let's vote

Gabe is going on a rafting trip.  I'm going to get my hair cut and colored.  

I'm sure you're asking yourself, "But why?  Brooke's hair is already "colored"--a couple of colors, in fact.  It's like day and night, what with the dark on top and light on the ends."

I have had my hair cut exactly one time since this incident.  It's time to brave the salons once again.

Now.  Should I go with brown or blonde?  Can I pull off a new color by going brunette? And when I say "new" I am of course ignoring the fact that my hair has been turning browner with each passing year for the last 10 years.  I'm asking you.  What do you think I should do?  I also have the itch to go short.  The problem is that I'm indecisive, so I would appreciate any advice you might care to give.

I will for sure make certain that my stylist can see this time around.  Fool me once (into assuming you can see, just because you're willing to come near my head with scissors and then charge me for it) shame on you...as the saying goes.

I'm all for natural. haha. My hair is hilarious because its also been turning brown for years, but i do have blonde highlights (all natural) from the sun. I say try to stay as natural as possible.

I agree with the natural thing but my stylist just came back from a hair show in Vegas and she say the "big" thing is to add a pop of color here and there...primary colors are in. I had mine done in red. I'm a brunette so the red looked really good. I took a picture of it and it's on my blog.

You are so cute that short or long you will look great!!

Well, as my girl says, you're not a woman unless you change your mind. so, cut it short! What's the worst that will happen? You'll grow it back out!

Good luck and can't wait to see the pics of what you decide!! :D

are we voting on the rafting trip? oh, the hair: I think you should try short. and I think you would look fabulous as a brunette. It would "pop" your pretty eyes. (That's the most stylish I get, when I use the word "pop" for eyes). But I also really like you blond, and I would go blond so quickly myself if I could ever pull it off.

Well, if you get it cut short, it will already be brown and you can save the coloring cost :)remember when you were little and you made me promise not to let you decide to cut your hair, you wanted to let it get really long....
Love you, Mom xoxo

Brooke,
I'd seen your blog several times through Kristi's. Congrats on your beautiful daughter! Your preemie was certainly smaller then my preemie. Hannah was in the NICU for four days. And two of those days were used to find parents for her!
Keep growing Ellis:)

i vote go for it! brown is down! right? is that cool to say? i don't know. so, i guess i'm not that hip (so take my advice with caution) but i do think you'd look fab with a rich brown color hair! and it's just hair and it'd be a fun change. how short we talking? i wouldn't go shorter than a bob style. everytime i do it i ALWAYS regret it. i've done it twice...learned my lesson and I will never do it again! :) it's a pain to grow out too! but hey, youre so tiny and cute that you could totally pull it off. i am only speaking out of PTSD from when I cut all mine off (boy short). good luck and do take pics! and do go to a diff stylist! ha! oh and i color my own hair. it's way cheaper (and i've had about every color under the sun!! except i never did lighter on my own...too risky!) but maybe the first time around you could go pro then do it yourself? i dunno. ok, way too long of a post, i apologize. i just get geeked about hair changes! maybe i should have been a stylist?
