Hair



Back when I first moved to CA, long before I Mr X knew me, I went a little highlight crazy with my hair. I had so many blonde highlights that I was pretty much a dark blonde of sorts. Prior to that I had tried out the auburn look and jet black as well. After several years of meandering hair color I couldn't remember exactly what color my hair was, so I decided to gradually go 'Au Natural' before that natural color became gray. That was something like 7 years ago. Now it seems the gray is starting to creep in enough that I can no longer simply pluck them out or I'd look bald-ish.





So I decided to play around with some new looks and see what styles and color I liked. Here are a few of my attempts:





How does this auburn color do on me?


How about a nice medium blonde? Could I pull that off or is it just weird?


What if I just tried a a lighter brown with lots of blonde highlights?

Or is dark brown with highlights the way to go?


What if I tried to pull off a really light blonde look?


Or maybe I should just keep my color natural and simply stop getting my hair straightened?

Okay how fun to get to see what you would look like with so many different hair styles and colors. How did you do that? I personally like the dark brown with highlights..or without, which would be exactly how it is now:)

Haha! I was just talking to a friend the other day about how I don't think too many people can pull of "red" hair. When I saw the first pic, I was very taken aback! You look HOTTTT! I definately like the first one, then the second.
What's your favorite?
