New 'Do

I couldn't get the colors to come out right in my photo program(took them in the bathroom mirror- no flash) so I changed them to B&W. I did get my hair colored though.

Salon Saturday

A few weeks ago I posted about doing something drastic. I erased it nearly right afterwards because I started researching what I was thinking about and realized I wouldn't be able to it without a lot of maintenance. Maintenance that would cost me much moola.

So this is what I did instead...

BEFORE:


AFTER:


My original plan was to go red. Well, more auburn than red. Instead I went back to my roots and ended up with a more chocolatey color, actually called cinnamon. It will take some getting used to but I really like it. I think my eyes really pop. The best part is that my stylist/colorist knows what it's like to be a mom and not have a lot of money and pointed me in the right direction for touch ups from a box. I did splurge and get a good shampoo though so this doesn't fade too fast. I know it may take a few times to *take*.

What do you think??

Holy thunderstorm!

I got soaked today. It started pouring just before I was supposed to leave the salon today. The electricity went out so we decided to forgo the hairdry as I was going to get wet anyway plus we didn't want to get electrocuted. The stylist let me borrow one of their big umbrellas but the rain was coming down at such an angle and the wind was blowing so much that I had to hold the thing sideways to keep from getting wet. The entire bottom half of me still got wet though! I drove home thru flooded streets- that's how hard and fast it was coming down.

I got home and dried off and had to check out my hair. I'm blonde again! I didn't expect her to go so light. She did all over highlights. I really don't like the cut though. She said she followed my old cut and just took off the razored edges but now the layers are just blunt and ugly so I'm going to have to call her and see what she can do. It's not going to be worth the discounted rate (half of what I was paying at my other stylist) if I don't like the cut. I'll have to update on that later!
