Hello you beautiful people and welcome back to You Can Call Me P! If you've been keeping up with me on Instagram @youcancallmep_ you will have seen that I recently had my hair restyled by the fabulous Toni and Guy team in Hull. And what a wonderful job they did! 

When we initially approached the idea of me working with Toni and Guy I made it very clear that I didn't want my hair to be coloured, my ginger hair has almost become my trade mark so I was obviously somewhat sceptical, oh and I was 'growing it long'. But how the times have changed since then! And I am so glad I managed to, quite frankly, grow some balls! I trust the guys and gals completely at Toni and Guy so it just seemed like the natural progression to let Gareth have some free reign over my hair colour and boy am I glad because this colour is just insane! I experiment with my look constantly, if not daily, so why not do something different with my hair, and having now done it I have no idea what I was scared about in the first place!







The cut of my hair has, over the past few years, really just stayed the same, but when you have a good thing going why change it completely? I remember always wanting a full fringe as a teen, I was subject to the huge swiping fringe of 2009, and in hindsight now I realise just how awful it was (did any of us really look good with that amount of fringe??) despite this I completely and uttering adored it! It wasn't until 2013 that Dom convinced me that for my 18th Birthday I should go with my gut and chop my hair off and have a fringe put in, and 4 years later I am still reaping that same bloody fringe. Don't get me wrong, I've attempted and failed numerous times at growing it out, but theres something almost comforting about a fringe a feeling I have become used too and one I do not wish to give up just yet! 

Despite this amazing collaboration I have to admit one thing; I am a lazy hair dooer. I love my hair, I love styling it, but I am lazy as hell. Which brings me right back round to the overall cut of it, it has stayed the same for so long because despite having a fringe I am still able to pile it high on my head without a second thought! I have very long layers, for this exact reason. In the fast paced world that we all currently live in, unfortunately I do not have the time to always perfectly style it so having a cut that is both practical and fabulous is a win win in my book! 

When getting it cut I generally ask for a basic trim to ensure the ends remain healthy and to lighten the load a little bit, my hair grows fast and thick so it does generally need at least an inch off. For my layers, I ask for texture, but never too choppy, this is to ensure the hair is lifted and light, especially with how thick it can sometimes feel! The girls always style it on point, finishing off with a few curls made by straighteners (the only way I like to curl my hair!)

I think as a whole this hair colour is definitely up there in my top 3, I regularly wear my hair in a bun, the transition of colours from my fringe into the swirl of the bun is just amazing and I have received so many compliments on this hair colour! 

If you need a new do, look no further then the Toni and Guy Hull (WOW that rhymed) (Kim hit me up, I think we have a jingle in there somewhere..). I swear, they will sort you right out and you'll wonder why you've never knocked on there door before! 

This particular post has been sat in the ‘Notes’ section on my phone for several weeks now, I wrote it just after my birthday, and I guess today something within me finally clicked, maybe it’s the beginning of a new month or the turn of a new season, or maybe Liam Gallagher's new single has seriously struck a cord with me, whatever it is, I decided it was time to air my thoughts and move on;
How long is too long? 



For a girl who found it easier to get on with boys throughout her childhood/teens you can probably guess were my troubles started. My own stupid naivety often got the better of me and these ‘boy friends’ were only ever friends, whom I adored whole heartedly, just in a way that was never enough. I have lost more then my fair share of friends throughout the years and I still have memories stashed away from each and every one of them. I still see some of these people today out and about and it doesn’t get easier, the loss of a friendship is a strange one, no one ever really sees it coming, and no one ever really knows how they will react to it. I reacted to one in a particularly bad way, and if you’re reading this now, I am very sorry, I should have swallowed my own pride when I had the chance, but I didn’t, I responded in a way that was cruel and unintentional, words often betray their user and if I could take it back, I would, but I can’t, so we live and we learn, and I’ll tell you something, I have dealt with things far better since that day, with much more consideration and deliberation about the other person, and that is all down to you. I have not made it easy, I have thought about myself and my own needs time and time again, but, my own needs no longer come into it and with that in mind this is me finally accepting the loss of a friendship that will never be the same, and this is me finally letting it lie, something I should have done a lot sooner.
