i know i've written before about how i started dyeing my hair when i was a wee lass of 11. and i've also written about how i continued to dye my hair every natural and non-natural color under the rainbow until i was about 20-21. so i will spare you those details.
however i have come to the point where i am ready to dye my hair again. the last six years have seen my natural chestnut color come into fruition and i have enjoyed it as well as the lack of maintenance and roots. well damn it all i say! i feel boring.
i got an idea about a year ago- or maybe even farther back- that what i want to do is put some chunky blonde streaks in here and there and cut longish, side-sweeping bangs ala anne bancroft in 'the graduate'. it's interesting while maintaining sophistication. cos i've realized lately that deep down i am sophisticated in my style. i just look better in cashmere and pashmina's- much to my chagrin, but i'm getting over it.
you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a good picture of anne's hair though! all i'm coming up with is stuff like this:
now i'm thinking that i'm going to have to insist that my hairdresser watch 'the graduate' prior to my appointment, which is awkward to say the least as i've never used this person before. how do you tell someone you've never met to watch a movie to figure out how you want your hair?? you don't really.
oh the trials and tribulations of being me.
