I don't know if any of you who don't actually know me care. Actually I don't know how many of you who DO know me care... but I'm coloring my hair in a few days. True to my nature, I'm going for something different. Even the "lost in translation" fear (how do you say "No cool tones!" in German?), and an unknown hairdressers skills, don't seem to be able to sway me from a Big Hair Change. I'm going chocolate brown. Deep, dark, (hopefully glossy) chocolate brown. I imagine that this is a bit tricky to do. My hair is naturally blond, and I hi-light it blonder. Will the brown stick? Will it be dull and icky? Will I look like a vampire?
I tried to find a picture of the brown I want, so you could see what I have in mind. Why aren't there pics on the web of "women with fair skin and brown hair" who are in their 40's, with slightly ruddy skin and crows feet, and maybe who are also a bit sleep-deprived??? All that I could find was Zooey Deschanel and Natalie Portman, and frankly - that just didn't help my optimism level much at all.
In spite of all of this, on Wednesday at 9:00am I have an appointment at the salon across the street. Ill let you know how it goes...
Here's me Before. Hell - if it doesn't work I can always just cut it all off and wear hats. Winter is on it's way...
