the summer after my freshman year of college my hair went from black & white streaks with a little blue, to orange, to greyish, to dark brown- all mostly by accident. i was pretty fearless when it came to trying new things and my locks suffered. i’d get an idea, try it on myself -and whoever else was around, i owe some apologies- spend a few days trying to fix it- the cycle never ended.
until one day matt put his foot down. after kindly suggesting i wouldn’t look my best bald -and comforting me after i took it personally- he convinced me to shake on not dying my hair for an entire year. after a few months i got used to the idea that i was going to have boring -mousey brown sorta curly but mostly not- hair. i’d cut it periodically but usually just wore it up and ignored it.
no longer. it’s time for a change. no matter that with the thought of dye, anxiety creeps in. with matt’s support i’ve started looking around for ideas and rekindling my old creativity- but matt says we should pay a professional, we’ll see. anyway, here is a little inspiration board i put together this afternoon:
i want to be able to rock the professional hair as needed but for everyday it needs to be fun. low maintenance. interesting. matt questioned me about the purple but if it’s in the right areas i’ll be able to hide it as needed- i think he’s convinced. anyway, what have you done? what would you never do again? i guess i’m asking for suggestions. i don’t want to be bald!*
*but i do love bald people.
I’m with Matt…let the pros do it, and keep in mind your “winter skin color.” Oh, and I love bald people too ;-)!
I love the photo on the bottom left :D I agree, stick to letting the pros do their thing. And I think if you want to put a little color in your hair, why not? It can be tastefully done! “Professional” is more of a character/personality/actions thing than a hair color thing anyway!
kathy* winter skin color, good call! i’ll consider that.
lauren* amen sista! professional can mean whatever i want it to! i needed that reminder! :)
Love your ideas! So cute! You should go to Rachelle! She’s super reasonable and totally understanding of what “look” you’re going for. She’s not afraid to get a little funky but always makes sure she knows what your comfortable with:) Her digits: 678-852-8036 Hit her up!:)
update* i’m totally going to rachelle TOMORROW! i cannot even wait!!
this post made my day. Me, you, Bry Bry, History of Rock and Roll…sigh.
Anyways, what did you decide to do?? Can’t wait.
i love your hair with the blond streak in the front…takes me back to when we first met you! :)
katie* oh good times. brybry went blueish, you went red, i went green tipped. we were nuts.
jamie* i’m glad that even with the crazy blonde streak you welcomed me! :)
