YouTube Roulette

You know when you've finished watching a YouTube video and there are some recommended videos for you to watch at the end? You click on one, then another and somehow you've gone from watching an innocent cover of Rainbow's - "Since you've been gone"  to a dark, dark corner of YouTube where people watch and review other peoples washing machine cycles. Oh yeah, that's a thing. 

Well that my friends, is you unknowingly participating in what I like to call " YouTube Roulette". 

The general premise of this game is to pick something random, a song you've had in your head, something you just ate, or a word you've just seen, YouTube it and watch 10 videos from the recommended and see how far away from your original word you can get. 

From this game I have uncovered such Internet gems as Manatee Vs Glass  and literal versions of songs

You are welcome

What did I tell you?!

We all know what's coming, so lets just get on with it...I've done another drastic hair change, SHOCKER.

AND before you all laugh it up and start reminiscing about that time I had hair resembling a badger, it's actually paid of this time. SO HA


I've had dip dye for what seems like forever, just over a year in fact, and that's a freaking long time for me to keep a style. As I've mentioned countless times before, it kills me when people have the same stuff as me, and it seems that everyone is getting dip dye and I can't handle that, so I ducked out.


Now with having two tone hair for so long, it's quite difficult to just stop. This isn't some sob story of my emotional attachment to my hair, actually quite the opposite.What I actually mean is, because I've had ombre as well as coloured dip dye, there's some bleach under all that colour, and that's gonna trip me up. I decided I wanted the dip dye gone on my way home from Uni, stopped in a particularly dodgy hairdressers where no one spoke English and sort of signed my hair cut (sounds scarier than it was).  The hairdresser cut off what I thought  was all the bleach but I had a rather nasty surprise when I stripped the heinous black from my hair.


I've used a colour removal treatment before, and this one was working wonders, or so I thought, when I washed it off to reveal my "natural colour". Instead I was left with ginger roots, my near natural reddish brown length and green tips. Excellent.
Result of colour removal :(
The plan was to strip the colour off my hair, leave it for a few days and either stick with what I was left with or whack on a colour i fancied, yeah, that didn't happen. After a quick trip to the shops I returned with this beauty! 

Elixir of the gods 
I have an obsession with Macadamia oil, so finding it in a dye made my life complete. Never deviate from Schwarzkopf, they know best. FACT. Bunged this bad boy on the ol' noggin' and jobs a gooden'.
BOOM

I got the deep reddish brown I was after. I don't doubt that I'll mix it up at some point with a slightly lighter shade, but for now, it's bang on! 
Until the next disaster, Ciao!
