I just prefer brown to blond (I was also a blond child, fwiw). I dye my own hair since I do not do any highlights. I have my stylist do a professional job every 6 months or so.<br /><br />Personally I am in love with silky smooth hair. Lightening your hair can be hard on it and make it feel more dry and coarse. Be sure to use good product if you go lighter. And definitely, definitely use a stylist (esp for highlights).Clairnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734712521038551440.post-30008686636615175752011-05-27T08:10:00.095-04:002011-05-27T08:10:00.095-04:00I did it once.

I am pretty much naturally light mousey brown or dark blonde known affectionately (NOT) as "dishwater" blonde. Now I am getting (lots) grey but it is sort of "blonde" so I am coloring far less, and I love that.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14779640631273346103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734712521038551440.post-19192139386413400842011-05-26T15:50:01.350-04:002011-05-26T15:50:01.350-04:00okay- I seriously just wrote the longest comment i...okay- I seriously just wrote the longest comment in the history of blogging, and then my internet connection bonked right as I posted it. grrr! the gist was this:<br /><br />DO NOT DO IT YOURSELF!! I cannot stress this enough! As someone who just went from very dark brunette to blonde I am telling you that this is one area you do not want to skimp on. Find a very good stylist that you really like to work with and trust and that really knows what she is doing. The results will be better and it will save you $ down the road because you won't have to fix any mistakes.<br /><br />If you want, email me and I will be happy to give you all the details of how my colorist took me blonde and what my maintenance schedule is like. Which is what I did originally, but don't really feel like retyping all over again.<br /><br />also - congrats on losing all the weight - we are so similar: we had our 3rd kids close to the same time, we are totally in the same boat with the last 20lbs, and now we are both going to be blondes!lonek8https://www.blogger.com/profile/09217503506508289374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734712521038551440.post-32147140917184089192011-05-26T13:54:09.662-04:002011-05-26T13:54:09.662-04:00Do NOT do it yourself!
This is one of those times...Do NOT do it yourself!<br /><br />This is one of those times that you should really pay someone who know what they're doing.

I'm always fussing with my hair and looked like everything from a pale and supposedly 'interesting' red Nicole Kidman (seemed like a good idea at the time) to a vampish Kate Beckinsale in Van Seling too (seemed equally like a good idea too) And I've also had highlights put in at one stage another too! I won't tell you how many different lengths/styles/cuts I 've been over the years either! So as you can tell I'm an advocate of change in the hair department.<br /><br />The only thing I will say is that once you start dyeing and highlighting...you have to keep on top of it or it can look awful. I spent a very long time wearing hats, attempting to tie hair back and re-dyeing to ... erm ...try (unsuccessfully) to ease the growing out/transition stage. I'd send you pictures as proof but I don't want to give you nightmares;-)<br /><br />Be sure to post what you decide!!Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10871152127418375592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734712521038551440.post-10494074134727556442011-05-26T10:27:40.536-04:002011-05-26T10:27:40.536-04:00Congrats on all that weight loss!

It really would look nice. The blonde might wash you out, it looks like we have similar coloring, and whenever I was blonde it just looked so washed out to me. But doing the sandy brown with highlights would look nice too :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02257116994452189132noreply@blogger.com
