This weekend I have been thinking about dyeing my hair. Between the sun and the pool and the ocean my hair is turning kind of orange. See Exhibit 1:

I’m thinking of dyeing my hair a dark brown or almost black but not blue-black. I haven’t done it yet because I think hair dyeing is kind of vain, and also I’m concerned about the constant upkeep required. Incidentally, this style below is also similar to the haircut I’m considering. See Exhibit 2 :

That haircut is very similar to a haircut I’ve had before. See Exhibit 3 below for the picture I took to the salon as a guide for my stylist:

However, if I were really adventurous and not a lawyer doing jury trials, I’d get the style and color below. I don’t have the nerve to actually do it, but it’s a style and color I’ve thought about several times. See Exhibit 4:

I’m still debating what to do as far as the dyeing. Whether I dye or not, I am definitely going to get the long, layered haircut seen in two of the above photos.

I’ve been just about every color under the sun and black seemed like it might’ve been kinda cool for someone with fair skin and blue eyes but…it totally wasn’t. Dark Brown though is much less harsh a color…plus if you yourself want darker after going dark brown you can always wait 3 months and go black if that’s your preference. I prefer being a bleach blonde myself just because I like the extra attention although I’m naturally a strawberry(red)-blonde.
