In the last year I've had blond highlights, ombre, red, purplish red, natural, etc. :)</p> <p>It's fun and I don't think maintenance is all that much. My hair grows too fast and I'm ready for a change every three months anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-haired-ladies-do-you-get-your-hair-professionally-colored#post-1680831 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 10:19:19 +0000 sandy 1680831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: here's a simple explanation which I don't even know if it's right. Super subtle and a different technique of coloring your hair so that it looks more sun-kissed and grows out less noticeably </p> <p><a href="http://www.thelovehanger.com/2011/12/ombre-hair-vs-balayage.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelovehanger.com/2011/12/ombre-hair-vs-balayage.html?m=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-haired-ladies-do-you-get-your-hair-professionally-colored#post-1680820 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 10:17:44 +0000 snowjewelz 1680820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both pics are so cute! I have fine/thin hair, so even perming my hair will never get it to look like the pics unless I sit there and curl them every day! I def think the 2nd pic is more realistic/feasible. </p> <p>I follow this girl on IG - maybe this will help! </p> <p><a href="http://www.heyprettything.com/2014/05/summer-hair-part-1-of-3-cut-long-bob.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.heyprettything.com/2014/05/summer-hair-part-1-of-3-cut-long-bob.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.heyprettything.com/2014/05/summer-hair-part-2-of-3-perm.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.heyprettything.com/2014/05/summer-hair-part-2-of-3-perm.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-haired-ladies-do-you-get-your-hair-professionally-colored#post-1680801 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 10:14:13 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1680801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@night cheese: @sandy: what's balayage? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-haired-ladies-do-you-get-your-hair-professionally-colored#post-1680793 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 10:12:32 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1680793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her hair is so pretty!!! </p> <p>No, I haven't gotten anything but a cut in over 10 years... I'm really itching for a change though, so I may want to do a digital perm and some sort of highlights/lowlights to bring out some dimension. I'm with you that the maintenance always seems like too much, and i'm not one of those people that enjoy sitting at a salon for 4 hours! It's not relaxing to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-haired-ladies-do-you-get-your-hair-professionally-colored#post-1680781 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 10:10:13 +0000 looch 1680781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get my hair lightened any more, the results are always too orange for my taste. My hair is warm toned and doesn't do the ash toned sandy highlights.</p> <p>When I need to, I will use a semipermanent dye. I haven't decided if I will do it at the salon or at home yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-haired-ladies-do-you-get-your-hair-professionally-colored#post-1680773 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 10:08:56 +0000 sandy 1680773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@night cheese: do you take a photo of what you want your color to look like to the stylist or just say you want ombré/balayage? My friend said she got balayage and her hair just looks so pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-haired-ladies-do-you-get-your-hair-professionally-colored#post-1679893 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 05:56:59 +0000 night cheese 1679893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you get ombré or balayage highlights, maintanance and upkeep isn't bad, because you don't get major roots. I have dark brown hair and I feel like highlights really brightened me up when my hair was shoulder-length. </p> <p>I don't color my hair anymore because I got a pixie and get it cut every 4-5 weeks, so all the color would get cut off and I'd have to get it done all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-haired-ladies-do-you-get-your-hair-professionally-colored#post-1679775 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 01:17:37 +0000 autumnlove 1679775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: I think I might have the same hair texture...dry, brittle? I had thyroid issues in the past. </p> <p>I think a great cut ( with or without color) would be great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-haired-ladies-do-you-get-your-hair-professionally-colored#post-1679769 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 01:09:38 +0000 sandy 1679769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair is pretty thin and flyaway. I used to have the typical thick Asian hair but I have about 1/4 of the hair I used to have and the texture completely changed when I started having thyroid issues. I'm afraid to go short bc I always regret it so I was thinking medium length. Maybe trying something like this. If you have better hair photos please post! I need help! </p> [attach=429/14/n6omg2.213x237.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-haired-ladies-do-you-get-your-hair-professionally-colored#post-1679767 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 01:06:10 +0000 sandy 1679767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw my friend today and her hair looked sooo pretty! All my other friends were raving about her hair too. I can't tell if it's the cut that makes it look so good or if it's that she got it colored. It just looked so good so I made an appointment with her stylist for next week. My hair is so long and blah right now...I need a hair makeover. I've never had my hair professionally colored as an adult...I'm Asian and have dark brown/black hair and the thought of the maintenance just seems like too much. Do you think a great cut is good enough or does the color just put it over the top and make a haircut look amazing? What is the maintenance like? Photos of your hair or inspiration hair much appreciated!</p> <p>My friend's hair is dark brown and this is kind of what her hair looks like now...the style. The color is darker/warmer and just so pretty. </p> [attach=429/14/n6omab.236x271.image.jpg]
