Hairdresser tomorrow, I want a change...

I used to be the girl who never had the same haircut twice. Now I'm just a clone of the mums I see at playgroup.

Mid length, full head of highlights and all over mousey colour to hide the all too many greys.

I've had cut and grown out so many fringes, I've been every colour under the sun. From peroxide blonde to navy to pilar box red.

I was dark when I met and married dh. He always. Says he prefers it dark, but would never tell me to do anything. I like it dark too but the upkeep of dying it with the grey roots coming through is a night mare. It's shiny when dark. Blonde and its a bit meh.

It's currently the longest I have had it for years and I like being able to do things with it, so maybe I just need to change the colour.

I'm rambling now!! Does anyone have a suggestion???

Oh chebella, you are no help! :o

I used to be told I looked like Kelly Osborne, but not sure I could pull off lilac.

I do like this

Seeing as you are an expert, do you think it could be done in one sitting? Or would I have to bleach then tint?

I went back to dark and got a blunt fringe recently, I love it! The roots are easier to hide with the fringe, there's just the top bit to touch up and not all around the temples. Go for a Claudia Winkleman like me!

I love it!! youl have to pre lighten all over and have a toner on, I love having white hair you can have all sorts of different toners from platinum, grey, pastel colours and silver. I love having pastel colours. 'dusty rose' is my favourite quite like the pic but more pink than purpley. Go for it!!! please update us all! Grin Grin

I have sent a message to my hairdresser to see what she thinks. Also I'm not sure they will have the colour in. Might need to get it in specially.

Mine was mousey brown and highlighted until this afternoon when my hairdresser put an all over PURPLE on it. The dark bits that were originally there are no brunette, the rest a plummy purple and the highlights bright purple Grin

BEST thing I did!

Pixie cut sounds great, but I don't suit my hai shot. I'm too round in the face.

I like the dark better. It would look lovely dark with some red or purple in it.

The condition looks lovely in that brunette pic but I like you with lighter hair. I would no do the blonde/ pink combo...I think this only works on those with the palest, most ghostly of complexions. I think you should do what Swooosh did :) I also think a longer, sideswept fringe would be more flattering.

OP I could have written your post! I'm exactly the same, I always had different and usually cool hair and now I'm bored and feel identikit. I hate mine blonde but dark is so hard to keep up to now I'm really grey! I can't go too different though because of work.

I like yours dark, it's very shiny and I think it suits your skin tone. How about dark blue?

GlaikitFizzog · 30/08/2013 19:37

I am very pale, blue infact!

Hairdresser has messages me back to say it would take a couple of visits to get the lilac. She is having a think tonight
