my hair before lowlights disaster pics*

i think if you just razor cut the black ends or at least cut them to the length of the blonde it should look a little better..or remove the color....just a thought

Thanks everybody for your well wishes!! Don't worry Dave, you didn't offend me  I am getting my hair done tomorow and will post pictures hopefully by the end of the week.

Talk to everyone soon!

Noelle

Good luck Noey!  I'm sure your hair will turn out great!

P.S. I hope my last message here about your hair was not discouraging (It was not meant to be).

I wish U not only luck - i also wish u keep Ur hair long!

Blessed be

any news?

Hi Noey! I had the same issue awhile back for my sister's wedding. She ended up choosing a very good AVEDA salon in Whittier, CA, and I had a pretty updo with lots of spiral curls pinned up very securely and virtually no damage to my hair. I think AVEDA salons are usually more sensitive about being very careful with long hair. Is there any chance you can help choose the salon with your future sister in law? Or maybe you can wear an updo wig (just kidding). What about a french twist? Those are so pretty and elegant, and very protective of your hair. You could have the salon put it up with a sparkly french twist comb. Here are some links for you:

Hey Noey, that really does suck to have a so-called friend do that.....you have such a great attitude. Your hair will be back to the way you like it in no time. Thanks for sharing your experience as it really makes me more careful about who I select to work on my hair.

what's the "color master"?[/QUOTE]

MissMareeJane - The girl who wrecked my hair took a 3 day Goldwell course and now she has an ad in the  local paper that says "Book with Rose Goldwell color master."  Its just a stupid title because she passed some 3 day course about color and stuff.  I am suprised she even passed!  I know for a fact that she got her hairdressing licence by the skin of her teeth.  I was stupid for letting her do my hair, but she was a friend of mine and kept bugging me to let her color my hair.  She was often offended when we would go out and people would compliment my hair (before she wrecked it), it offended her because when girls asked me who did my hair I would tell them about my hairdresser in London and then they would usually ask why I didn't get Rose to do it.  I always said because I didn't want to mix hair and friendship.  Well I wish I never backed down!!  We are not even friends anymore because she handled then whole situation very unprofessionaly and never said she was sorry for alot of my hair falling out and breaking off.  Whatever!!!  What goes around comes around.  I just need to stay positive and thats what this board is all about!

Hi guys,

Thank you so much for your replys.  Every day I come home from work and go straight to the computer to check this site. 

To answer a few questions:

Like Rini, I think either color by itself would look good.  The harsh contrast is odd to me.  What is the natural color - is it as dark as the underneath section is now?  What to do depends on what you want.  As time passes the blonde sections will start growing out... will you re-blonde the new growth, leave as is, or darken the blonde?
[/QUOTE]

Dave - my hair is naturally medium brown.  The color underneath is dyed that dark.  My goal is to keep growing and touch up the regrowth with blond every 6 weeks and eventually grow out the layers to cover up the underneath dark layer.  As you can see from the front picture, it dosn't look bad - I just don't like the major contrast in the back because of the layers. This way - I don't have to highlight my entire head of hair and some of it (the dark) remains healthy and untouched by bleach.

MISSMARIEJANE - Noey is my nickname.  It is short for Noelle.  Thanks for saying it is cute!!

I will keep everyone updated when I go to get my roots touched up in April.  I wish I could try red or a warm brown all over, but I feel I look best as a blonde.  I used to have dyed dark brown hair in high school and when I got my first blond highlights I started to get more attention and when my hair became more blonde I felt more confident.  I also feel I don't need to wear much make up with blond hair because it agrees with my skin tone.

Talk to you soon!

Noelle

 

 

Hi Noey! (is that your real name? i like it! ) I don't think your hair looks
bad. Infact, I think you pull off the look nicely. To change it I would
suggest going over your whole head with a medium honey brown dye,
which will darken those blonde areas and bring more warm hues to your
overall color. A golden brown would look really great with your eye color
too...
