Today I look more like my doppleganger than I have in a while. I wanted to take my hair a deeper shade of brunette. I read somewhere (maybe "Allure") that the most beautiful shades of brown hair are either very dark or very light - my mousy in the middle just wasn't doing me any justice.
I wanted a shade closer to this:
But ended up being more on the dark side see below:
And due to my ends being more porous they absorbed more color so are a bit darker. To my delight a permanent was used on the top of my hair and a semi-permanent on the bottom, so it will fade faster. I'm still getting used to the slight change in color, it's really not that drastic - but hey! change in change and I'm very particular about my hair! I also gave myself a spray tan in hopes that I would feel a bit more confident and less goth like. I've been assured that it's impossible for me to look gothic; however, I'm keeping my nails red, my lips light pink and my hair curled. I obviously don't subscribe to the rule that you should go lighter in the summer. You should always have a color hair that brings out the best in your features! For me it's dark: it brings out the tan in my skin, the green-ness of my eyes and creates less emphasis on my freckles!
Hope you're having a great weekend!
