One of my goals for 2008 is to keep my hair colored so the grays do not show. Well, on January 1st I decided it was time to wash those grays right out of my hair. I wanted somthing different ... a little red I thought. My original hair color is reddish brown, so I thought I would go there. I chose a color called lightest auburn. It looked pretty good to me on the box.
This is the "real red" me ... with a little "Sun In" help ... LOL. Anyone else remeber Sun In? This picture was taken of Mike and me in 1985. He had a band concert in Central Park. Gosh ... we were so skinny ... hey ... another goal???
And this is the hair color I was really going for. Kind of reddish blonde. This is Mike and me in 2004, I was pregnant with Griffin. I had really GOOD hair when I was pregnant. It was long, wavy, shiny ... just perfect.
And this is a self portrait of me today ... with my new red hair. I think it looks hot pink ... lol. I know it will relax and I will like it more when it does. I can guarantee I will NOT choose this hair color again.
You and Mike are so cute together then and now. My grays have been coming our like mad and I thought I would let them go. Well-I have for about a year or so and now I also will dye the gray out. Bought the stuff-but have not used it as yet. Since I am a MiMi-I thought I would look the part-now I have to find the time to take the gray right out of my hair. But you know what? We have earned each and every strand of gray hair *smile*

I know the felling of trying to find the right color! I have been through many shades of "brown" and I always seem to go to back to that yucky dirty blonde color!
ReplyDeleteRed looks great on you!
Have a great day!

I have a picture of me and mitch too so cute and Mitch had so much more hair! LOL
ReplyDeleteI like the red, really cute. And I see no pink!
I use Preference 7 1/2A I think!
can't remember the color only the number sorta. I know it when I see it kinda thing.
Brown with a little red then I use highliter shampoo for brunettes to lighten it up some.
Hope you find the color that makes you happy!
I don't think you're looking "pink" LOL, then you'd look like some freaky Bratz doll
ReplyDeleteI love the red!! I think it looks great!!
