Changes are good...even when it's the color of your hair...sometimes.

Soo...i recently had blonde hair, thinking it would "lighten up my face" in the cold, rigid months of fall and winter. However, what I came to realize was that blonde MUST have been a stage in earlier years that was acceptable ( i met my husband when i was blonde), and now is less than agreeable. So, i decided to go back to my very plain, yet lovely light brown hair with natural red undertones. The thing is...i'm also pregnant, (32 weeks today actually!)...which means that there are special hormones floating around my body that change things quite a bit. And technically you're not "recommedned" to dye your hair while pregnant, except that if you're in a well ventilated area (which i was), so why not feel beautiful during my pregnancy? Anyway. The first batch of color was a selected "light ash brown." Wwll, bolg followers...That left a lovely gray hue that made me feel anciently old annnnd pregnant. Old lady? I'm not ready yet! Then i decided to go with a warmer tone to balance out the ash, which works fine, that's the act of neutralizing...and this, my friends is what i've been left with; a very sensible, natural tone. I'm quite contented with the results, and feel so much more "at home" in a brown hue.
Well friends, let the lesson be learned. Don't change the color of your hair unless you're absolutely sure an have allowed optimal time, say at least 1 year, to really consider that change!!

Gracias!

  1. I love this pic of you! I agree about the seasonal hair color...if there's one thing I learned from beauty school, it's that desires for color go up and down! And it can be fun (for a second). I LOVE YOU
