I'm having a bit of a dilemma with my hair. Me and my long locks have a love/hate relationship. On the one hand I love that it's long and I secretly (well not so secretly now) love that people are envious of its length and colour. But on the other hand I am so bored of it. I don't think I can bring myself to cut it short so the only thing left to do is dye it.
I don't know what to do. I love being blonde, I think it's what makes me me in some ways. But I've been blonde for so long that I'm just fed up of it. I've been every shade of blonde from gingery to white and never really settled on any particular colour. At one point last year I was so bored of being blonde that I dyed my hair the most horrendous brown and cried about it for weeks. But that's not put me off entirely of going darker, it's just a terrifying thought. I'm undecided whether to go lighter blonde and get rid of my gingery strands, an auburn/dark brown or to go completely crazy and dye it a pastel colour. I've collected some imagery together from Pinterest and Tumblr to try and help myself decide and all it's done is make myself more confused.
I need some help. Do you think I would look strange not being blonde? Have any of you made a drastic hair colour change and hated/loved it? My friends at college have been saying recently I should dye my hair dark brown and get a full fringe. Talk about a change! I'm so unsure about what to do. What scares me most about going darker is that if I don't like it, it will take many months of ginger shades to get back to a blonde that I like. Help help help.
Whilst it is only hair, wanting a change but not knowing what to get can be so daunting! I love the icy blonde with pastel lilac tips, but then I also think a sunkissed brunette/blonde like Cara Delevingne would look lovely too! x
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking along the lines of the lilac tips... Hmm. X
DeleteSuch a lovely post! :)

I think you should go for a pastel colour first for several reasons - one, you're already blonde and it won't mean drastic amounts of bleaching/damage etc to get a pastel. Two, pastels can be washed out reeeeally easily if you don't like them - dark brown, not so much! Three, you are probably at a point in your life where you can have any colour hair whereas in the future you might not be able to due to your job etc. You could pull off dark hair I think but I think you'd suit being a light colour more :) xxx
ReplyDeleteThat is so truuuue, I've actually just ordered some lavender dye so I might just dip dye it for now :) x
Deletei'm having the same dilemma, feel like i need to dye my hair but not sure what colour ahh! definitely do a pastel colour as your blonde you've got so many choices which won't damage your long hair! that pastel coral/pink colour in the top collage is such a lovely colour!!

I know I lovvve that colour. I think pastel is definitely the way to go! xx
DeleteI personally think having a change in hair style is like, mondo fun! If you go a pastel shade then at least if you don't like it you can bleach it out easy enough...
ReplyDeleteI might be baised on the un-natural hair colour front though :P

This is true, it's less hassle to get rid of the BROWN.
