BIG DAY.

Today was a big day. Why? (drum roll please....)

I went to a new hairstylist. HUGE, I know.

Ladies, you can relate. We all have our one thing that we will spend a stupid amount of money just so it can be perfect. Some people spend it on clothes, some spend it on shoes, some spend it on makeup, beer, food. Me, I spend it on my hair.

I've been putting off this day, dreading it, for two reasons: 1. I can no longer go to my stylist since she is now 250 miles from me. :( and 2. I have no money (Happy Early Birthday to ME!)

So I started shopping around, looking for someone's hair that I liked and then asked them where they got it done. Today I went to who I was referred to by. And she didn't disappoint. Thank God. You should have seen me before I went. Serious anxiety.

I went in with an idea, just add some lowlights. Got there, talked it out with her, and came out with something totally different- full dye, rehighlight, tone- a PROCESS. I'm such a sucker for persuasion- but I trusted her and I'm glad I did. I love how it came out and it's perfect for the season. We tried to come up with a name for it- nothin'. I'll leave you with rich, warm, chocolatey brown with a hint of caramel honey. When I look close I can see red in there too, made me a little nervous, but it works. The dark will take a little getting used to but it makes 'dem baby blues POP!

So Blonde, it was fun having you around. You'll be back again. But in the meantime, Brunette you are HOT  this season and I missed you! Let's go have some fun.

(I don't like any of these pictures- it doesn't really do justice, but you can get an idea.)

It's been 8 weeks, nearly to the day, which means it's about time for me to get my hair done again. But it's such an awkward time of the year- Is it summer? Is it fall? This obviously governs the tone of the color hair I want to go for. So do I stick with the blonde highlights I have now for one more round and then go a little darker or do I start going darker now?

Or do I just go for something different. I am kinda feeling change. And not for nothing, it's hair.

So I have some ideas in mind. And this is where you come in.


I NEED your feedback and suggestions. 



Option 1: Summer isn't over yet! You still have a few more weeks and blondes have more fun, anyway (so they say). Stick with what you got, Brit.

(I've been told I look like Denise Richards a few times. I don't know if I see it, maybe the brown hair and blue eyes, but I thought she would help get an image right)

Option 2: Summer is winding down, start looking toward Fall. Keep the highlights, but just warm them up a bit.

Option 3: Just go for it. Go for a dark, warm chocolate brown. Solid, no highlights, au natural- and it'll make your eyes pop.

Option 4: Do something different. Experiment. Try out the new trend, "ombre hair". It's the best of both worlds- a little dark, a little light. What couldn't be perfect about it?

Your turn.

Ready?

Set.

Go!
