Blonde moment

Soo I wasn't born a natural blonde but I feel much more myself as one, bright, bubbly and cheerful

I've had my moments of "let's go brunette" and loved it for about a day, my hair got butchered in Raleigh I mean absolutely butchered with the worst hair color I've ever had at two separate "high end" salons I didn't even feel safe going to one for a single process color so after consulting two of my oldest friends on the matter I bought a box- yup at target- and colored my own hair , hubs was a bit horrified at my actions considering he knows how picky I am about my hair ( I found out I was preggo a few days later so maybe the hormones caused me to act like a lunatic) it was an awful shade of brunette / auburn then some strange ombré tone during the holidays my girlfriends were sweet not to mention it at my baby shower and I curled it constantly to help camouflage the situation

Three weeks after ms peanut was Born I headed to a well known dc area salon for highlights and it's been a long road but I think I'm finally getting back to my blond self:)

It takes a few trips to get it perfect with tone and coolness I prefer a cooler blonde rather than a warm tone.. So here are some pics I'm taking with me today ... Can't wait to celebrate the official start of summer with a new do

 love these lowlights

Love this!

I love the second pic and actually sent it to my cousin (who does my hair) because i wanted the exact color. Oh, and I had my awkward brunette days. I am always so embarrassed to look back at those pictures!

Yay, blondes! I'm naturally a very dirty blonde, and about eight months ago went from heavy blonde highlights to brunette. I love it, but there are days I miss my goldilocks!

Keep Shining,

my blonde friends have to go through so much stress making sure their color is right, so i know what you're dealing with! me, i'm a box redhead all the way....for some reason, salon red never stays in for very long!
