During my pregnancy I documented my growing bump with a corresponding fruit. It also just so happened to document my ever changing hair. So since I haven’t updated the daily wear in some time this should get this page up to speed.

Special thanks to Rebekah Hoyt Photography for these gorgeous photos! You are an amazing friend and even more amazing photographer. You can go to her blog to check out bigger versions of these photos: http://www.rebekahhoyt.com/blog/2013/2/6/alis-baby-belly.html

2012 Gym Hair.

Happy New Year! Headed to the gym to work off all the great holiday foods I’ve been indulging in and I thought I’d share my easy short gym hair style.

Going to the gym before style.

When i go workout I pin my fringe to the side. Doing this helps prevent breakouts on the forehead and avoids your hair from unattractively sticking to your face as well.

Happy 2012 everyone! Make good on those resolutions!

Ciao!

Pixie in Paris

Okay so I didn’t go to Paris but I did
go to Italy and in honor of that I cut all my hair the same way I had it in the fall of 2007 when I lived in Firenze.

In between cutting off my hair my dear friend Erin Gallagher cut my hair into a very retro Paige Boy. She executed it perfectly. Here is a picture of her magnificent work.

Haven’t posted in awhile! Fall has kicked off and I am super busy! More fun hair photos to come! Here is what I did with it today. A fast simple updo!

Back in Black… Er Blonde.

So I have been on a hiatus from blogging. Sincere apologies are in order… sincere apologies to my poor hair. It has been dyed and fried and pushed aside. I am back to blonde. In defense of the red I actually loved it. But when you are a natural red and you deposit red on very lightened hair it does not want to stay for very long. So the fadeige along with having to redeposit almost every week or two was way too high maintenance for me.

Given that I have now bleached my whole head – my hair is holding up wonderfully. I had almost no breakage and the next day did a Keratin Protein treatment so now my hair is shiny and feels soft and silky!

With out further ado… here it is. (For details on how I came back from the dead see below the pics.)

I'm back to matching my sweet pup Reese... now we are both legally blonde again!!!

So in my previous post – I had done two rounds of highlighting. I waited two weeks to do this process after the highlighting. In those two weeks I was doing one protein treatment a week and only washing my hair once a week to allow my hair time to heal. I also got a haircut so get rid of the dead ends.

For this process we (my friend Gemma did this for me) used decolorizer (aka bleach). It was first applied to my mid shaft of my hair (not touching roots or damaged ends (about two-three inches of my ends were left out to prevent breakage. This process was applied all over with 20 volume. We then applied bleach to my roots with the bleach still on my shaft, much like you would apply color. After my roots were lifted to the desire level we washed all the bleach out. We then mixed bleach with 40 volume and shampoo and bleach bathed the ends, in this process you basically wash the ends (that we had left out in the process) and emulsify the hair till it is the desire level. After washing all of that bleach out thoroughly we applied an Ash blonde toner (Schwarzkopf Royal 10-2, 1:2).

The High Life.

Going back blond has proved to be a very difficult task. Thanks to my fellow stylist Gemma Tripodi, Erin Gallagher and Erica Spaneli for the highlights. Erin did round one last week and this past week we put 84 foils in my head to “blond by foil”. So here is the strawberry color I am now… It won’t be changing for awhile since my hair can’t take anymore. We toned the first round with Schwarzkopf 9-5 and then this second time we toned with Schwarzkopf 10-4, which is a beige level 10.
