Thoughts.
So, I had a slightly traumatic trip to the hair dressers this weekend. I've been super sick this year, mono, flu, food poisoning twice, possibly three times, multiple nasty colds, and I just got over my latest bout of summer flu a couple of days ago. All in all it kind of did a number on my hair. I had to get four inches cut off, and apparently that wasn't actually everything that was needed. HOWEVER, I haven't seriously cut my hair since I was twelve - I go in every six months and get everything trimmed and neatened, but my hair's blunt cut with no layers and usually doesn't give me any fuss.
Four inches is a big deal. Shush. Stop looking at me like I'm overreacting! =P. Anyway my hair went from past my hip bones to just brushing my waist and I realised - I've had the same hairstyle for years and years and years. I want a change.
Unfortunately my hair doesn't hold styles well, and I don't enjoy blow drying, so it'd have to be a fuss free style, which got me thinking - maybe I should just dye my hair another colour instead. Yes, I have blonde hair and apparently that's enviable, but my hair isn't a set colour - it's ash blonde up top and gradually blends down into light blonde at the roots, but I constantly have to spray the top to prevent it from looking like a super bad regrowth (I wear hats all summer and beanies all winter).
MOVING ON TO MY ORIGINAL POINT. Can I pull off strawberry blonde? Having blond hair has made me terrified of hair dye, and I'll never dye my hair brown or black, so I thought just a reddish tint might give it something a little more interesting. I don't know. I'm super indecisive about these sorts of things. It's why I buy clothes about once a year, and it's usually just a new pair of jeans.
Here is my hair as of christmas day. Admittedly I was having a freakishly good hair day volume wise, so it doesn't normally sit up quite so majestically, but you get a good idea of the colour. I have ash blonde eyebrows, which I THINK could hold up against a light reddish rinse. Maybe?
And here's my gimshophappyfuntimes.
The first is the colour I'm thinking of. I like the second, but I think it's a bit too big of a change to start off with. Plus I'm not quite sure what I'll do if I don't like it... I mean, could I dye my hair back to an approximation of it's natural colour or would the dye fade and the regrowth not look too awful, or what? Guh. I sometimes wish I'd inherited my fathers brown hair. At least if you go wrong with brown hair you can just dye it back to your original colour.
