Chop chop. Fresh mop!

A couple weeks ago I went and did that thing where you just decide your hair is awful and chop it all off in the bathroom by yourself. Yep, that happened. It's not THAT scary since I am a licensed hair stylist (even though I haven't worked in a salon in years). It was just feeling long and frumpy and unmanageable, not to mention Beck was constantly pulling it. That and I was seeing too many amazing medium-long bobs on pinterest and I just needed to do it! It more-or-less turned out exactly how I wanted and I'm loving the lower maintenance-ness of it.

Right around the same time I chopped my hair off I was offered to try this hair color from a new-ish company, Madison Reed, that has ammonia-free, paraben-free, harsh chemical free (you get the idea)  hair dye! I was REALLY curious to try it since I've been coloring my hair for years and years and the "healthier" options never work all too well. The verdict is: It's actually really really amazing! I didn't feel like I was going to pass out as I was applying it in my bathroom, it was easy to apply (even if you've never done it before), and the color is holding up really well—in fact, just as good as the chemically-ammonia kind I've been using for years.

Scraggly before photos, my roots were out of control...

Then after the cut and new color:

I did my own research into the company and I really love what they are all about. Hair color that is better for you that has holding power and that you can easily do in your home. Also, no animal testing, thats huge!

  3. Your hair looks fantastic, and that color is gorgeous! I went red for around 7 years and finding the perfect shade was always so difficult. I love that their product is not filled with harsh chemicals, I'll definitely have to look into it.

  7. My hair is starting to feel same way yours was, and I've been fighting the chop urge! I'm a licensed hairstylist too so a quick snip in the bathroom wouldn't be such a bad idea ;)

    Your cut and color look great!

  8. I'm a natural redhead and have never colored my hair (did get high-lights once two years ago that damaged my hair because to salon left it on too long). At 56 years my hair is not as vibrant as it once was - have NO gray hairs as of yet (my grandmother still had some natural red hair far into her nineties). So I went to a salon 2 days ago and she wanted $95. funny how i saw a facebook ad yesterday for Madison Reed.; after researching what it looked like on actual woman - I ordered the Vesuvius Red and can hardly wait until it arrives!
