Why must we take out our relationship woes out on our hair?! We’ve all been there, it’s our hair that really suffers after a rough break-up or some other equally traumatizing life event that leaves us desperate for “a change.” You can probably name more than a few friends who have chopped off their hair or gone from brunette to blonde for this very reason, and are left to regret their rash decisions and complain mercilessly about it soon after. It doesn’t have to be this way! There are plenty of ways to revamp your look when you “just need something new” that won’t end in a what-was-I-thinking moment or damage your hair in the process.

Yep, honey has a naturally high concentration of peroxide, meaning you can actually use it to lighten your hair! The process does take some time, but you will gradually see your hair getting lighter after a few honey applications. Here’s a how to video from AndreasChoice, she’s mastered the technique!
3) Chalk It Up: Before deciding to D(ye).I.Y. which will most likely result in a patchy dye job and stained bathtub, try this quick fix for adding new color to your do. Hair chalking videos have been popping up all over the web of late and yes it is exactly what it sounds like. Chalk rubs off pretty easily onto damp hair, so pick your favorite pastel colors and get creative! Simply wash it out when your done
