RE: BuzzFeed Application: Girls With Black Hair Going Mermaid Hair.

Everybody knows one of the biggest trends now, is the famous mermaid hair. They are amazing looking, but when you have a very dark natural hair color, the struggle is real, and all the work, and money to achieve and maintain the look you want, I have to say, is not that fun.

You need to bleach you hair.

Then you take all the courage for it, and start bleaching, just hoping for the best results.

Ops… not enough bleaching

But after you wash it, you realize was not enough bleach, and worst, even if it was enough, your hair is too dark and need more sessions of bleaching to achieve the ideal blonde.

When you finally get the right blond to color it ...

And you gotta wait some weeks between the session, but you don't want to, so you keep bleaching, and well let's say the results of this, are not pleasant.

Adding the colors! The mess is real...

But well, you are not giving up at this point, right? so you dye the hair anyway.

After all ready, you find out, the color was not enough...

Yes, some times the color is not enough or the blonde is not right, I just know you got dye again, to get those bright and vivid mermaid colors that we see on Instagram.

But that's ok, we can always add more color.

It looks like you killed a unicorn on your bathroom, every time you wash your hair.

It's time to retouch... and after few more washes, again, and again....

You just finish remove all the color on your hands, neck, towels, pillowcases, and well it's time to do all over again, the more intense the color, more stains you get.

6 month later, you're just too tired of this routine.

Tired of spending hours dyeing the hair, stained hands, and towels, you just can't take anymore.

You go to your natural color again.

After you calculate all the money you spent on products and the time consuming to maintain the colorful hair, you just go back to black.
