My natural hair color is dark blonde. When I was younger, I had gorgeous bright blonde curly locks and as I got older, my hair darkened so I started to get highlights. As anyone who's ever maintained highlights knows... it's expensive and a little bit of a pain in the ass! lol
Au-Naturale:
Not so au-naturale:
My roots grew out wayyyyyy too long (yes, I'm guilty) so I went to the store and bought a color called "light brown" as an attempt to match my roots. The color should've been named "crap-nasty burnt orange tinted brown" ...
I went to visit a friend who went to cosmetology school to see if she could help me achieve exactly what I was looking for... She took me to Sally's and we picked up a color called "Dark Neutral Blonde" and a 99cent packet of this powder called "UNRED" (the name is self explanatory) and she got to work.
This is the result:
I actually love it! It's a red/brown color and I've always wanted to play around with a red shade. This color was a total accident but thankfully - the hair gods were merciful on me! (I mean, I put "dark blonde" on "light brown" which could've been a total disaster for only being 1 week apart)
I can tell you right now that I will end up back blonde... it's just a matter of time. lol For right now, I'm going to enjoy this shade for as long as it lasts :)
If you could pick any hair color to be what would you choose?

My hair is the same--was thick and blonde and wavy as a kid, and now it's dishwater blonde (oh, the fate of blondes as we grow up!). I've been highlighting it for years (highlights + lowlights), but haven't done a single thing to it in almost a year, and think I may stick to its natural color for a while . . . mostly cause I just want it to be healthy again!
Your new shade looks really cute, btw!
Oh, I love it!! It looks good on you!
I have naturally red hair, but as I get older it gets darker and darker. I wish I could naturally be auburn/strawberry blond! That would be perfect!
cute, that color suits you well! I have red hair and unfortunately it does not take dye very well at all! I would love to try a blond for fun but my husband would kill me. hehe.
Wish I could dye my hair but it's way to dark and I will surely damage it maintaining it. I wish it were a lighter brown though. I'm lovin your look!
I really like this color! You totally pull it off! I look awful as a brunette!
