hurr.

remember when my hair looked like this?

for some crazy reason, i dyed it for the wedding.

i've been regretting it since, and waiting for my hair to grow out.

because of that, lately, my hair has been looking like this:

 i have no idear why the dark brown dye turned so much lighter than my real hair. but there was a solid blah line where you could tell that my previous color was growing out.

i actually liked it somewhat. i liked that it gave some interest. but not enough interest.......

since i'm growing my hair out anyway, i thought i'd have some fun with it while i can. 

i called up my hair dresser and asked if she could dye my hair in the ombre style we've been hearing so much about. (lc)

she said yes....with some hesitation.
 yesterday, i went in and took my hair from this:

 to this.

 i liked it......it looked natural and i liked how the highlights were lighter. but it wasn't as drastic as i was hoping for. 

 you actually couldn't tell much of a difference at all. 

so i called my hair gal up for a re-do. 

she was really sweet, and this time i came with more of an explanation and a super cute photo as an example. (more lc.)

so here i am...."under" the dryer. (first time, ever!)

i think she understood that i wanted it pretty light at the bottom.

so she lightened it quite a bit....and this is what i saw when i got home:

 so light!!!! i had a slight panic attack...but after i styled it, i really like it. i've never done anything fun with my hair before. (okay...maybe i DID have a mohawk in 10th grade...and maybe i did dye my hair with box dyes a lot when i was going through weird a "emo" stage, but thats not what we are here to discuss).

i'm pretty happy with the end result. i hope it still looks good on days when i don't do my hair. as in, when i straighten it or put it in a pony tail. i guess we'll find out tomorrow. ha!

here it is:
