Not Me! Monday: You All Ready For This?
On Friday, my hair did NOT look something like this:
I certainly did NOT have too many split ends because I am diligent about getting my hair trimmed every 4-6 weeks, just like every magazine and style expert recommends. My bangs were NOT hanging pathetically and begging for some fun.And I was definitely NOT sick of the half-colored/half-grown out look.
Oh, and I did NOT manage to avoid showing off my sad roots in this picture...
I have NOT been planning for two months to make a drastic change to my 'do.
I did NOT wait to make such a change so that I could get used to the idea and/or talk myself out of it.
I was NOT a little nervous when I went to the salon for my appointment, and I was NOT excited when I met my new stylist, Paul. I did NOT giggle when I saw his pink bedazzled styling tools and I did NOT thoroughly enjoy talking about boys and books and Kate Gosselin's new extensions with him.
I was NOT a little disappointed the first time he washed out the color when it was a little different than I expected. And I was NOT a tiny bit nervous when he suggested adding a toner to try to do what I really wanted. I totally trusted this complete stranger, so what is there to be nervous about?
And when he was finally finished--three and a half hours later--I did NOT absolutely fall in LOVE with this:
Tell me you do NOT love it, too!

Oh.
ReplyDeleteMy.
GOODNESS!!!
Karen, it's gorgeous! Yay for you!
Very cute! And I like your new profile picture too!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are happy with the outcome! It's like a whole new you...hope your day is filled with rave reviews!
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteWhat a change. It looks super cute on you.
You are much braver than I am. When I talk about "changing" my hair, it usually just means going from darker blonde to lighter blonde, or visa versa.
And the bangs...They're great!
LOVE IT!! Good job! I went dark a few years back, have loved it ever since!
ReplyDeleteYes! I do love it and it's not just because that's about the color of my own hair! ;)
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! The new color totally makes your eyes pop! Paul did a really good job!
ReplyDeleteI love it! You look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI really really like it:) It totally makes your eyes pop!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love it! You look amazing. MUCH better than whorey Kate.
ReplyDeleteYou look great! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan! Sexy sexy!
ReplyDeleteNow, I want to go back to black.
And now you need to change your layout because I always think of you as a redhead...
I LOVE dark hair. My new girl didn't go dark enough in November and I've already got roots. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThe new color makes your very pretty eyes totally pop, by the way.
Oh, and I keep meaning to ask you: what kind of stuff do you write?
I agree with Melanie J that the darker color really makes your eyes stand out. I would go darker but I am so white I would look completely goth. Even if you don't like it at least you can pull it off (and it didn't turn purple the way mine did at the stylist last year).
ReplyDeleteI love the color and the cut! and your expression in the bottom pic says to me that you definitely feel cooler, prettier, chic-er... something along those lines. Darker is definitely for you, my friend!
ReplyDeleteGreat color! I'm always tempted to do something brave and bold like that, but I'm a chicken when it comes to my hair.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me... it's been a good two months since I last saw my stylist... eeek!

Looks great, K-Lo! Big hair changes are always the best. :)
ReplyDeleteYour new hairstyle/color looks great!
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful! (Nothing like an 80's male sitcom star. Who knew that was an option?)
ReplyDeleteI DO love it! It's super cute, and a big change. What a great way to start a new year!
ReplyDeleteLove the cut and color. Looks great on you. And I have to agree with everyone else who said that it makes your eyes pop! Good for you for going for it.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a big change! I love the new color!
ReplyDeleteNice! So much different! Looks good! (So many exclamation points!)
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to have a refreshing change! I so need a haircut! Maybe a new do will make me feel better, it's been much, much longer than 6 weeks!~ Yikes!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE it! It makes your eyes POP!!!
ReplyDeleteGood job girl!
Lovely lovely hair! It's great on you :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Great change! Looks great!! If you participate in blog awards, I left you one on my 100th blog post. :-)
ReplyDeleteA whole new you!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit- I like the red, too, and will miss it.
But the dark- va-va-va-voom!
Wow!!! You look amazing, Karen!! I did like the red hair on you but the dark hair really makes your eyes stand out even more!
ReplyDeleteYou are a true beauty!!!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! You have amazing eyes, btw.....this looks fabulous on you. :)
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks fantastic, Karen!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the new cut! You're eyes look like an entirely different color, too <3
ReplyDeleteHowever, people are going to say we look even more alike now ;)
But I went and chopped my hair off, too, so it's all good because mine is super short now.
I love it!! Wow, the color is great on you :)
