What is it that they say about brunettes?

I know the old adage: “Blondes have more fun.”

So what do they say about brunettes? :)

I’ve been wanting to do something different with my hair for about a year now. I’ve been doing the same blonde highlights for about 10 years, only varying my style with the length from time to time. Last fall, I considered going dark—closer to my natural color—but chickened out.

But when I called my stylist to make an appointment and found that he couldn’t fit me in for like two months, I decided to go a different route altogether. I cheated on my stylist, and came out with completely different hair.

Check it out:

It’s been three weeks already, so this is kind of old news. But I realized I never shared. I really like the way it turned out, and it was just the change I was needing. I’ll probably go back to the blonde highlights come springtime, but this is a nice look for fall/winter.

I have no idea how to upkeep dyed hair. My stylist recommended going back in 8-10 weeks for more dye, but knowing me, I’ll probably push it longer, until it looks like crap. :)

Have you done anything different with your hair lately? Do you go dark for fall?
