So, back to the brunette thing. I have had blonde hair my whole life, but it has crossed my mind a few times to go dark, like real dark. I am not sure I could ever pull it off, but these women sure make it enticing...
Have you seen L.C.? She recently took the plunge...what do you think?
I think I like her blonde better!
When we lived in Amman, Jordan, I died my blond hair dark brown to "blend in better"...it didn't help, but it was fun to do something so drastically different! Looking at the pictures now, I'm glad I took the plunge, even if it was temporary. LC...hmmm, I probably like the blond better, but the darker color makes her look more mature (and not in a matronly way).
ReplyDeleteI have been mulling over the SAME thing! When I see a really beautiful brunette (especially Mila Kunis) I am so tempted to go dark. Plus, my three officemates have shiny, shiny dark brown hair and it makes me jealous.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing holding me back really is my wardrobe - it's been amassed with my blonde hair in mind. I love the contrast of my hair on my navy coat (and all of my black tops and dresses). I think brown hair + my closet would add up to a very goth result.
I always have the blonde/brunette debate with myself, and blonde always wins out. My husband definitely prefers blonde, and everytime I go brunette, I change it right back by next appointment.
ReplyDeleteI love Olivia Palermo's color though, that's a shade of brunette I'd be willing to try someday.
I have been there/done that with going darker and even though it crosses my mind sometimes (like when my roots start to show) ultimately the blonde wins! And I think it's for the best :) LC should take a lesson and stick with blonde for sure!
ReplyDeleteI JUST saw Vicky Cristina Barcelona too a few weeks ago. Yep, I think every now and then of changing to a nice, chocolate brown (but I know The Hubs prefers me lighter). Still, I haven't ruled it out. I just get comfortable with my look and it is SCARY to make a change!! I do think LC looks better lighter, but we saw Black Swan last weekend and I loved both Mila's and Natalie Portman's gorgeous brunette hair.

Mel, I have ALWAYS wanted to go dark- esp in the winter, but have never had the guts. Want to do it together??? :)
ReplyDeleteI say go for it! At the end of the day it's just hair and can always go back to the way it was (eventually!) I love Mila's color. Keep in mind this is all coming from a person that prays every night for my hair to grow like a vine after donating 14 inches :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, I keep coming back to this post because I came across a new blog this weekend (The Little Black List) and after reading your post I think I may go darker again. Check out Little Black List if you want to see more gorgeous brunette locks. It's sick and wrong.
