Teenagexvanity:
Thanks for the info about Taz salon..havent visited the blonde hair thread in a while lol Taz was actually one of the places I considered going to, but never did because I heard bad reviews about it. People being really stuck up, rude,looking down their nose at you etc that type of thing. Typical Yorkville attitude. Not my type of scene anyway.
I actually ended up going to a Russian salon in a totally different location, and my hair came out better than I've had it before. Not expensive at all. No sessions or anything for me.
Some thin highlights concentrated on the ends of the hair, and I'm blonde again! It was so quick too, I only had the "lightener" as my stylist said " it's not bleach, we say lightener" haha put on for about 15 minutes.
It's started to grow out now, as this was a few months ago, but it looks better now than even when it was first done.
vary natural looking.
Hey kissablekae, I read your post just a moment ago.
I know you really loved your blonde hair, but I must say the change can't be THAT bad. Your hair is naturally very very dark basically black (as everyone will see it as black colured hair even if it is as you say, dark brown) and your natural colour is probably darker than even what you have now maybe like a level 1 or 2 so I dont know how the new change wouldn't suit you. It's still lighter than your natural colour. It'll lighten up after its been washed a few times anyway.
Personally prefer you with darker hair from your previous photos in the brunette thread, goes with your jet black eye colour and dark brows. You have a very exotic look. Embrace it I say!
Maybe it's not what you wanted, we've all been there, but it probably looks nicer than your giving it credit for right now. Plus, it'll fade after a few washes and may lighten up to be the colour you wanted initially. Then by the time the new roots come in, it'll be ok to be lightened again, if thats what you want when the time comes.
I know this isn't your opinion, as youve stated before you dont care, I personally think and I think more people than not would agree, that your skin tone and hair/eye colour in fact is more suited to darker colours. Which is maybe why the hairdresser screwed it up.Its just a thought.
I mean the pictures of these nordic/russian type girls you keep posting photos of do have gorgeous hair, but they have very different skin tone, facial bone structure, eye colour hair colour, hair type, etc from you, so comparing yourself to them must be frustrating after a while, because your looks are just totally different.
Dont think you suit or pass off the "cool swedish blonde" look as you do darker shades of colour, even yes the dreadful RED!
The blonde didn't look bad or anything,your lucky you have naturally thick, coarse head of hair that protected it from being fried!
just think it would look nicer if it were more believable, less circus-y.
You just have a very exotic ethnic look , and I find that going that light, sort of takes away from it, i dunno the blonde just isn't right. Even when you had it your 'ashiest" it still just looked like it was yellow/light orange(still many yellow tones) with a purplish/sort of grey dull overtone, but still not "ash" coloured.
Not shiny like your natural colour. You have good skin with no acne, marks, scars, so dark hair really emphasizes this. Sort of like the Geisha look.
I've seen many east asian girls here in Toronto who have blonde hair, but it just never to me, looks as nice as black or a dark shade of brown or red, or even blonde highlights, or anything but all over solid blonde lol I know I'm not the only one who agrees either because I've seen more than once a dyed blonde asian girl get harassed or teased by someone passing by.
Anyway hope you dont take offence to my opinion, it's just an observation.
Not trying to get anyone mad or anything. I'm allowed to speak my mind too.
Who knows, maybe the darker hair colour will end up being a good thing.
Take care
