Perm's out, sooo...DRASTIC COLOUR CHANGE?! :O (Pic heavy AGAIN!)

[Pipsweet]

For those of you following the Pipsweet Argh-I-Hate-My-Hair-What-To-Do?! Saga, (see the original drama here: https://forum.makeuptalk.com/f13...avy-81920.html,) I've followed your wise advice and am not going for a perm.

But now I want to dye it, haha!

Just to give y'all an idea, here's my last D2B pic to show you the natural colour of my hair:

And in true teenage style, I'm borrrrrrred, haha!

I'm thinking one of three ways, and perhaps unfortunately, they're all pretty extreme!



Option One: PLATINUM!

This is one of my v. v. FAVE pics of me, despite the Myspacey-ness of it, because the lighting made my hair this gorgeous platinum colour:

I also reckon that Gwen Stefani is one of my major inspirations behind this colour:

Pros: -I'll still be blonde, yaaay!

-This is the colour I feel most suits my personality

-closest to my natural colour

Cons: -Might wash me out

-ROOTS. 'Nuff said.

-Could damage my hair.

Option Two: RED!

Haha, I know what you're thinking! But I love this colour on women with fair complexions, such as Marcia Cross:

Pros: -Easier to experiment with wash-in-wash-out reds before going crazy

-Makes hair looks healthier and shinier

-Could brighten my complexion

Cons: -Could stain my natural hair

-Could look rubbish!

-Ginger jokes. ¬_¬

Option Three: DARK CHOCOLATE!

Risky, I know, but I love this look on celebs such as Lily Allen and Katy Perry:

Pros: -Makes hair lovely and shiny and healthy-looking

-Goes with any outfit, lol!

Cons: -Will def. make a mess of my natural colour

-Might just look boring!

-Might wash me out.

SOOOO, that's Pipsweet's Crazy Decision of the Moment!

Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much guys!

Red! I was a blonde, but everyone says I look better as a redhead and i think you may also!

 

[Dragonfly]

I agree with Lisa.

What about a nice strawberry blond with some goldish highlights?

 

[Johnnie]

Chocolate

 

[puncturedskirt]

I think the red will look good as well.

 

[Adrienne]

I think the red will look really good on you

 

[bella1342]

I think red will go really well with your eyes, but you're so pretty that chocolate would look really nice on you too. I can't decide.

 

[daer0n]

I vote for either blonde or dark chocolate, honestly i don't think red suits you very much, so these two colors would be best for you, if you want a change cause you are bored of the blonde, best choice for you would be the dark chocolate one

 

[nanzmck]

not to get all Tyra on you, but dark hair would make your eyes *pop* and put more focus on your face.

but! since you're blonde now, why not try platinum, and then if you're not really feeling it, go darker?

I like that idea!

I think the platinum would look awesome. As long as you use the right shades of makeup, you shouldnt have any problem looking washed out. And since your hair is already really light, the damage won't be nearly as bad as for someone with super dark hair.

 

[Orangeeyecrayon]

i say the platinum...

just cause red will be realy hard to get out if you do not like it. and the way the roots on the dark brown will come in will make you look like you are balding so you will really have to keep up on the coloring of your hair

 

[CellyCell]

Once you go dark - it will be hard to go back to your natural color if you decide too.

I say platinum blonde. Or even - go dirty blonde with platinum blonde peak-a-boos, highlights. There's this girl who had a really pretty color done... I'm not into blonde looks but hers was really nice:

Glam-Beauty: FOTD - BRONZY MAKEUP AND NEW HAIR!

 

[xJula]

Red hair plus blue eyes = awesome!

 

[katana]

I think your fair skin and blue eyes, could carry the red very well!!!

I saw Red!! Very fierce! It'll look great with your eyes!

 

[Lorelei_W]

Blonde and straight. I think it would be the best solution.

 

[Pipsweet]

Thanks so much guys for all your advice!!

I'm thinking about trying a temporary red, and if it looks ridiculous I'll just bleach it all out and try the platinum. On the other hand, I might just chicken out, haha! I'll def. post pics for you guys!

 

[bebexkhmergrl]

Keep it blonde, I like it!

 

[Orangeeyecrayon]

if you do bleach it out make sure you go to a profesional, i did a temporary red on my own and it stained my hair and needed to be bleached out. and i ended up melting a good amount of my hair and had to cut it super short aka pixie length

 

[Killah Kitty]

I agree with the girl that said go platinum first, it would really suit you and I think it'd be hot, and then if you aren't feeling it or don't want to keep up with it, then go chocolate. Its hot too, and you can easily go blonde and then dark, but it would be VERY hard the other way around lol.

I say no to the red. Its risky, yea its fierce, but so is platinum... and it doesn't last, the fade can get ugly. Think really seriously about going red before you do lol.

I say platinum! I love blonde hair!
