Yesterday, after 7 long years of follicular virginity, I jumped back into the world of hair color. Highlights, to be exact.
Okay, the verb “jump” might be a little too strong…let’s just say I dipped my toe into the proverbial water.
I am happy with my natural hair color, but MAN, it gets tough browsing through photos every week while writing these makeover posts. I was craving a little change. So I requested a few auburn highlights from my stylist. Actually, I think my exact words were, “Subtle. SUBTLE. I SWEAR TO JEBUS IF YOU GO OVERBOARD I WILL HURT YOU.”
(I’m so glad she puts up with my slight anxiety when it comes to these matters.)
She told me not to worry and re-introduced me to my old friend, the foil.
And voilá! Shiny, VERY subtle auburn highlights!
Yay! Let the summer games begin!

June 12, 2009 at 9:43 amYour hair looks great! But holy mother what I’m really writing in to say is that I was just on instyle.com and Kate Gosselin is all over the homepage with that hair!!!!

June 12, 2009 at 10:57 amI’m impressed at how well you styled your hair in the “before” shot — it’s very similar to the after shot. I can never get my hair to look remotely like the way my stylist will blow it out (even though I use the same products and brush, go figure).
Oh, that photo is from a looong time ago. (It’s actually the photo from my “stylist” page, and Tera had styled it that day too!)

June 12, 2009 at 11:55 amI would love to know how Tera colors her hair! Love the blonde shade she has. As a recovering brunette, now over 50% gray I am digging the blonde thing but have a hard time getting a good mix of highs and lows so it looks natural. Plus I live in South Dakota — kinda limits my options! :-)

June 12, 2009 at 3:34 pmThe highlights look fabulous and you, as usual, look simply gorgeous. I so need Hair Thursday help but I’m too shy to ask (and too nervous to let what I really look like get out there LOL)

Did anyone see Sandra Bullock on David Letterman last night ? I usually love her hair. It was longer than normal & there were these black roots under wings around her ears along with streaky blond highlights. It was very distracting to look at.

The highlights? Gorgeous.

June 15, 2009 at 3:37 pmHow can I locate this Tera? I am being a good girl and growing my hair out FOR REAL this time so that I have more raw material to work with for my next cut, and I would absolutely LOVE for Tera to do it for me!
