Shibley Smiles

A Little More Blonde

in Beauty & Fashion, Blog on

I posted these photos on my personal Facebook but thought I would share them here at Shibley Smiles as well. I’ve always colored my hair, but usually to cover the roots. So I’ve always had pretty dark hair. This summer I decided to get some highlights and each time I gradually went a little lighter.

This time we went a lot lighter and added some low lights to give it a “chunk” like look. I really love how it turned out.

For reference this is when I FIRST got highlights. I think I’ve come a long way LOL!

I think when I go back I will have her add a little more darker low lights and then come Oct/Nov I will probably go back to a caramel or darker color for the fall. I’m really enjoying the different shades!

      • I had never heard that about getting older but looking at both the photos I agree the blonde I look younger but some of it has to do with weight. The bottom photo I actually weigh less and you can see my laugh lines more. That is one side effect of losing weight that I hate. I actually feel like my face looks older.

    4. It’s really nice. And I agree with Sandy, you DO look younger with the lighter hair. It really suits you.

      • Thanks Tammy, I think I like the “chunky” the best even though it is harder to see here. My low lights became lighter and less definition, but I still really like it.

      • Marcie, I totally agree with you I usually like darker hair too. Funny when I moved to Michigan for a year my hair got so dark (from lack of sun) when I came back everyone asked if I had colored my hair.

    24. I have always thought you were pretty as a brunette but you also look nice as a blonde! You have such a pretty smile either way!

    26. It looks great! I just went back to my natural dark after being blonde for 10 years {didn’t want to get highlights every 2 months while pregnant} & I am already missing the light hair.

    30. Wow, that really brightened up your face. Looks very nice. I need to do that with my hair. Thanks for the idea, actually. I always have a hard time explaining how I want my hair to the stylist.

    39. I think it’s fun how you did a gradual change plus it makes your eyes stand out, along with your beautiful smile.. One time, I used a bleached blonde permanent haircolor and it came out very pale and made heads turn. My adult age kids didn’t like it, but I “rocked” the look. I told my kids that to have it changed back would break my hair, because that’s too many processes for hair to be healthy. I kept it up for 3 months, then gradually went to light brown and had the color get darker each month. Blonde hair takes more upkeep, I found that it required special shampoo and conditioners and was more drying overall.
