had my hair done

went to the hairdressers yesterday and decided i didn't like being a darker blonde and i wanted to be a proper blondie again. i foolishly went with my hair full of product from the night before (vo5 volume powder, batiste xxl volume and hairspray) which undoubtedly left it feeling straw-like and dry. this left my hairdresser (i go to the training academy to get it done, so i have different hairdressers every time) very hesitant to give me a full head of highlights which i really wanted as i think she thought my hair was in bad condition and couldn't take bleach. i had thick highlights in a half head which i'm pleased with on the top but the ends are still a light brown colour and i want them to be blonde also. i spent about 3 hours in there (didn't get it cut) because my hair takes so freaking long to lift. she used a mixture of 30 and 40 vol bleach depending on the position and i still had to sit under heat to get it to lift properly. she was super surprised when she washed out the bleach as she was like 'oh your hair is actually really soft and took that so well' which i'd tried to tell her before but she wasn't having any of it.. kind of my own fault but still. i was also asked if it was 'glued' in i was like no... it's all real. so then they were all fussing over it and stroking it.

the top and the area round my face is a lovely super blonde white shade. mmm :) please ignore my dire fake tan hands... when i had my nails done the technician would not stop joking about it.

nice dodgy face i'm pulling.. an idea of the length. it's got to the length i love, so when i sit down normally the ends brush my thighs. but as you can see, it's looking thinner (there is some round the back this isn't all of it!!) and the ends are still dark. i'm trying to lighten them with john freida go lighter but i don't seem to be getting anywhere! and i still want 26 inch extensions. i've measured my hair and it's currently about 21 inches. thoughts?

my blouse is from topshop and on my bottom half i'm wearing some beige chinos with cuffed bottoms (a la trendy boy style..) from the zara sale. i paired this with a black fake alexa and some tan sandals. tan courtesy of st moriz... not for long though as i go to malia in 6 days. roll on real sun!
