Haha… More of the same. Two car accidents 12 weeks apart. First one in January of this year. (neither my fault and 2nd was a hit and run) first accident airbag compacted the bones in my right wrist (always my “bottom” arm when doing handsprings, butterfly etc). Low back injuries from hitting the other car while pushing brake and clutch in to try and stop myself (difficult to arch my back and core strength lost) 2nd accident re-aggravated my low back injury and also gave me whiplash and upper back injuries. I do physio 3 days a week and get a massage once a week, muscle relaxants, anti inflammatories and lots of ice!!! Due to accidents I have also developed post traumatic stress disorder and see a councillor once a week. Yay! Lol!

Personally, it’s really difficult to pole sometimes and I have definitely had really discouraging pole sessions which leave me frustrated and sad. I find the best thing is to finish classes doing stuff that I can do well even if it’s just a few firemin spins or a front hook. I’ve been really stubborn lately and just trying to push through and I’ve actually seen improvement which is exciting!! Got twisted grip handspring and most recently elbow grip which isn’t pretty but STILL!! when I figure out how to edit video I’ll try to upload some… Keep your chins up ladies!! You’re all amazing and should be proud of yourselves!!

Hey guys, stylist of 11 years here… I agree with both of the stylists who have already posted… (first time posting myself btw) it IS do-able, BUT definitely don’t do it yourself… Box colour is most certainly NOT formulated for exactly your hair situation and will most likely just break it off or at the very least you will end up chopping a lot off to get it feeling normal again.

Not sure where everyone lives but in Canada we have a product called “vanish” it is an oxidative colour remover done by salon professionals it doesn’t “bleach” the hair but removes permanent hair colour in a gentle way with no damage to the cuticle… (smells terrible but it works!) Now, that being said, any corrective colour is a gamble especially if you are trying to go drastically lighter. I can’t remember if you had said that you were using box colour or not but IF you were… My best suggestion is to let the colour grow out as much as possible without coloring it and then chop as much of the colour out as possible. Box colour is a very scary thing to try and correct as a stylist and whenever I’m dealing with it in the salon I make clients sign a waiver because you can never guarantee it.

One other suggestion I have would be to buy some clip in pieces in as light a blonde as you can find them and put whichever colour you wanted on the swatches of hair (human hair of course as synthetic hair won’t absorb colour) to give yourself a peek-a-boo effect in the duration until you can achieve what your looking to do.

Good luck! And keep us posted on the progress!
