time for a change

for those of you who know me personally, you know that i have always had blonde hair.  straight, long, blonde hair.  i never change it.  i am too chicken to cut it, dye it, try something new (with the exception of dying it dark brown ONE TIME.  ONCE.  in my life)  also, im waaaayy to lazy to do anything fun to it.  and now that im a mom, ive given up the hair straightener and most mornings forgo the blow dryer.  its not that i dont care or dont have time, i think its because im bored.  over it.  i need to shake things up!  im thinking...

yep, red.  now, more than likely my hairstylist will roll her eyes, laugh at me and then just shake her head.  because, you see, i have threatened to change my hair COUNTLESS times in the past and always end up leaving the salon with blonde hair and a trim.  thats it.  i chicken out.  why?  its just hair!!  i can always change it again if i hate it.  its not like im chopping it all off, and even if i did, it will grow back.  so why the hesitancy?  thats my problem.  i dont know.  maybe its because blonde is all i have ever known.  i like blonde.  i look good blonde.  its my identity for pete's sake! 

so here is what im thinking, colorwise....

ooohh lindsay.  you are so silly.  disregard how trashy she looks and how obviously fake her extensions are.  focus on the color.  its ALMOST blonde.  this red is so do-able.  it wouldnt be that different from my hair now, but still a change.  which is monumental in itself.

 

sienna.  this looks a bit more red to me, but still not full-blown "red-head."  i can see myself doing this also, but maybe not this go around.  it is definitely more red than lindsay's hair, but a bit "witchy" looking.  but i do like the color on sienna. it looks great with her skin tone and eye color.  

ashlee.  this might be a bit much for me.  a little darker than i was thinking, but still a beautiful color.  brown tones, but the red still shines through.  i am not thinking this will be MY red, but a great color nonetheless.

kirsten.  now this is RED.  i have been told that i look like kirsten.  ughhh, i guess i kind of do, but i just dont think shes that cute.  and most of the times i see her in magazines, she looks dirty and greasy, like she needs a shower.  shes too skinny for my taste, no boobs (not that that matters).  kind of boyish in a way.  but anyhow, thats not what i am here to discuss.  i believe this color was for the spiderman movies and it doesnt look that bad on her, really.  she definitely dyed the eyebrows to match, and her lip color is a perfect marriage.  but, again, maybe not for me.

christina.  fail.  this is just trashy.  maybe its the sparkly bandeau top, or the bicep jewelry.  im not sure.  but the hair isnt working either.  blonde, red, black.  no, no, no.  but a hairstyle like this on a music artist with hit songs titled "dirrty" "stripped" and "sex for breakfast" is not surprising.  

anyhow.  my hair appointment is TODAY.  can i make the change?
