New hair

I got my hair cut & highlighted today. It's a fairly standard bob cut with blond highlights in the front...




...but this part is way different that what I usually get (alternating red/blond highlights and lowlights). Only the top layer of hair is brunette/blond; the layers underneath are now all red (it's highlighted in large panels instead of the usual small sections). As you can see from the pic above, the red just peeks through if I leave it down. If I want to make it more exciting, I can pull back the top layer to show all of the red. Yay!


I'm gradually working my way up to this haircut (but not as severe in the back):

(I'll probably go back to all red when I get this cut)

I was going to get it this time, but decided I wanted to keep some length since it's still summer and I want the option to pull back my hair when it's disgustingly hot. Damn summer for interfering with my hair! :)

Very nice. It might be interesting to work up to more red coming through the top layer.

Oh - pretty. I SO want to be a redhead. For some reason, "dirty blond" is just *not* an appealing color!

Christina: I go to the Aveda Institute in the Century mall. It's way cheaper than a regular salon, but you get the same services:

Barbara: you should go red! You could totally rock a nice auburn!

I totally love the hair, but dear God, what did you let her do to your face! I'd sue!
