Friends your opinions please. :)

I didn't want to steal Nat's thunder by posting this in her thread so I made my own.

I'm long over due for a touch up to my hair so I've booked an appointment for next week.

I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do as far as colour I just wanted to see if anyone else had suggestions, or think I should just go with what I've chosen so far.

Anyway I'm getting colour, usually just a bunch of highlights and lowlights done, and then just a spiff up of my layers and bangs.

So here are the two pictures I was thinking of going off of. #1 for the colour and #2 for the bangs.

PS: I know I said friends but anyone can contribute if they like. :)

I like the first color but go for the second picture's bangs. Your features are really soft and that extra bit of drama (of the bangs in the first one) will throw it off.

[t-skywalker]

i totally agree^^ with what she said

[veN]

Hot!!! Either or a combo of the both would look beyond rad on you dear =)

Yah that's what I was going for. The colour in the first pic and the bangs in the second picture. I pretty much have those bangs already I just need to get them cut because they are in my eyes. :P

^ Lauren, I must say I love you with bangs, it plays up your cheekbones and gives you more definition and character.

I think with your face shape and your skintone, you shouldn't go too light of a color, at least surrounding your face. You can go lighter, but keep it a little bit darker/natural on the parts that frame your face. You are very fair skinned and your features are softer/rounder and I find in my experience, dying your hair too light around your face, takes away definition.

Hahaha I could probably talk hair all day.

I was thinking of going a little lighter for the summer, but not overboard. That's why I went with the multi tonal look. I've been enjoying the extra texture lately, as I have done the super blond all through high school.
It was pretty bad blond at times haha :P

I've dyed my hair lots of colours and found the blond worked well, but I agree to much around the face does kind of wash me out.

Blond is good for summer, especially if your tanned. Than darken it in the fall. I too also like the second ones cut a bit better and think it would suit your face more :)

[stabmyhead]

The multi tonal look of the first one will give the impression of texture without needing to cut it like the second cut. Personally I'm not a fan of the actual cut (minus the bangs) of the second one, as I find it looks a little country starish - could be the way it's volumized.

I remember seeing the yellow blonde in your hair before Lauren, and I wasn't a big fan of it to be honest. I think some ash blonde, sunkissed blonde and strawberry blonde will look pretty good. Summer is all about multi-tones and a very color kissed look.

Funny enough, I went back to dark hair like a week or so go. I miss the color kissed look though.

[Kandyapple]

Yah I think I'll steer clear of getting the whole cut as shown in the pic.
I'll probably just get the layers I have now cleaned up.
I've always been pretty cautious when it comes to cutting my hair.
I agree I don't want to go all over blond. In the past couple years I've always had layers, but I tend not to colour it for another 6 months so after a while it will all fade, and the different tones will become less prominent, which is probably the case when you saw my hair blond.
The most recent time I had my hair coloured I went with a much darker colour underneath to keep a bit of contrast in my hair, and also had more of my natural colour worked in so it looked less obvious when it grew out.

I think I'm going to keep some of the dark underneath this time, probably keep some of my natural colour on top, and then go with a light blond highlight, and a a bit of an auburn colour worked in as shown in the picture.

[Kandyapple]

So I got my hair done. The bangs are a little shorter then I like them, and the colour looks nice, but I find it takes a couple days before I get a real idea for what it's going to look like. so I may wait to post pics. :P

Your bangs will grow in very quickly. I think at most their shortness will bug you for a week or two.

[Kandyapple]

Yah I'm already getting used to them. I just want them a little bit longer so they don't look so flat when I blow dry them.

Anyway I decided to take a picture because I realize how much a tease that last post was.

[stabmyhead]

k, the file didn't load before! It looks awesome! I love the color, it's very much sun kissed highlights. Your bangs don't look short at all, what do you do to them?

[Kandyapple]

OK pics up now. :P

[Kandyapple]

I don't really do much to them. I just like to blow dry them really ummm puffy I guess so they have volume, but right now if I did that they would be even higher up on my head because the ends curl under.

[veN]

Looks great lauren!!
