Lately I have been thinking... Maybe I should go blonde.
Don't worry, not platinum blonde just a dirty blonde! But I need some help deciding on what I should do or if I should even do it!
Let me first explain some of my reasons. I have VERY fine strands of hair and not a ton of it. What this means is that no matter how much product I put in it and how much I tease it my hair lays extremely flat or looks ratty. I love my dark hair but if I have any kind of bad hair day with a weird part or a cowlick you can see my pale skin on my head. I know... gross right?! So I was doing some online research trying to figure out how to help with this and everything I found said that lighter hair allows for less of a contrast in the color of your skin to your hair making the skin less noticeable. So I was thinking I would try it out.
Now my hair was a dirty blonde as a child and when I spent a lot of time in the pool during the summer it would actually turn pretty blonde. Here is a picture of more of my natural hair color as of most recent.
I want to say this was from day 3 of our honeymoon. So my color had been basically stripped from the salt water and the sun hadn't affected it too much yet.
I want to say this one is from day 5.... so the sun had definitely had an impact on it. lol
Here are some pictures of what I'm thinking about doing. There are two options. An overall color or one with highlights.
Option 1:
Dirty blonde with brown low lights around the base.
I love how it has some of the darker color still in it so I wouldn't be having a drastic blonde change and I feel like I wouldn't have to worry as much about the up keep. If I had to wait an extra week or two between colors it wouldn't be ridiculously obvious. My only fear with this look is that I have to have a "natural" look to my hair with my job. Is this a natural enough look?
Option 2:
All over color
I love both of these. They are the same person so I'm sure they are the same color one is just lit a little different. This would be the same color basically all over so it would definitely be natural looking in that since. I'm just not sure i'm ready to be this blonde. And a lot of times the high lights and low lights can add some depth to your hair that an all over color can't. Which is my problem... thin hair with no depth. haha
I need some suggestions!
