After a two day stint with accidentally yellow roots, I realised I just don't like very light blonde hair on myself anymore, and I wanted something a bit different to regular highlights or lowlights. I could not be happier, and owe a huge thanks to Dearan at Style Club in Dublin for being wonderful and making this happen. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These pants are actually years old, from Bershka.
