Should i go blonde?

It's something i've been thinking about doing for a while and all this talk of hair colour is making me want to do it even more.

I've tried black hair, red hair and brown hair. Blonde is the only one i haven't conquered.

I'm a little scared because dark brown to blonde is a big change but i have fair skin, light eyebrows and blue eyes so i don't think it would look too unnatural if i want for a natural looking colour.

And they do say blondes have more fun...

I'm not a fan of blonde hair, myself. But to each her own, obviously. My suggestion would be to go a "dirty" blonde (which is, apparently, an "in" look this year) rather than a really bleached blonde.

I'm really leaning towards wanting to get it done but then the cost pulls me back. I'd always be getting my roots done and it's a pricey buisness

I'd say if your skin is not too pale, go for it.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

I'd say no. Adding colour to darker hair is so easy, and looks so great, and I believe is no where near as hard on your hair as the bleaching you have to go through to go blonde. I get blonde highlights put in my hair to cover some of the (gasp) grey bits, but I've always wished I had brown hair and could just use one of those funky colours.

I guess I think blonde is boring, and dark hair is exciting. :biggrin:

Oh fabulous! So after all the years I've been lightening my drab 'dirty' blonde hair, now it's "in". Bleh. Bit late for me, I've got more grey silver than dirty blonde now.

going blond got Phyllis Diller an audition for the Spice Girls. It can't hurt.

She says she wants to make another road movie with Bob Hope called "Road to Cedars Sinai"

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Now i'm REALLY confused lol :lol2:

I do like the colour my hair is now (it was a dark red, but after so many washes the permanentcolour has faded slightly and it's now a really deep rich auburn) but i just fancy a change.

I was joking, by the way.

No activity since my smile-less post. I feel shunned.

Sorry... I've been busy cleaning out my disaster of a study. I'm only about halfway done, but the difference is miraculous.
