Here You Go

Lauren

Ethan likes it, and that’s what matters.

When we combed the aisles for the color I wanted, E pulled me down to his level and told me that he really likes my yellow hair but he’d love me no matter the color. It has a bit of red highlight in person, and oddly, my hair looks healthier and fluffier. I know because E told me so.

I keep catching glimpses of the hair in my periphery and think, “What the hell is that?!” Oh, my own damn hair.

The much-requested picture.

  4. Well Lauren, external appearances are of course superficial, and I am far more interested in the structure of your thought and the vigor of your struggle for autonomy.

    That said… wow.

  5. Makes your eyes look a deeper blue. It also gives you a softer face, and you look younger with the darker hair. Being 50, I always consider this a positive, so overall, I think it’s very nice. Equal parts Betty Paige and Lana Turner.

    And it’s fun, too, isn’t it? To try different colors?

    Most hair color will leave your hair feeling thicker and healthier. Something to do with coating the hair shaft. I color my hair, which is a celtic white (and has been for years, and does NOT go with my celtic green eyes and celtic rosy complexion), and I always like how the coloring leaves my hair.

  6. i used to be a blonde and dyed my hair black a couple of years ago. i can’t imagine ever going back.

    you look great either way but i must say i’m partial to brunettes. especially with blue eyes.

    lovely!

  11. I hate to tell ya’ this, but remember how you suddenly got hit on by weird old men all the time when you first got bangs? Now that you’re dark-haired AND have bangs, you look more like a dominatrix and it might actually increase. 😛

    Good luck! 😉

    (This is coming from a dark-haired gal with bangs.)

  16. Not to disparage blondes in general or blonde-Lauren in particular, but I’ve always found brunettes (redheads in particular) to be more… mysterious and smoldering, I guess. Yeah, just my quirky biases, but hey.

    By the way, it’s difficult to focus on the hair when you’ve got eyes like LEDs. Wow.

  17. Hottttt.

    Brunette is the shizz. God gave me pale pale skin and golden brown hair that gets awfully bleached by the sun every summer, and I’m fighting a constant battle to keep it a nice respectable shade of chesnut.

  20. Awesome! Just be careful when it starts to fade… I dyed my hair brown (from blonde) and when it faded it took on a greenish tint. No one bothered to tell me until AFTER I changed colors again. And then I got “Oh, good thing you dyed it again, it was looking a little green!”
