A Hairy Situation
THE GREAT DEBATE I’ve obsessed over lately is what I should do with my hair. Should I go platinum? Dirty blond? Dark brown? Sassy red? Short hair? Long hair? Medium hair? Leave it, curl it, style it, throw it in a bun. . .there is just too many choices. I *almost* miss the times I didn’t have to think of these things, back in the day when I never dyed my hair, always wore a pony tail and didn’t care about the bangs that hung over my eyes. Then I got a wild hair to change all of this back in October, and I went from this:
To this:
Which was wickedly beautiful, until now six months down the road. The highlights have faded and I’m left with a Peppy La Pue skunk streak down the top of my head, with all the remaining highlights on one side and none on the other.
Fanfreakingtastic.
Last picture of my old hair, and I only posted this in case you’ve forgotten that I actually DO have teeth.
So. Now on to the real story, where I dashed into the mall, and the first place won’t do a color appointment after six. The second was run by two witchy girls that probably would’ve dyed my hair green if I would’ve went through with it. So my last, but probably best option was JC Penny’s, who had cut/styled my hair before. I lucked out, got the best stylist (Jennie is her name, and seriously, ask for her. She knows whats up.) So I trusted her with choosing the right shade of DARK BROWN.
I feel happy.
I feel cute.
I feel cocky.
And to be truthful? Even though I was shooting for a Bella Swan/Sara Evans hair color. . .it came out like Kate Beckinsale in Underworld. And I’m perfectly ok with that. I have the blue eyes, light skin, the dark hair, the obsession with fantasy, and I feel evil. Vampire AubMo, anyone?
Post note: No, I am not nakie in these pics. Even though they are modest and only show my shoulders (gasps!) I am also wearing a tube top. Which apparently doesn’t show up on head shots, imagine that.
I seriously love, love, love it. I was totally thinking “Bella” before you even mentioned it.
You are totally movie star-ish!
You are so pretty!! Go ahead and feel cute, cocky, and happy… cause girly… you look hot!
p.s. where the heck did that picture of me come from? FREAKY!!
Can you spell J-E-A-L-O-U-S?! My hair is so horrible right now. You have no idea. I have been through HELL and back with my hair color. Actually I have just been to hell and never came back because it still looks like crap. It is bleach blond right now! Not a pretty sight. I have been aiming for that brown you got for literally YEARS! It always looks red when I go brown. I wish I could just buzz it all and start fresh! You look good! I love the dark.
Rach, we need to track down who gave us these hair genes. Honestly, mine usually goes red (if I’m lucky. Otherwise it goes ORANGE and there is no fixing that). Instead of buzzing your hair, lets find who to blame and buzz off their hair! Thanks for all the compliments (ps I’ve always thought your hair is cute bleached blond, so to each her own!). If it helps any, I’d go at least talk to someone that does hair (may I suggest Jennie again?) because they know their stuff. I wanted to go for a lighter brown, but she found what would get the final color after putting it on my current hair color. The color she chose for me looked BLACK black black, but it didn’t turn out that way.
You look amazing dude!
Awesome, stunning new hair Aubs!! Seriously, you look absolutely gorgeous!! And it’s about time you feel cute, cocky, and flirty/girly, go on with yo bad self, girl!! Haha, that sounds better than it looks typed out.
You girls can probably blame your wierd hair on me. Even though I don’t
dye my hair, it always had a red cast to it in the sun, but it doesn’t
anymore. So shave me bald, it couldn’t look any worse than it does now.
My hair stylist that I had FOREVER quit and went into real estate. I have
been in mourning over it and haven’t been to a salon since sometime in 2007. I just trim it myself. I love your hair Aubrey!!
[...] So just for fun, I uploaded this photo of me to see which celebrities I’d look like…and what do you know – Alexis Bledel, first result. I was right about something else though, remember when I said I look like Kate Beckinsale? [...]
