This one’s on hold for now.
I really do like my hair how it is at the moment..
How to highlight my hair
How I did it: I had a professional do it for me. My hair is jet black and standard colour wouldnt show up. so I needed to do a double step of first lightening my hair and then applying the colour. Thankfully these days you can do the job in one go. But its not that great for your hair. Hair does get dryer and breaks easily. And.. it wears off in a few months.
Lessons & tips: Dont try very contrasting colours the first time. If you've got black hair like mine.. stick to dark brown or burgundy highlights

The last time I had highlights put in my hair, my mom did them. They turned out gorgeous .. but in fear of making my hair too light, I’ve put off getting them re-done for about 2 years now. My hair still looks pretty, but I hate how the majority of the color on top is obviously a little darker.
I am coming off an craptastic divorce/foreclosure/bankruptcy. I need a change. I have this stupid box of dye for two weeks now… sitting in my bathroom cabinet… just staring at me…. I used to dye my hair all the time… not sure why I can’t break down and just do it. For whatever reason it has become a HUGE mental obstacle for me… well… tonight… I am going to make another attempt not to avoid it and just get it done.

when I finally grow it back out to one color I decided I want to change it again. This time, I think I might try something new and go a bit reddish. Sorta strawberry blond if you will.
And I`m so lucky!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!
My hair is now black with red highlight!!

So I finally got up the courage to get a new hairstyle—and to get highlights. I love my new do and get compliments all the time. What a simple way to boost esteem.
But if you’re going to get them, you have to pony up the dough to keep them nice. I had to throw out all of my hair products and buy new “color safe” ones. If you cheap out on this part, your highlights will get brassy. All that money you spent on them will be wasted!
So, I’d say getting highlights is worth doing. However, once you include maintenance costs it ended up being much more costly than I had thought it would be.
I`m gonna highlight my hair soon!! Highlights are gonna be black and blue =))
Well, after almost a year of wanting, I finally got my hair highlighted today. I got my base lightened from my dark chestnut color to a copper brown. I also have some great red highlights. Go me!
The only problem I have is I think my hair was cut a little too short. Ah, well. It’ll grow back. It’ll be back to its original length by September.
