lighten up, baby.

Help!

Late last year, I decided to change up my hair just a bit. However, it didn't turn out quite as I had planned. Which, honestly, came as no surprise to me. I've tried for yearrrrs to lighten up my hair and after multiple salon switch ups, and a few dollars later, it hasn't changed at all. 

One 'stylist' even went so far as to say, "Actually, it didn't turn out blonde because your hair pulls red naturally. It just prefers red, I guess."

That was a hairdo I deemed, "The Rusty Halo."

Maybe one day when I'm feeling overly friendly I'll post some pictures 

of the above mentioned catastrophe.

………. 

Anyways, let's not dwell on the past. 

I've found a salon that I think looks very promising. So, natural-looking-light-brown-hair-with-sunkissed-golden-blonde-streaks-that-are-not-orange, here I come!

Fingers crossed.

I've included some pictures that I've kept on my phone for over two years now. From long, red hot hues, to fringe bangs and bob cuts, here ya' go!

The picture that started it all…

Lily Aldridge - VS Model

Dark to light Ombré.

A Pinterest find. Still thinking about doing this for summer!

After my ombré made hair stylists everywhere scream with pure horror, I decided to chop it all off and start fresh.

The colour I went for after the fiasco of 2012….

Considered this for a while, then decided to quit while I still had hair on my head…

Though about fringe bangs for a while there too.

I just love this picture…. 

Possible summer/fall 2013 look - Red hot, baby.

And finally, the photo that sparked my most recent never ending hair quest.

Stay tuned! It's gonna be a colorful spring/summer.
