I'm a blonde at heart...





But not on my head!! I finally did it--I colored my hair and am now a brunette. It's very different, but I like it. It's a fun change for a while. Thank GOODNESS my friend Hotmama suggested not to buy a color any darker than light brown. It came out darker than I thought it would. I bought the kit that had a base color and then highlights to add. Again, thank GOODNESS for the highlights!! It makes it not quite so dark, especially around my face. Still a shock when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. But fun! Anyway, here are some pics of in process and then the end result. It's a good laugh! :) Oh, here's a little guide to the photos.
Photo 1: With the base color on. Yes, I dyed the eyebrows so I wouldn't look so fake. My brows are super blonde so I think this was a good idea. During the processing I looked like a Groucho Marx child.
Photo 2: The base color is done and I'm a little scared!!
Photo 3: OK, the highlights are on and I HOPE this works!
Photo 4: Not so bad, and that's a good thing since I'm stuck like this for a while.

so... I need a little clarification: is this some kind of temporary hair coloring product? Something that will wear off? It seems like everyone's (or should I say MY) hair darkens and becomes more mousey brown as they age, so I can't imagine PURPOSEFULLY taking beautiful blond hair and making it "light brown." Obviously I have my own issues to deal with here, so I guess you can just disregard my comment. :)

Great pictures, especially the Groucho one! I love the end result though, it turned out great and looks so natural!

You are so brave. I've always wanted to do something fun with my hair. The most I've ever done are a few highlights.

You look FABULOUS as a brunette!
