Well, I don't know if it's all the crap that has been going on in my life lately or what...but a few days ago I did something drastic. Probably wouldn't be considered drastic to many of you, but for me it was. I dyed my hair dark! I'm 23 and have never, ever dyed my hair (save for highlights) and have certainly never gone dark. Just up and did it one day. I actually think it looks nice but I must admit I kinda do a double-take when I see a mirror right now
I'd love to get opinions on it...it was supposed to come out a bit darker but I think it ended up with some reddish tones to it...probably because I had blonder highlights or something. My Dad is getting married in April so it'll need to be touched up by then and I'm thinking of going slightly more brown (i.e. darker). Anyways, let me know what you think:

I tried to just post the pictures but they were coming out HUGE and I didn't want to cause anyone trouble...so sorry you have to go to the link ![](/messageboards/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif)

I agree...very nice. No matter how you got them, the red highlights are very flattering!

Kelly, it's positively electric. Low lights would work, but (and I don't know how you feel about this) maybe a trim might be better? Some soft layering for more "flow?" I love it. It warms up your face & accentuates your eyes.

Hey Kate,
I'm kinda clueless when it comes to my hair...what do you mean a trim for more flow? Like even shorter than that? Because that was actually quite short for me...I think I had about 3-4 inches taken off. Could you be a bit more specific?

Hey Kelly,
Sorry this took so long! I absolutely love you new hair, I think the colour is very flattering! I think sometimes it's a bit scary to go darker at first, but it looks so gorgeous!
Red hair is so flattering on some people, I think it looks beautiful on you.
If you get anything else done, let us see that too!
**hugs** Lovely!
Cheers, --Steph

i dye my hair all the time, a few months ago i bleached the front, tried to dye it fushia, but it ended up bright red...a week later i made it maroon. but now i just have it black. i like dying my hair...it's fun. and you didn't do anything crazy drasitc like i did! (though i didn't do it on purpose)
i think it looks really good though i like the color, it's not a huge huge change, which i'm guessing is what you were going for!!
