In July on the eve of my 25th birthday I took a big risk and did something for the first time. I dyed my hair…Well I didn’t do it, Linda did and it was just highlights. But, it was still a big deal for this peroxide virgin. My hair is my security blanket and I have always been resistant to change. Ever since I started seeing Linda at Vancoouver ‘s Lure Salon I have lost all of my scissor phobia and the next logical step was to experiment with colour.

I adore Minka Kelly’s hair so she was the point of reference for this mini-makeover. Linda added thin caramel highlights through the front and around the crown of my head and then free handed pieces underneath. She chose a colour that naturally exists in my colour profile (since everyone has multi-dimensional colour, with or without dye). Overall the look is subtle and natural. In short, I love it and don’t know what took me so long to do this!
My hair has grown 3 inches since July and my next appointment isn’t until December (!), but regrowth is not a problem with this look. Because the highlights are so thin and placed strategically for blending, they will grow out to give an almost ombre look. I am already considering what my next colour experiment should be.
How was your first experience with hair dye? Did you love it or hate it?
Very nice.
You are so beautiful..
You are too sweet Nancy
