Just got home from getting my hair highlighted and thought you guys might want to see the finished product!
Just a little history first:
Back in high school I was quite blonde. I would get highlights regularly every 6 weeks and as a result, I became more and more blonde. At the time, I really liked it - but looking back, it was probably a little too much...see below. Eeek.
When I went off to college, I started fresh by dying my hair back to dark brown. This may or may not have been to save a little extra cash :-) Fixing those roots was quite expensive!! Anyways, my hair has been dark brown ever since and although I think I look good as a brunette, I've just been longing for some dimension/contrast to my hair. I'm tired of just one color.
So after months and months of deciding whether I really wanted to take the plunge back towards blonde, I finally made the appointment for this morning.
I think it turned out really well. I emphasized that I didn't want it to be too blonde and no crazy platinum streaks. I think she pulled it off! So here are the before & after pics. (They're really not the greatest pictures...but I couldn't get the lighting right.)

After:
So there you have it. I think I like it! :-)
Hope you're having a great Saturday!
Love,
