Blonde or brunette...lol

Kelly,

I think both colors look great but I also like the platinum better -- but that's just my personal preference -- I'm partial to that color. As for the age thing, I don't think it's that you've TRUELY aged that quickly. It's just the hair. I thought you looked a bit younger too. That's NOT to say you look old. I find that ironic too, because a "harsh" white color like that can make a person look older. Anyway, they are both pretty so, obviously you should stick with what makes YOU happy.

With platinum (or any shade really) -- it works for some and for others it doesn't. Someone with platinum hair isn't necessarily going to look "slutty." Mine is pretty light, but it's highlighted (heavily), so it's not SOLID platinum. Trust me, I look like a goody-goody.

Oh, and I forgot to say that I'm a blonde too. Always was very close to white blonde, then, for some reason, I went darker blonde. Then, after maybe 6 months I compared my pics and... realized that a lighter blonde looks actually better on me and fits my personality better. So, I went back to my loved very light blonde (and my bf likes me much better with this blonde)

No offense, Kelly, but the first pic I love (the platinum blond) !!!

OMG.....I ended up getting so platinum and fake (gradually...) by last summer. I hate looking at pictures before I started darkening it.

Thanks Alayney, yeah ex was being nice, his comment was "you look better in person than in that photo" which was honest =) hes a good mate of mine now.
Yeah i did think about that aye, if the blonde all turned to sh*te then id just dump a whole heap of dark brown over the top...sure my hair would be abit fried and the bleached streaks wouldnt take the colour well but im willing to risk it. Just means ill have to invest in both blonde and dark brown extensions, though i can just sell the ones i dont use =D
Yeah id love to look like a playboy bunny but seriously, those girls are so fake looking its not cool. I think i will settle for an alright body (with a fab push up bra) and a good fake tan lol. Will post pics when im all blonded out =D

Well, if you say so, but DON'T let a rotten ex bf determine that! I can't believe someone would even say that to a person anyway. So, have you decided yet? I was thinking, you should go blonde because it's easier to go brown AFTER blonde than to go blonde AFTER brown. I definitely get the "OMG Wow" being blonde, and I rather enjoy it -- although it's been so long since I was dark that I can't really remember if I got it back then -- I was definitely happy being darker, but being blonde has been an EXPERIENCE. Don't get TOO "Barbie" though -- it can get to be looking a little ridiculous. I mean don't be changing ALL of you, you know? Like some of these silly Hollywood girls. But do have fun.

As for the other girl who has black hair and wants to be blonde. It is NOT impossible. One time I made a REALLY BAD color choice (for me) and ended up with striking blonde, striking red, and what I called black but was actually a very very dark brown -- I called it the rocker chic 'do -- it can be cool but it just was NOT me. When I went back to my stylist I asked her to take me back to my platinum ... and she did with no problem and in one visit. Of course, going slow is fine too. I didn't need to for whatever reason -- and my hair was fine -- shiny and healthy looking.

Oh I would love to go blonde, very light blonde, but...I dyed my hair black about half a year ago and I was told it's impossible to bleach .
My natural color is dark blonde, very dark blonde.
On the other hand I'm blessed with stroooong hair and I've been getting away with things many others wouldn't.
I was blonde once and it's true; you get treated completely different and it was fun, having cars stop before you actually show you want to cross the road LOL. I'd love to have another go at it.
I read that the manic panic bleach kit doesn't hurt your hair too much and it goes platinum for anyone...does anyone here know about that?

I'd appreciate something else then "forget it!", but I still heed warnings of course

I'm blonde and to be honest I don't get the "OMG blonde hair!" reaction that other people talk about. In fact, I think nowadays brunette hair is becoming rarer and people are more intrigued by darker hair. Blonde is really common nowadays because everyone's going that colour thinking it will look better on them, when in actual fact they don't stand out any more than a brunette with shiney, well-conditioned hair. I think you should go brunette personally!

Yeah sultry brunettes do get treated more seriously unfortunately. Oh well, im going into a salon this week to have a fiddle on their hair style chooser computer-im pasty white at the moment so i dont think any colours would be complimentary LOL and i hate having my photo taken (otherwise i would post them here!).

It probably sounds kinda tacky but i love bridgets (1 of hugh heffners gfs) hair. I think its because she has the deep tan as well (and the body and the face etc etc) and shes able to pull it off. My mother was horrified to think that i would want my hair like that lol

Thanks for your comments though =) its always nice to know how people respond to different haircolours.
