I've kept my brunette locks pretty much the same for years. This summer, I'm thinking of changing it up. Nothing dramatic, just lightening my hair a little. Possibly giving it a brighter, more golden hue for summer. My hair lightens up in the summer sun, but I figure I'd help give it a helping hand.
The only thing is I haven't dyed my hair in forever, so if you have any tips on doing it at home I'd love to hear them!
Are you changing your hair this summer?
I dye my hair at home, but I don't have any tips, sadly... I'm really bad at it :S But it's easy when you're dyeing dark hair dark. I think you'll look great with your hair lightened up a bit, but maybe enlist a friend to help? Two sets of hands is always better than one!
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
Good idea!
DeleteI think it's nice to lighten your hair during the summer, that's what I did!
ReplyDeleteI would not recommend lightening your hair by yourself, darkening is easy, but I would go get that professionally done, and the results turn out so much better. You can ask for outer highlights :)
Can't wait to see how it turns out! xx
That's very true! I'll have to look into that!
DeleteI love the look of sun-kissed hair for summer. If there's ever a time to do pretty, natural highlights, it's now! I lightened up my hair a little bit for summer, which is a big change for me. I never really dye it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alyssa!
DeleteJessica Alba's is perfection!

Deletei have noticed people are dying their hair a little lighter for summer. i tried using a box of blonde hair dye (not bleach) to dye my hair once. since my hair is naturally dark i left it on for TWICE the time it said and it barely lightened my hair. I don't want to tell you to buy platinum blonde dye or anything because I don't want to be responsible if you hate it :-P but i just wanted to let you know that its hard to lighten brown hair.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great point! But I don't want to go too much lighter. Guess we'll see what happens! lol
DeleteBeautiful hair styles! Love the soft, beachy waves :)
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking a lot about changing things up this summer as well. I want a little bit messy and shorter, like the photo you have of Jessica Alba.
ReplyDeleteThat would look great!
DeleteHi sweety!! Thanks for stopping by, I heartily appreciate it :)

Thanks!
DeleteI love the idea of changing up your hair for the seasons - I actually just cut mine about 2 inches (which doesn't seem like a lot) - but it feels like a big change :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't done it before but it seems nice to lighten it for summer!
DeleteI think you would look great with lighter locks. Sometimes I wish I could go with a hair color this light.

DeleteLove Jessica Alba's hair! I am thinking of going shorter lately and that's definitely inspiration for me.

ReplyDeleteThanks! Glad you like them!
DeleteI love soft, beachy waves! Sadly, my hair never holds a curl... not even loose curls like those! :(
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cee, you could add some highlights for summer!
