Going blonde - inform me!

[Mother Goose]

Apparently I do blonde well. But I can't justify the time or money to maintain a full head of blonde. So I have highlights put through my hair. The more highlights, the blonder I am if that makes sense?

The highlights work well because they grow out nicely. I usually go 3 months before needing it done again. It also looks natural and, if I wanted to go completely blonde down the track, is a great way to build up to it. Same going reverse, I I wanted to go darker, it's a great way to do it without a huge shock.

Hmmmm. Thanks everyone - you have given me a good start.

You can't really go blonde successfully with a pack - it takes quite a bit of hairdresser work (numerous visits) to go lighter and have it look nice. What are your eyebrows like? Are they dark or light because blonde hair with dark eyebrows is a bit obvious.

Oh, I definitely won't be going with a pack. The thought makes me shudder My eyebrows are pretty light.

Well I did it. It went a bit lighter than I (or the hairdresser) expected. I got a half head of foils. It's pretty blonde around my face and top but the underneath is still auburn/brown. I don't mind it but I don't love it. I might need time to adjust I think! Next time I think I might get some put in that are a bit more caramel or honey. The problem with doing it this time is the hairdresser wasn't sure it would come out much different to my normal colour. Oh well, if I don't get used to it I guess I can either re-dye it or cut it all off.
