Plus being in a place with a lot of rain you will possibly always hate them (I had bangs for years, grew them out... moved to Amsterdam, got bangs again, got rained on, hated life... moved to Victoria, got bangs again, got rained on again, hated life AGAIN). <br /><br />The last couple times I got my hair done my mom convinced me to get highlights and I told the stylist that I would NOT do any upkeep. She put them in kind of jaggedy away from the root so I don't get roots. <br /><br />I hope that helps :)Shauna (Fido and Wino)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06214298484954303975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076532818291719012.post-44612483203609560822013-02-18T10:12:25.515-08:002013-02-18T10:12:25.515-08:00Rather than coloring the roots, what about cutting...Rather than coloring the roots, what about cutting a few inches and coloring the ends a lighter shade?

You really, truly do look fantastic. Sometimes a very small change (cut off ~1-2 inches) will bring back bounce and life. The only thing I would say for sure is don't fall prey to the allure of bangs. TOO MUCH WORK. Not enough bobby-pins in the world for bangs, as far as I'm concerned. That said, though - I'll bet you'd look amazing with bangs. Boy, I'm a lot of help, aren't I? Don't do this! Do this! Wait, do THIS! Wait, don't do anything!!<br /><br />How about you just go have some cheese? That's always a wonderful idea.

Mind you, I am a man so my opinion on these things is probably flawed, but I would think you want something very simple to deal with on a day-to-day basis. I would also think you may want something shorter that you can grow out because you may not be going to a salon very much and you need to get rid of the damaged ends anyway. So, I would think you get something shorter (maybe shoulder length or just above the shoulders) with some layers and if the coloring needs to match, then *maybe* you try to get the dyed part to come closer to your natural color. Every girl I have know with long hair usually wears it up because doing something with it involves time and I imagine you don't have a lot of it. Just my thoughts. -Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695248992142605013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076532818291719012.post-25210936348247972013-02-08T12:49:01.768-08:002013-02-08T12:49:01.768-08:00I think if you gave yourself more layers and a tri...I think if you gave yourself more layers and a trim your hair would look really good. I have wavy(ish) hair myself and I find that that brings out more curl and lays better around my face. Although you could be completely different.

Please don't ...First off you are gorgeous lady! Please don't think otherwise. <br /><br />I would say do something that requires the least amount of work/upkeep. I color my hair myself, but it's a dark brown so I can't go light without having to go to the hairstylist regularly and that costs money (something I can't afford). I really only color it because I have alotttta white hairs. Since I was in my late teens/early 20s. True story.<br /><br />If you do want some sort of change, I say cut it! Make sure your hair stylist cuts it in such a way that it grows out nicely and you don't have to go back for another 6 months or so (that's what mine does). <br /><br />I hope that helps a bit!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323696998854147831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076532818291719012.post-65329031658443558342013-02-08T10:39:11.313-08:002013-02-08T10:39:11.313-08:00My hair is the polar opposite of yours, so I have ...My hair is the polar opposite of yours, so I have no advice.

If it's going to be a repeat of last year, then you need to keep things really simple with your hair. I wouldn't color it and I'd get a style that requires minimal upkeep (bangs will need to be trimmed and if you're not up for doing it on your own, they might be too much for a minimal style). But, if you're thinking "never again will I skip out on the salon for an entire year," then maybe you can be a little more complex with color and/or cut. Whatever you decide, you'll still be beautiful. =)Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076532818291719012.post-1254858023227068562013-02-08T09:28:34.849-08:002013-02-08T09:28:34.849-08:00Just so you know, most salons have ammonia-free dy...Just so you know, most salons have ammonia-free dyes.

I actually had the same issue - my hair has not been coloured in almost 5 years now... I'm lucky not to have gray and as i've gotten older, it's gotten naturally darker which works with my eyebrows... anyways, I ended up going to a friend who suggested someone who I convinced to come to my home and cut my hair for 1/2 the cost of going to her salon (this is my first suggestion) - ask your close friends (who have awesome cuts) if they know of anyone who is willing to go to your home and do that. It's cheaper. I pay $40. The other option is one I'm hesitant to do... but curious none the less... Vancouver hairdressing academy - totally hit or miss, but cheap and usually more time is spent (i walked in the other day to the one on granville and will be trying it out next week I think... gah...) - www.vancouverhairacademy.com they had lots of info on the website and the salon (on south granville just over the bridge) was wicked.<br />I agree - the expense is hard. I had to cut back and once I did, I realized how nice my natural hair colour is (as is yours!!!!), but the cut is really what makes the difference.<br />Let me (us all here...) know what you find!khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117025999296822435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076532818291719012.post-1781289375626618222013-02-08T09:12:13.497-08:002013-02-08T09:12:13.497-08:00I think we have similar hair types - mine is fine ...I think we have similar hair types - mine is fine but a lot of it. Although I veer more in the direction of curly. My stylist is amazing and what's worked best is some layers, long side swept bangs (past my cheekbones) that blend in with the rest of my hair. And I'm on the wrong side of long right now, but my hair seems to look best when I'm at just past shoulder length. Last year, I discovered hot rollers, and while usually I'm a messy ponytail person, any time I need to look styled, they are like magic. <br /><br />You might be able to ask your stylist about single process dyes that just add color and fade a bit over time, so you aren't messing with the roots that have already grown out.<br /><br />But I think your hair looks great.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16603700427096296937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076532818291719012.post-28207546697185759062013-02-08T09:11:27.005-08:002013-02-08T09:11:27.005-08:00Honestly...

I am in the same boat and I HATE IT.<br /><br />But! I was also in the same color boat a couple years ago and I just rocked that fake-ombre shit till it grew out. I was over coloring my hair (chemicals) (although I hadn't yet gone gray, thanks LG), but my hair stylist said people pay her good money to give them the hair color I had naturally ("naturally"), so, whatever. No color.<br /><br />Then, by the time I got around to getting another haircut, most all of the color had grown out, so it wasn't a huge deal. I think as long as your lop off the dead ends and get a refresher cut/style, then the color won't bother you as much.<br /><br />Also, I've been thinking about bangs myself, but I am scared to pull the trigger. Maybe if I had somewhere (an office job) to go everyday, where I would be forced to do my hair? But I fear they'd just wind up in a clip and all my baby hairs (again, thanks LG) would poke up and annoy me.<br /><br />This was a long comment about hair.<br /><br />Anyway, you're gorgeous, so whatever you do you'll pull off fabulously :-)Home Sweet Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603716260190890317noreply@blogger.com
