Prepare Yourself for Something Dreadful

I am very nervous to post this.

Let's remember 2 things when looking at these pictures 1. I am undoubtedly the least photogenic person on the planet. 2. These are self-taken timer shots, not the best quality.





I know. It looks like I am wearing a wig, right? It does. All-over color does that. I was told by my trusty hair-care professional, Robin, that it will calm down in the next few weeks. We will see. I had to go a shade darker to cover all my old blonde.

Pros: Love having a change. Love not fighting regrowth. Love not having to pay serious $$$ every 8 weeks. Love having my ponytail be all the same color.

Cons: Wig-like appearance. Will take some getting used to. Wondering if my children will recognize me. Not sure if I can pull this off.

Husband's response- and let's be honest, what opinion matters more than his?- "I fell in love with you as a brunette." (Although I was not nearly this dark, I might add.)

Give it to me straight people - I can take it- what say you?

Carie it looks amazing! It really does. And I've seen wig-ish and this is not it.

Okay. Seriously awesome. I am a fan of the dark hair, in general, and I think it makes your eyes look so pretty.

I heard in a beauty enrichment thing once that it takes your eyes 4 days to adjust to something new on your face, so I always give myself that much time before I make any kind of judgement.

Love the hair cut, too. We are kind of twins.

You look great! You really do! I love the new look! I don't think I've ever seen you this dark, it's so different and fun!!!
I new this was going to be exciting!
Now, maybe we'll look more like sisters?

I love, love, love it! I know you will love it too. I went back to my natural brunette a few years ago, and it was the best decision ever. So easy. So cute.

Love it! Dark hair makes people look younger and it makes your eyes pop!

I was just thinking about that other day. Who else, besides a sister, would wonder if you ever wanted to go back to the "darker" look. I love it!
