I dyed my hair. I have been thinking for a while of changing my hair into a way lighter color, but was too chicken to do it before. It did turn out differently from what I expected, but after my initial reaction of horror I am now used to it and love it.
So here is a little confession from me to you: I actually already have had my hair like this for two weeks now. One of the reasons for only showing these pictures now might have had something to do with the fact that I was going to visit my little sister last weekend and she didn’t know about my recent hair adventures yet. As she might read my blog it just seemed more fun to show her in person and see her reaction. Waiting two weeks for stepping quasi nonchalant out of the bus and experience a few seconds of total shock and surprise: worth it. Haha.
Also, every big makeover needs a ‘before’ picture. So here is mine. I can say in all honesty that this is what I typically look like, well, apart from the hair-dye-outfit. And the bath tub.

Well.. it really was more as a joke almost than as a kind act. I thought it was funny to act as if nothing was going on for most impact

I usually think dyed hair looks awful, but you have totally exploded that opinion. Yours looks wonderful!! It suits you so much better than your “before” colour!!

It’s such a pretty color, I love it! I’ve been tempted to go a shade of red- on the lighter side like this. That’s something I’ve never done before. Looks great!
