IT IS TIME.

The year is drawing to a close, which means my time at Hallam is as wellhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">

This means that it& #39;s time to look at all of my trims from the past few years.

Some were good. Some were even better. Let& #39;s get into this tale of hair dye and dodgy cuts... https://twitter.com/MrDevTeaching/status/1198007919549308928">https://twitter.com/MrDevTeac...
1. HALLAM HERE I COME.

Wasn& #39;t bothered about how I looked. Simple. Short. Got the job done. As long as my hair wasn& #39;t in my eyes, the world was fine.

2/10. No creativity. No flair. Oh how this was to change...

(P.S - this was my passport photo, hence the piercing stare.)
2. CURTAINS 1.0.

I got into fashion a bit more - not that you could tell from the dodgy outfit. Started to grow my hair out just before BP1 to try and give myself some room to test things.

3.5/10. Didn& #39;t know how to properly style it, looked awful 80% of the time.
3. DYE, DYE, DYE.

Finished BP1? Treat yourself bye dying your hair for a laugh. Went for a pastel purple, which I loved - until it washed out in a week. Ended up becoming blonde for the first time since I was 3 years old.

5/10. When done nicely, it banged. Similar to current.
4. DISASTER.

Summer 2018. Harry Kane scoring pen& #39;s for fun. Southgate eliminates social tensions for 3 weeks. Dan dyes his hair turquoise for a laugh. Turns green after a week. Doesn& #39;t come out for 2 months.

3/10. Bumped up a point due to sun, cerveza and Southgate.
5. BACK IN BLONDE.

The green eventually comes out. Decide to just let my hair do it& #39;s own thing, leaving my roots to grow out for the rest of summer. By the September, it can be put in a ponytail.

6/10. Relatively clean and normal, compared to what was about to happen...
6. PURPLE RAIN.

Let& #39;s start BA2 off normally eh? NO. Get your sen a box dye and do the whole lot purple. Immediate regret. Walking around like a human Cadbury& #39;s commercial. Cited as one of the reasons my ex left me.

6/10. I low-key loved it to be fair. But it killed my hair.
7. SEMI-NORMALITY RESUMES.

Let& #39;s get rid of the purple, we& #39;ve got a placement soon. Go for the bleach blonde/white approach. Hair was quite long by this point.

7/10. Was very happy with this look, but I did get bored which led to my worst decision yet...
8. TANGERINE DREAM?

New years day 2019. Let& #39;s start off with a bang. Walked into my burrito-crafting job looking like a 5 year old had been let loose with an orange highlighter. Took a solid 3 months to get out of my hair. Went Chelsea away looking like that.

1/10. Never again.
9. BACK IN BLONDE PT.2.

Hair has grown A LOT by this point. Allowed me to experiment. Plaits, bobbles, scrunchies. I did a lot of random things. The most fun time I& #39;ve had with my hair at this point.

8/10 due to the flexibility. Don& #39;t want to style it? Whack it in a bobble.
10. DA-BOO-DEE-DA-BOO-DYE.

BA2 done. Let& #39;s go crazy again. Went a step too far.

This was the beginning of the end, as I went through 3 dodgy hair cuts that all meant I needed it cutting shorter, and shorter...

2/10. Very fun, but it ruined the previous 2 years& #39; hard work...
11. THE FINAL CHOP.

Walk into the barbers. Picture on my phone, with a full 360 angle of the trim I wanted. Barber serves up the deadest trim I& #39;ve ever laid my eyes on. Had to hold back the tears when I put my glasses back on. I was left with 4mm of hair on top.

0/10. No words.
12. TIME FOR REBUILD.

With little sprinklings of green from the blue days, I was left with a monster mash of a trim. Started BA3 wearing a hat. Didn& #39;t take it off until November. The darkest days of my life. But I managed a few decent looks, plucked from regret.

4/10 at times.
13. PRESENT DAY.

Here we are today. 16/04/2020. Stuck in quarantine, with no barbers being open for the foreseeable. I am back at a decent level of hair, that I am happy with. I started BP1 trying to get good curtains. I ended BP3 with curtains.

8/10. My favourite trim of all.
So that& #39;s it. 2 more hand-ins, then I& #39;m done. I& #39;m off into the real world.

Where& #39;s the time gone, eh? Seems like yesterday that I met @MissGardner15 at the Forge, and was introduced to the wonderful institution that is @SHUEducation by @janestaceyshu.

I will miss it dearly.
As much as I haven& #39;t always seen it, I HAVE progressed. I CAN teach. I AM capable.

If the 2nd picture could speak to the 1st, he would tell him that there is no need to worry. You& #39;ll do fine. You& #39;ll try to quit at one point, but you will overcome it - then blossom.
Whatever grade I get, whatever job I end up in - it& #39;s all a bonus.

I have achieved a BA Hons in relationships that may outlive my legitimate degree.

Love you all @MrDavison2 @MissGardner15 @lottieelsadixon @MissGoodwin24 @eames_ellie + more who do not do teacher twitter...
Wow, getting a tad emotional. This all started by looking at my dead trims over the past few years.

Stay safe everyone xxx
