Princess of Darkness: A New Fall Hairstyle
My hair has been the topic of several recent posts. This time the changes are a little more permanent than the Bumpit.
About two years ago, I’d found a great ad featuring a girl with long, layered curly hair. At first, the cut really worked for me, but over time something went awry and it ended up misshapen with a really weird bottom layer in the back. I also felt my blonde highlights were getting to be too much of a good thing, especially at this time of year. When my hair appointment rolled around on Thursday, I decided a new look was in order.
The cut turned out great. The color … not so much. I went from about three shades lighter than my natural color to about four shades darker. I waffle between thinking it looks pretty to thinking it looks a little ridiculous (and the pic below really doesn’t do the darkness justice). The good news is that it will wash out with time.

OMG I love it!!!!!!! The dark looks great too! I always feel that way after I go dark after my summerness has gotten “washed out” looking. But after a week or so – you won’t even realize that it’s dark anymore! It’s so natural looking on your pretty skin!!!

The darker color really makes your eyes stand out. Also, if your highlights are like mine, they’ll start peeking through in a few weeks.

I love it, Amber! It really is a good color on you! Makes your skin and eyes just radiate! Very pretty!
