Gotta love them redheads.

I dyed my hair red. Finally. I did it! It's already faded quite a bit since the appointment a couple of weeks ago, but here's a photo, taken last weekend.



And here's another, with the sun more on my hair so you can see the color perhaps a little better:



My face looks a little bloated in that one. Oh well.

I am wearing my awesomely awesome swing/trapeze coat with three-quarter sleeves. Very '60s. I have a pair of elbow-length leather gloves that William got me for my birthday, and I wear them with the coat. It makes me feel glam. And a couple people think I bear a passing resemblance to Kate Walsh.



Whatever. I can fool myself. Let me have my dream.

Red

I have always, always, always wanted red hair. My stylist wants me to take the plunge this next appointment (which I have to make).

Here's what I've been thinking.








What wethinks, peeps? Because I am SCARED.

Hair it Is

I did it! I went through with it. I'm pretty pleased with the results. I got some new colors foiled in, plus many, many inches gone. Part on a new side. Pretty much like the second Heidi photo, but my part is deep instead of center. Styling makes it look different too a bit.

Aaaaaaaand.....






Should have done some from the back. . . oh well. Some short, swingy layers back there too.

Hair Apparent

OK, after my whiny post I do have a slightly interesting blog topic if you care about hair. I'm still putting the call out, though.

My whole life I have had long, long hair. It's gotten wavier as I've gotten older. It's thick, but fine. It's a very in-between blonde color, which I have been regularly highlighting since, oh, I was 13. (It has a very ashy cast otherwise--grayish).

But the time has come. I need an update. I've lost all interest in doing anything with my hair, even though it's nice. I need an update. I had already been feeling that, but then my mom confirmed that maybe I needed a little hair makeover. And hey, if you can't count on your mom for the truth, who can you count on?

So my hair looks about like this now:


This was at the Kalaheo Coffee Company, where William and I had AWESOME breakfasts, our first morning in Kauai. (PS--I'm really mad because I think I lost my trip journal from this trip, you know, THE MOST IMPORTANT TRIP EVER, and I'm just disgusted with myself. . . ) Anyway, this is a pretty good hair day, nice humidity level in Hawaii, and I styled it.

Here are the following photos of Heidi Klum which I am taking under consideration to show my stylist Tuesday. Input is welcome... or other pictures you think I can take on? I need a little image update, but I don't want to take off too much length.

Love this but don't know if I can pull off the bangs:



Then if I get that cut, I could fluff and curl it into this?:



And yet another take on it:


And yes, I know I will not magically transform into her face, despite my hopes, nor will I achieve her thigh circumference.

Help plz. Any input good.
