Tell me what to do with my hair. Kinda long and PIP heavy
Soooo. It's slow here. I'm bored at my new job because I don't have much to really DO yet. I'm also contemplating a major hair change. Help me out.
My hair has been long-ish and blond with side bangs for most of 2+ years.
Exhibit A (This is from a few weeks ago. I'm on the left in the blue-ish purple):
About a year and a half ago, I got a wild hair up my arse and decided to do something different and went a few shades darker than my natural color. I didn't like it and went back blonde after three weeks. I recently found some pics of the dark hair and don't hate it.
Exhibit B:
Anyway. So, now I kinda want to do dark, but maybe wit a little red/auburn tint. Or chop it all off. I know I'm probably putting WAY to much thought into this, but I'm vain, what can I say?
What says AFSCNB?
Re: Tell me what to do with my hair. Kinda long and PIP heavy
you're pretty.
I'd do a bob, slightly angled (not like dramatically so- just slightly ) and go with a rich chocolate brown, and some light highlights. kind of dramatic, but super fun.
I think everyone looks better with dark hair.
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
I like you as a blonde. I think must people look better with close to their natural color. It's just most people have naturally darker hair and try to go blonde.
Didn't you have shortish hair when you first started posting? I thought that was a good look for you.
Yeah, I had the chin-length bob thing going on when I started posting. Damn. That was over three years ago. I could do the bob, I think. Maybe. Maybe kinda chopppy. I'm feeling very "vanilla librarian" lately and want to do something different.
I do think the blonde is staying, though. It's really not too much lighter than my natural.
Are you the youngest person at your library, too? I HATE IT.

I responded to this post but it never showed up. Winger is probably going to cry about my poor lost little post out there in the internets, all alone.
I don't care for the dark hair you posted, but I think it's just because that particular color doesn't work. Too many blonde highlights or something. If you go dark, go dark with no blonde highlights. You can definitely pull it off, but you also look really good blonde.

I'm not sure if I'm the youngest working here. I think maybe a couple of the assistants are around my age. But I'm definitely the youngest librarian. Like, by A LOT.
Yeah, I think the closest in age to me is like 45. Sad panda.

Yeah, probably about the same here. I was excited when I got this job, because I thought I was going to be working with a girl I had gone to grad school with. Nope. I was replacing her because she's going to study art in the UK.
you are very pretty. and I like the cut and color you posted in the first picture. So this means that I don't want you to change your hair I guess.
the last time I tried to go with a different cut I wound up with these really heavy layers that make my head look like a mushroom. Or maybe it's just because I have a brazillion hairs right now and they are hormonally thick and juicy so I wouldn't look good with any cut.
And are you sure this is really you? Like REALLY sure?
Wendy, I'm reasonably sure it's me. I know I look totally different.
Edith and Tasty, thanks for saying I'm pretty. Warm fuzzies.
Yeah, I like my hair now, just jonesing for something different. Maybe I'll just get a tattoo.
