One of the easier to accomplish items on my Life List is to rock my natural hair color, and I've been pinning some inspiration in an attempt to motivate myself to take the plunge. First, let's take a journey back in time...
Here I am around age 2, with the blonde hair I've spent literally thousands of dollars over the years trying to pretend I still have...
And here I am a few years later, with the mousy brown hair I've spent literally thousands of dollars trying to hide... (and yes, I'm fully aware of the many awesome things going on in this picture)
And here I am this past Christmas, all dyed up...
So why the change? Well, despite being happy with the shade of blonde I've been getting the past couple of years, the upkeep is wearing on me. And I've been increasingly drawn to the natural-looking hair and makeup among the J Crew and Anthropologie models. And, honestly, I'm just curious what the heck my natural hair color actually looks like after all these years! Every girl who's been dying her hair for years has visions of shaving it all off and starting from scratch. (Or maybe that's just me.) And since there's no way that will ever happen, in order to do this I'll have to dye my hair what I think is my natural color and hope it grows out to match.
Here are a few of the inspiration pics I'm planning to take to my colorist. All three are essentially (what I think is) my natural color, with some warm dark gold highlights....
What do you think? Should I do it??
