Lady Friends!!

Question.
I am bored of my hair.
I haven't coloured it in two years.
I kinda want to do it again like I used to - lowlights about 2 shades darker than my natural, and highlights about 2 shades lighter than my natural.

Yes/No?
Can you even tell that I haven't been colouring it?

I can't decide if I should bother - I want a bit of a change and it helps my roots from getting too greasy, the down side is that it dries out my ends.

Sooooooo help me decide dangit!!

Go for it!

You have naturally beautifully coloured hair, but I know what it's like to be bored. Should the upkeep or damage prove too much, just set it back to your natural colour.

[galaxie]

^ Well we all know that I could dye it black and eventually it would just faaaaaaaade back to darkish blonde, lol.
I just don't know if it's worth the $200 if it's not even noticable, y'know? I don't have any pics on my comp of when I used to colour it, either, so I can't even compare!

Wait, you might have pics, yes?

[veN]

^ I will look right now.

I get what you're saying. What you're gonna do isn't so extreme, it's more of an enhancement. Def worth weighing the cost, and management of it before doing it.

Why not? Your hair will always grow back and its easy to change it. Have you ever thought about going really dark? I LOVE my really dark hair and find going a darker brown is more fun and exotic than something in the middle. Plus its cheaper with just one colour than with highlights and foils. And if you already have highlights then a solid colour should also naturally highlight with it :) You already make a hot blonde, but I think you could also make a hot dark brunet. eh?

^ haha you know how much I like change
I DON'T
If I went really dark I would flip and Tim would lose his mind!

[dj outrayjus]

ya just do it its fun to do that stuff

natters - i think that you should do low-lights, but go a bit darker with the streaks, take a bit of a leap and add in some dark streaks. that way it isn't much of a drastic change...

ps - you should just make a private group on fb so it keeps the peanut gallery to a dull roar.

blonde
I used to go a bit darker, but it would always just fade back. Same with the lighter highlights.

natural colour:

[ash1ee]

i'd kill for your hair color.
keeeeeeeeep it!!!!
the sun will lighten it enough to give you a change!

[Tea]

i remember when did the streaks of two tones it looked awesome
i love you darker because it compliments those steel blues
but with the sunlight your hair is bound to change, imagine how blond it will get in Florida sunlight..maybe wait till fall?

[galaxie]

^ yeah that is so true
if I go darker it will fade so fast in Miami =\

and auburn is a HELL NO
I did that once when I was younger and it looked brutal - my skin tone doesn't really compliment anything TOO reddish, but I have a natural strawberry tint in my hair

[Courtney]

i really do like it natural
natural blondes are hard to come by and not many people have your colour...its unique...
and dying it will just be extra expenses and annoying roots etc.

[galaxie]

ALRIGHT
So I decided not to colour it.
But, I got it cut. I'm not sure if I like the bangs, so I need your opinions. I kind of like it right now, but I kind of want to get the full bangs, so:

[diva]

full bangs
for sure

[stabmyhead]

Your hair cut and face shape wouldn't really suit full on bangs as much as side swept bangs. Personally, I like your hair better without any bangs at all, I feel it suits you better. However, full on bangs can be easily side swept. When I went to the hair stylist, I asked for short side swept bangs but got bored while fixing my bangs and ended up cutting them into full on bangs - which I ended up loving! I've never seen you with full on bangs so you never know.

[galaxie]

^ I had full bangs until I was 17.
Annnnnnnnnd now I have them again.
You wouldn't know it, but I have a ginormous forehead (I'm talking Tyra Banks style) and mussssssst have bangs to hide it. lol.

I ended up going back to the stylist already and she chopped them! Horrah!

[Lush]

I think the bangs are lovely, good choice on sticking to your natural hair colour.
Trust me, just think of how many girls go to extreme lengths to process their hair and make it lighter. Your natural colour is gorgeous.

This thread doesn't have as many lesbian acts as one would hope. I find it very misleading. Please correct.
