I am naturally light blonde but have also put lowlights in before. I used to love putting in a deep red/violet hue in the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311737 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 12:08:18 +0000 cascademom 2311737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another one that used to highlight but haven't since I was pregnant with LO #1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311726 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 11:50:10 +0000 rachiecakes 2311726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@red_seattle: haha just walled you!<br /> I'm the only redhead in my family - my grandfather was a redhead but I never saw his hair red, he passed away a few years ago at 90. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311710 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 11:29:06 +0000 red_seattle 2311710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: that's interesting because I've been told that red hair usually loses the natural color later than other hair colors. I always believed it because my grandma (well into her 80s) only recently started having more grey/white than red in her "cinnamon and sugar" hair. So-- guess it's possible I'll go grey sooner. I hadn't had a chance to compare notes with a redhead outside my family before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311650 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 10:40:36 +0000 sera_87 2311650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually go red for the winter and then blonde for the summer but I've been a brunette too. I love experimenting with colour and highlights. </p> <p> I'm a really dark blonde (I used to be super super light blonde, damn you aging! :crying: ) so I just lighten it. </p> <p>But I'm getting overall light blonde &amp; then blue &amp; pink highlights done this month and I cannot WAIT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311609 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 10:09:00 +0000 Mamasig 2311609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I haven't done it since I was maybe 24-25? So about 12-13 years ago. My hair is way too dark and grows way too fast. I would have to be at the salon every 3 weeks. Not worth it to me! I do have a lot of grays now. For now I pull them out or hide them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311599 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 09:59:37 +0000 Alba4 2311599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to highlight, but I've been 100% natural for the past 3 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311524 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 08:58:15 +0000 littlebug 2311524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to. One of my best friends from high school became a stylist, and for a while after she got her first job she would do my hair and only charge me materials costs, so I let her kind of experiment. I had all kinds of funky colors and highlights. It was a lot of fun, and because she only charged me for the materials, it was affordable. Once she started having to charge me for real, I had to stop. I started using box color and then eventually just stopped coloring altogether. I have a fair amount of greys now and sometimes I think about dying it again to cover them, but ain't nobody got time (or money) for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311441 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 07:36:07 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2311441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Virgin hair for me. My natural color is nice enough. I think about getting highlights so that I look more like my blonde daughters but I don't have time for that kind of commitment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311439 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 07:35:14 +0000 LuLu Mom 2311439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I have too much gray at 30 to go natural. I've actually colored my hair since like 7th grade, my natural color is a very mossy brown color (at least it was back then) no idea what it looks like now as I haven't seen it in 15+ years ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311437 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 07:32:28 +0000 ms.line 2311437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair's been brown, blonde, black, pink, orange, and every shade of red there is. I just do allover color at home - I'm at a semi "real" job right now, so I mostly stick with auburns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311430 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 07:26:58 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2311430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: Same for me. I've been getting highlights since I was 12 years old and I am taking a break. It's just so much maintenance so I want to see how I like my natural color before I go gray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311417 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 07:15:34 +0000 Synchronicity 2311417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been colouring my hair since I was in 7th grade... Sometimes highlights, sometimes full colour. I'm so over it! I went as close to natural as I could last time, and I'm letting it grow and fade out now. No more dye, for a while at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311394 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 06:38:16 +0000 808love 2311394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last time I colored my hair, it turned out the exact same color as it was before!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311392 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 06:30:04 +0000 mrsjyw 2311392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrschickpea: I have tons of white hair and I'm 32! Always had a few and they blew up after pregnancy (2x). I just let them go.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311389 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 06:27:37 +0000 mrsjyw 2311389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Since high school! </p> <p>The last couple years it's just been balayage highlights or darkening to my natural color. I go back n forth from dark brown, highlights, red, etc! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311383 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 05:59:35 +0000 rachiecakes 2311383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@red_seattle: I'm a redhead too but after giving birth the hair on the sides of my face started to turn white (few in the front too).</p> <p>I get a partial highlight twice a year to make my white hair blend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311376 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 05:37:14 +0000 BananaPancakes 2311376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every 6 weeks. I naturally have very mousy/ashy brown hair and I just warm the color up a bit and add a little caramel highlighting in. It's not a drastic change from my natural color, but so much less mousy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311375 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 05:34:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2311375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to highlight my hair, but the process was so damaging. I still love the pics of me and my shades of browns. Now, people ask if I dye it black- nope that witchy color is my natural hue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311371 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 05:07:30 +0000 lamariniere 2311371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got highlights once more than a decade ago. I think I would look odd with a different hair color, so I just keep what I have (dark brown). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311355 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 02:35:20 +0000 red_seattle 2311355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have naturally red hair, and I love it. (That's the "red" in red_seattle.) I've never dyed it, and I don't ever plan to unless it fades to a too orange-y color as I age. (Which can happen with redheads during the transition to grey. I'm Ok with grey. Just not the faded orange some redheads turn into.) I like to think that I earned my red hair through all the teasing I got for my hair color when I was little. I wouldn't want to cover up my badge of honor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311351 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 02:02:47 +0000 mrschickpea 2311351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have grays :shocked: and I'm only 29! I have naturally dirty blonde hair and have been dying it burgundy red for almost 10 years now even though I've only been getting gray hair for about 3 of those years :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311338 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 00:30:12 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2311338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - I've got virgin hair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311332 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 00:21:50 +0000 erinpye 2311332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I'm a natural blonde and used to highlight 2-5 times a year. For almost the past year I've gone all over color in various reds-- currently a super vibrant orange. I love it, even though it's a lot of maintenance. I get treated much differently as not-a-blonde too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311262 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 21:41:15 +0000 Keybee 2311262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to, but I got tired of the maintaince. I'm a dish water blond and used to add highlights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311260 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 21:40:06 +0000 youboots 2311260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get ashy dark brown lowlights 1-2 times a year. My hair gets red and brassy in the sun so the lowlights make it look way better at the end of summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-color-your-hair-2#post-2311232 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 20:59:28 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2311232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get balyage highlights once a year because they grow out so naturally and I can get away with doing it so infrequently.</p> <p>I've colored my hair a lot in my life, but I'm always trying to get that natural light color I had as a child!</p> <p>Do you color your hair? What color and how? </p>
