colours, there are so many options out there from subtle pastels to HOLY SHIT NEON FUCKING GREEN. Some last for ages, but there are loads that wash-in and wash-out. If you\u2019re feeling nervous about trying something quite so in-your-face, I would suggest buying a bottle of cheap clarifying shampoo that is designed to \u201cremove product build-up\u201d. If you don\u2019t like the result, that stuff is super effective at stripping the colour out quickly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve had coloured hair ever since I was 13, when I first discovered Clairol’s now discontinued Glints and henna.
