    hair dye diaries – green to fiery orange!

    by Kaylah Stroup June 3, 2019

    Say ‘goodbye’ to green & a bit fat ‘hello!’ to this fiery orange!

    Arctic Fox Sunset Orange & cosmic sunshine

    After three whole years of green hair, I’m finally back in the hair dye game! Seems a little funny to act like having green hair is boring but going three years without any big hair changes is definitely out of character for me. What can I say? I really loved green. I still love green and I look forward to going green again someday BUT I was bored.

    I had a couple moments during the fading process that I questioned what I was doing and why I’d want to change my hair but I had already mentioned my intention to change up my hair. Y’all keep me accountable!

    • Beyond the Zone Radical Bleach Kit (Amazon / Sally Beauty Supply)
    • Arctic Fox Sunset Orange (Amazon / Sally Beauty)
    • Arctic Fox Cosmic Sunshine (Amazon / Sally Beauty)
    • Special Effects Hi-Octane Orange (Amazon)

    If you use Honey, you can almost always find a coupon for Sally’s! (The morning I bought dye, it found one for me that brought the total down another $6.80!)

    Even as someone who has dyed my hair basically every color, I still get nervous about how it’ll turn out. I think it’ll be really rad to have this to look back on like ‘okay, the green didn’t truly bleach out but look what I ended up with when I used this specific combination of colors on top of that.’ Ya know?

    I’m excited to rock this orange/red combo for a while but perhaps even more excited to no longer be stuck with green. As I said, I loved green but I kind of got a little too attached to it. I can’t wait to experiment with new color combinations in the next few months. xoxo

  • exploring an abandoned house

    by Kaylah Stroup May 29, 2019

    Early last month we woke up before the sun and headed out on a little adventure. The plan was to explore an abandoned church that we found out was accessible. We circled the neighborhood looking for the perfect place to park that wouldn’t look suspicious. After what felt like forever, we finally chose a spot …
