Hellobee Boards

I went from long long hair to a rihanna-style pixie cut and i'd do it again in a second. It's just haircolor....go for it!

Oh yeah do it! I change my hair color a lot! And every so often, i go for a drastic hair cut.

My hair is bright cherry red right now. lol.

But yeah, my hair changes on whim. When I quit my job to move to the UK, I chopped my waist length black hair into a pixie and dyed it neon turquoise. hahaha

@MamaMagpie: I worked at a salon in college, and people who would go darker seemed to be the most shocked and would say, "I'll get used to it....." People who went lighter/blonder would squeal and bounce their way out of the salon! I think the darker color is gorgeous, but for whatever reason, drastically darker seems like more of an adjustment for people.

I've changed my hair a lot--short, different colors. That's what happens when you babysit for stylists and work at a salon! I think it's fun. Hair grows and you can color it back later if you want.

I chopped off 13+ inches and got a bunch of blond highlights post wedding.

I did ombre hair last summer.

I've done red, black, blondish brown, etc.

I'm never afraid of changes with hair. I haven't done anything dramatic since having had DS tho.

I'm itching for another major chop and color.

I say go for it girl, you're gorg

@MamaMagpie: Haha, it was like turquoise and lime green. I loved it. My thoughts were that I had a job for a long time where I wasn't allowed to, so I went nuts when I could finally do it! I love the pastel look, but couldn't pull it off due to my skin tone.

The only think I caution with dark dye is that it will be a really long, likely damaging, process to go back light if you want to. Dark dye is a PITA to get out once it's done.

My current hair color. lol Sorry for the messy bun, tonight is hair washing night. hahahaha

No but I really want too. Getting my hair cut on Sat and I want to chop it off.

@MamaMagpie: You're gorgeous and look like Darby Stanchfield (Abby from Scandal!)

For about a decade I constantly changed my hair. Cycled through every color that work would let me get away with (none of the fun ones, like pink or blue, unfortunately). Chopped it off on a whim (short enough to spike).

But I finally found a shade I love, so I stopped color-changing so much. And D loves my longer hair (or rather, he hates my hair super short). While I don't let him dictate my looks or anything he does keep his beard and mustache because I love them so much, so I'm happy to keep longer hair for him.

Plus, I also had fears about E not recognizing me if I did something drastic to my hair.

Also, I will definitely agree with @loveisstrange: , lightening darker-dyed hair is a total PITA.

@loveisstrange: @lovehoneybee: I went from sunny California blonde to Angelina Jolie dark (during her Billy Bob days) back to blonde with no issue (all within, say, a 6 month period) . . . although all of the coloring was done at a salon. I would never attempt to color my hair at home!

No don't do it! It's gorgeous now. Seriously. I love your current hair.

@lovehoneybee: *oy* Although . . . looks like you were just an early trendsetter (considering how popular it is currently)!

@MamaMagpie: you are so pretty! I think you would look great with dark hair, but your current color really suits you too.

I have had more or less the same haircut since 8th grade. It's naturally curly, so I don't know what to do with it other than medium length. In any case, I wear it in a pony or bun nearly every day.

I made this switch, and hated it. But, it grew back, and it was fun sometimes. And, then 3 years later, I did it again - and hated it again! Haha

@MamaMagpie: do it!!

I've chopped my hair before and put in pink streaks

@MamaMagpie: I think the new color will look great on you!

@cyndistar3: @swurlygurl: @mrsjyw: I love these before and afters! I've actually been thinking about dying my hair now that I'm all done pumping. I've never died it in my life! Not sure what color to go to, it's boring dark brown now. Excuse the hand in the face, no makeup yet haha

@MsLipGloss: I tried that at home. I dyed my hair black, decided I didn't like it, then bleached my hair like 12 hours later. HELLO orange. So I dyed it red & went to a salon a week later and got highlights. It ended up being my favorite cut & color ever.

I'm lucky my hair didn't fall out. That's a lot of chemicals in a short amount of time!

@MamaMagpie: Okay, your hair is seriously beautiful. ANY colour would look nice

I've drastically changed my hair once - I went from long, never-dyed and naturally blonde, to SHORT, dark brown and fire-engine red. I was 16 and I loved it. I'd do it again, but DH really wasn't a fan.

@MamaMagpie: I love your current color!!
