Grey hair first attempt

I know what you've all been thinking, how is Andrea going with her grey hair growth. Well I don't want to keep you up at night so here is update number
One.

I let it grow for about 8 weeks and because I had a perm, yes a perm, long story with an unhappy ending, it was in terrible condition so I decided to chop it off which I figured would help it grow out quicker and also get highlights and lowlights (my superstar hairdresser inLondon  reccomended this, shout out to Louisa) to blend  the grey with the one color, one dimension dark. I felt like I had two black curtains hanging either side of my head.
Below is a picture before my hair cut/colour.
Can I just take a minute to explain the styling? Olive had scratched my eyeball hence the need for sunglasses, I can't say why it just sounded like a good idea. And the gnormous plaster was because I had a massive zit of my own making that got out of control so I salvoned it up and put it in quarantine. 


And below is after. My hairdresser Bex, who comes to my house, put loads of highlights in it and cut it short. It covers the grey quite nicely and I figure ill just keep on highlighting and cutting until all the dark brown has gone. 
You can still see some grey which is quite cool looking with the highlights . Looking forward to more grey coming through. Excitement. 


You can also see how grey hair spiral up out of your head like pubes, not a good look.
