Hair today..or maybe tomorrow?

Throughout my life I have noticed girls are broken down into two different groups. Other than the girls who just prefer to stay natural, girls either embrace changes to their haircolor, or are too scared to try anything with it. Well, I just happen to be, and come from a long line of women who embrace change. I, being Italian, was born a natural dark brunette. But who is to say that I need to always be brunette? I say they sell hair color for a reason so why not try something new? Hair is just hair, it can always be put back the way it started. Now for those of you who know me know I have been, brown, black, red, blonde and everything in between. Not all looked that great on me.. but hey, how would I have known if I didn't try it? If it was up to my mom, I would just leave my hair the color it is, but if I wasn't my mothers daughter..maybe I would;) But in all seriousness, I say embrace change! With summer coming up, shorts and sundresses being pulled out, sweaters being put away, why not change up your look a bit?

Now, with that being said, girls tend to forget a few things, when they change up their haircolor.

1. Eyebrows. (sorry Madonna I love you anyway)

    If you make a drastic color change to your hair, you really should dye your eyebrows as well. Sally Hansen sells a face bleach that you can use to lighten up your eyebrows a few shades, but I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you know what you are doing. Let say for the sake of argument, you decide to do it yourself. Remember these helpful tips. Be sure to put vaseline around the areas you don't want bleach to get on, such as around the outsides of your eyebrow lines to avoid burning your skin. Next, only leave the bleach on 2 or 3 min and then check them, to avoid completely bleaching out your eyebrows. ALSO be sure not to put too much onto your eyebrows, or it can fall into your eyes and that would be REALLY bad. After your eyebrows are lightened up, you can apply the color you put in your hair on your eyebrows, or just leave them the way they are if they look ok. So please please if you decide to do this yourself, be very careful!!

2. Makeup

  Girls sometimes don't realize when they change their hair color, that they have to change up their makeup as well. If you're use to wearing dark makeup with your dark hair, you may need to change it up a little bit. If you wear lighter makeup and go dark with your hair, then you might want to think about changing that as well. If you have blonde hair and you are used to wearing a pink, or light colored lipstick, dark hair might be a little too much with such a light lip and visa versa. Like I say all the time, trial and error is your best friend!

Dark hair is pretty easy to do with a cheap box of color. But blonde on the other hand, or red on blonde, is a whole other story. Be sure if you are doing a very drastic change or using a lot of bleach that you see a professional, or you'll end up spending a lot more money in the end, trying to fix it.

Well, good luck! I would love to see some posts if you do decide to change your hair color! Happy summer everyone:)
