What brand did you use? I've never had that problem before.

Oh! And I had to get my license renewed yesterday, which sucked because I really liked my last picture and it was only a year old (from when I got a replecement when I changed my address)- the new photo is awful but that's mostly because I was looking at the guy, not the camera and you can see my eyes totally looking to the side with my face forward and it was windy so my hair was a mess and...*sigh*...I only have until 2013 before it expires again.

Jeep, I looked at your picture and have a couple of comments: first, you seem to have my mother's coloring - the skin tone of a red-head but with deep brown eyes. Her hair (she actually IS a red-head) has turned blondish, like your new color, instead of graying. I think the new color will work for you, but in order to become more comfortable with it you might want to start experimenting with different types/styles of makeup. Light bronzer is my mother's new best friend, and those beautiful brown eyes of yours would really stand out with a deep green or blue powder used as a liner (not a shadow) in combination with earthtone shadows. If you have a Bobby Brown counter somewhere nearby, they are really, really good at doing the 'make-under' that compliments your coloring (hair, eye color and skintone). Ask Mocha, she saw my mom at my wedding with essentially your same hairstyle and whatnot and she looked FABULOUS (her makeup was done by a friend of mine who's a Bobby Brown specialist). Personally, I'd give it a week and try a couple of other changes before making a final decision on the haircolor. Having said that though, I've been displeased with hairjobs in the past and no matter what anyone else said, I wasn't going to be happy until I got it changed. So I certainly understand if you're certain it's not going to make you happy and you want to go ahead and make the change now. I think you look great, though.

Aww Kaili. And what Gal said. I was thinking the same thing about changing with makeup first but didn't know if you wanted to go that route.

I wish I could see the pic....

Jeep, if you're afraid to do something yourself, maybe wait a week, and go back to the hairdresser and say "You know, I waiting a week and thought I'd get used to it, but it's just way too drastic a change for me, and I was wondering if you could make it a bit darker for me."

Most hairdressers will re-do you either for free (because you were not satisfied, and they want to keep you as a client), or they will at least just charge you a very reduced rate.

I go through this with my hairdresser every time. I am SO high maintenance about my hair, and every time I come in, I take about 20 minutes to explain, and he just laughs. He's the stereotypical b!tchy gay hairdresser(one time I asked if he would cut it all one length, and he replied "and is the next request an 80's perm?"). He convinces me he knows what to do based on what I've explained, and then tells me that he would RATHER I come back and get it fixed, rather than me just never coming back. He then reiterates that I should come back within the week if I want it changed.

I always say "Oh I could never come back and change it" and he gets mad at me and forces me to tell him I would come back if I weren't satisfied. He always teaches me stuff about hair colour when I go there, because I change my mind way too much. Blonde streaks one day, then I grow roots and want to go fully brown. Then I hate the brown and want blonde streaks again. Then I want reddish streaks. Then when I put too much blonde in, I want low-lites. But he maintains that there are way worse clients than me, so I feel better. LOL.

Moral of the story Jeep, thin about going back in a few days to a week, and say you just aren't liking the colour and you tried to give it a week, but you just weren't feelin' it. Hopefully your hairdresser will do it for you for free.

Good luck!!

PS - Dark dye clings to lightened hair more than it clings to darker natural hair, so definitely don't wait until you have roots.

Good point about the roots, Eeyores!

Jeep.. I ventured over there and Mocha is right.. it looks just fine, but of course what matters is what you want to do.. and you have options, girl!!

Change is about exploration ...

Mocha, love your hair. Your's always looks nice. I played with mine over the weekend and made it a tad darker. It's OK. I can live with it for awhile. I don't think I will do it again. Time will tell.

Thanks Jeep! And you never know you might grow to like the new color enough to keep it up. Did you try the makeup thing?

No, Mocha, I really didn't have time to fool with the makeup this weekend. All my co-workers say it looks fine and some really like it, so it must just be me. Maybe it'll grow on me, if not, I will go back to my mostly white "Mrs. Santa Clause" hair. It'll cost less, too! LOL

Have you ever thought to yourself... Hey self..it's just bangs! They just need a trim! How hard can it be? It didn't look all that bad the last time you did it! Right?

So you pick up the scissors and start trimming away. Then you think to yourself... Oh dear. What have I done?

Pictures, we want pictures, Lori!

ETA, did you leave them long enough to curl those bangs a little? That can hide a multitude of mistakes.

Well, then just cut them off to the root and tell everybody it's new hair growth. LOL

I'm so sorry sweetie. I hope it's not as bad as you think it is. But I will love you anyway, short bangs and all.

yep, Lori. Sadly, been there right with you. Just keep them kinda messy looking -- you know, windblown sort of. The people can't tell when you can't cut straight.

I'm with Tess. Been there too....in fact, just revisited.

Tess is right...go for the messy look (that is, if they are long enough to be messy lol). Or, just give off this attitude: "I'm so cool it doesn't matter that my hair looks like something out of the "Chainsaw Massacre" ("CM" was what a snobby hairdresser in Beverly Hills called my haircut...and was seeing him to get it "fixed"..he was right though).

Hold your head/bangs high, Lori. (A little more make-up might distract from the bangs too :>)

AND, I'm w/Granny in that I still love you too!

You could wear a Survivor buff for awhile.
