The Magical Hair Color Tour

Man, I love Hair Thursdays, but can we jump back to the hair color poll? From the looks of my highly scientific survey, approximately two-thirds of you color your hair. That seems like a realistic number to me.

(It’s much more realistic than 78%, mind you.)

(Yes, there is a huge difference between 62% and 78%.)

(You know what? Leave me alone.)

However, after reading your comments, it has come to my attention that I may have misled you into thinking my hair has experienced nothing but pure chaste in the past 32 years. This could not be more untrue, as you will soon bear witness. After spending a good portion of my afternoon perusing through my old yellow box of photos, I give you this:

Whoorl’s Magical Hair Color Tour

It all started here, with a few subtle caramel highlights. Natural looking, yes?

I’m bored. Let’s take it up a notch and add a little more here and there.

Still brown, though. Kind of.

Time to touch up those roots! Oh, I have a great idea! While touching up, let’s just have my stylist run even MORE highlights through what’s left of my virgin hair. Brilliant!

Officially NOT a brunette.

We give thanks for this cornucopia of color. Just not on Whoorl’s head.

Okay, the blond has to stop. Let’s take it to a nice shade of reddish brownish something. I know! Dark butternut squash meets a kumquat! Tantalizing!

This color could have been the reason for the massive beer consumption.

Let’s go back to brunette. Except not just any brunette, an reddish brunette! Oh hell, throw some auburn in while you’re at it!

Do you hear something? Why, I think it’s the sound of my hair weeping! It’s being beaten into submission by my crimson lipstick!

The best color yet!

Kidding. That’s a wig.

You know, I’m sick of all this crap. I’m a serious person, with serious needs and serious thoughts. Seriously. Let’s take it all the way to the end of the spectrum.

Look, it’s shiny! Yet goth! Shoth!

As you can see from this riveting photo essay, I have been quite a hair color slut. (Just like 62% of you!) Let’s hug it out.

    Long time reader, first time commenter. I want the hairstyle in the fourth picture with the color of the last picture. That is my dream hair. I’m not sure what to call it. Shothavy? Wavyshoth? Whatever it is, I want it.

    Bwah! What a trip down memory lane those were. I had forgotten the days of blonde Whoorl. Good times, good times.

    I missed the survey, but you can add me as a yes. I was sworn not to until a stylist sort of insisted and then it was off to the races.

    Now I do it myself since I am an all-one-color gal. The other day I was at the store and a woman had her cart in the way of the hair color and she said “Oh, let me move that.” I said, “Oh, no problem. It is going to take me a while to remember what my hair color is.”

    It doesn’t matter what color it is, I just want my hair to look beautiful, shiny and smooth like yours always does! Much jealousy!

    Whoorl, you are ridiculously gorgeous. Even with a myriad of hair colors (and btw, I love the blonde!)

    And yes, I also want the hairstyle in pic 4. Very pretty!

    I like the Shoth one too. SHOTH!

    The shoth was actually a mistake made by my hairstylist. She left the color on too long, resulting in a dark dark dark. It looked horrid on me. Hey, but thanks!

    You kill me how you look good in every freaking one! I have figured out – through painful trial and error – that there is one color range for me. Brown.

    It’s so not fair. You look fantastic with every colour. Do you never take a bad picture or look bad in anything (not that you would post bad pics)?

    The blond, tannish you (well, at least it looks that way in the picture) is such a lesson in why maybe it’s not such a wonderful idea to do what every huge pop singer does, no matter how hot they look when they’re dancing with a snake.

    You still look great, of course (God, of COURSE) but soooo much less distinct. It’s amazing how a few tonal changes can turn you from Beautiful Unique Snowflake Girl to EveryPrettyGirl, USA (population: three billion). And it’s not that you don’t look great either way. It’s more as if our brains just see tan and blond and can’t process other features, so busy are we triumphantly lining you up with our Hollywood/news anchorwoman template and celebrating our processing skills.

    Anyway, congratulations on arriving at the lowest-maintenance color of all. Which also happens to be the nicest. Which is precisely why you sort of suck, FYI.

    I adore your comments. Seriously, I am going to create a book that solely contains your perfect wisdom.

    And THAT, in combination with your roller girl persona and unique curling iron technique, is precisely why you sort of suck.

    p.s. – I’ve been prancing around the house singing, “Beautiful Unique Snowflake Girl, Snowflake Giiiiirrrrrrrrrl” all morning.

    Okay, please don’t go GOTH again … harsh!

    I KNOW! My stylist left the color on too long. It was HORRIBLE.

    While I agree with everyone that you really do look hot in any colour (Because you do!), your current style/colour is the best of all :)

    I am getting old, I had forgotten most of those colors!

    Mom, I think it’s more like you mentally blocked them out.

    You look great no matter what colour. I especially like the pinky-wiggy doo. This from a Chinese girl who’s worn her hair purple, blue-black, blonde, orange and red (though not all these hues at once). So what do I know ?
