do this: get a new hair style

After almost a year of not coloring my hair, I’m biting the bullet and hitting the salon on Thursday. I’m a natural blonde but like most blondes, my hair has darkened over time. I’ve been highlighting it for a few years now and after our wedding last year decided to give my hair a break. I’ve developed what I call the natural ombré look a.k.a my roots are now halfway down my head. Luckily, my natural hair color isn’t that different from my highlighted strands but I think it’s finally time to become a beachy, sun-kissed blonde again.

I’ve been back and forth about whether I should change my hair style along with my color. I got side swept bangs a few months ago and love them, but am hesitant to do anything more than my typical trim. A few years ago, I impulsively did the asymmetrical bob that Victoria Beckham was sporting at the time. Needless to say, what I thought would be a fun hairdo was so much work! I had no idea that having short hair required so much maintenance. I have been anxiously growing it out ever since. I love the look of the long bob (and think it could still be manageable to style) so I guess we’ll see what decision I make on Thursday. Fingers crossed it comes out OK!
