A reward for those of you up and at ’em before 2:30pm today: You get to have a say in choosing my hair colour!
Here’s an old picture of my hair. It’s currently got much more blonde and caramel colours through it, but I don’t have any more recent pictures on webspace anywhere. At least you’ve got some idea of the style and natural colour. And my pasty complexion. And how messy my room was that day.
What I’m thinking is maybe putting some dark auburn streaks in amongst the blonde. That might look cool. Or dumb. It’s up to you.
Suggestions that will be promptly ignored:
-Changing the style. I’m not growing it out, or cutting it shorter, or shaving my head, or cutting those ass ugly pixie bangs or whatever.
-Colouring it something unacceptably unnatural. No blue or green or purple. You like that stuff, do it to your own damn head.
-Colouring it generally darker. Just no. I will look dead. Or like Shannon Dougherty. And nobody needs to see that.
Other than that – let me have it! If I actually use someone’s suggestion, I promise I’ll show up to show it off at the bloggermeetup on Thursday night. Unless it turns out to look like ass. In which case, you will owe me a hat.
bah, i’m late for this. i think you should do the dark auburn streaks!
*checks the time* Ooh…maybe too late…
I vote red streaks. 🙂
I think you should go for something that’s very warm, somewhere in between “honey” and “strawberry blonde.” Just be really careful with red because it requires a change in the shades of makeup that you use, otherwise it can really wash you out. I would also stay away from the Meg Ryan blonde because it takes too much maintenance.
I’m not actually a fan of the obvious highlights or lowlights. I think something that has a natural range of shades looks best, and warmest. You’ve got a great, warm smile and I think your hair should have warm tones too.
Well, lets review the options.
1) No style changes, so basically what we have now is it.
2) Colour, we have yellow, orange and red left of the available colour spectrum.
3) Not darker than what’s current.
I’ve always wanted to call someone TangerineHead.
Do you see where I am going with this? 🙂
*runs and ducks*
I am a huge fan of lowlights, vs. highlights. This isn’t just because I look better with darker hair. (Don’t ask why I just got blonde highlights put in, I never claimed to be consistent.) But *everybody* does highlights (me included!), so lowlights just look neat.
I am profoundly unqualified to offer suggestions. My only comment would be this–I’m not a fan of bangs, generally. Particularly those that are cut straight-across in a Audrey Tatou in ‘Amelie’ (or, even worse, Vivienne Benesch in ‘American Splendor’). I’m generally a fan of the streaks, and those seem to be par for the fashion course this days.
That’s very little help, I realize, but as I mentioned, I’m unqualified.
