Hair colors

I forgot I have a hair appointment tonight! I'm not sure what I should do with it (color-wise) and was hoping for your suggestions!

I have dark brown medium-length layered hair with a heavy straight bang (shorter version of Zooey Deschanel's hair). Last time I got my hair done, they did a bright purple in my bangs, which are now faded to a hot pink. I love it - but I've had the colored bang thing for a few months. I'm not sure if it's played out. I did LOVE the purple and I'd consider streaks or tips in place of the bang, but I just can't decide.

I love my stylist and of course I'll get her input (and probably do what she recommends - even if she says go back all brown or all purple), but want to make sure I'm not just impulsively following her recommendation!

Re: Hair colors

  • I don't think it's played out at all.  I have light blonde hair with neon pink in my bangs and under the back with more pink framing my face.  DH loves it. I get stopped and grilled several times a week about about who and where my color is done.  I have a good friend with dark brown hair and bright forest green highlights that look awesome as well. 
  • Thanks -- I might do another round of purple before I have to go brown for work. (Client meetings in June, and they definitely would NOT appreciate the purple!) Unless she can do them strategically so they're hidden when my hair is up. Hmm

    Maybe I just needed someone else to tell me that it's ok. I get a lot of compliments, but I don't really see many people with funky hair anymore, outside of my salon.

    No problem!  Most of the compliments I get start with, "I love your hair.  I wish I could have your it, but my job won't let me."  YGPM!
