Anyone else fighting the urge to dye your hair?

emjo, on December 13, 2018 at 7:56 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 10

I've fallen into the pattern every couple of years I have dyed my entire head a different color of red and then let it fade/ redye it back to my natural brunette. Now if I wasn't getting married in October I would already be at the salon dying my hair my favorite shade of Auburn. I want to look natural for my wedding and I do not want to worry about the obnoxious cost of dying my hair. (I have a lot of hair and last year when I got balayage highlights it cost me 150 I'm afraid what a full head would cost.) But I can't get rid of the color itch! Anyone else fighting with themselves about hair color for the big day?

    I was for the entire time of waiting! I was letting my natural hair grow out so it would be easier to bleach and color a rose gold with purple accents. I ended up realizing how much I like my natural red and just got highlights a couple months before the wedding to blend in the ends that were still bleached from being blue last year. This is the longest I've gone without having crazy colored hair.

    This was in February

    I'm always fighting the urge to dye my hair lol. Could you get some red highlights and see if that calms down the feeling a little bit?

    Yes! FH has been wanting me to dye my hair for months but with our wedding in 5 months it will still be light and i think difficult to match extensions without costing too much so I'm trying to hold off but its soooo hard! I even had an appointment to dye it back in October but my stylist cancelled so i took that as a sign lol

    I've bleached my hair since I was 15 (I'm 24 now). My fiance proposed almost a year ago and I've stopped since then because I want to get married with as much of my natural color coming through as possible. It's been hard! It's been weird just caring for my hair's health & doing trims rather than fun haircuts & colors.

    I'm a natural blonde and I've always dyed my hair darker or crazy colors. I'm trying to let my natural color come out some while I'm growing it out. I've been absolutely dying to dye it another color though.

    I guess it's a little different for me because I HAVE to dye my hair to cover my grays (started graying in my early 20s), but I do it myself. My grandmother was a hair dresser so she taught me, I buy the professional products she used to use at her salon, not boxed dye from a grocery or drug store. I chose the color that looks best on me for my wedding instead of my natural color. A lot of guests that hadn't seen me in a long time LOVED the color I had for the wedding, and encouraged me to keep it. So I'm happy with my decision.

    Oh my gosh!! I was actually just talking to a coworker about this!!! LOL

    I have never dyed my hair before, and have never had the urge to... until now, 8 days before the wedding!! LOL

    Needless to say, I'm fighting that urge... but afterwards I may just buy one of those shampoos that color your hair and it comes out after a week or 2 of showering... Smiley smile

    Ugh yessssssss!
    I told myself that I’m not allowed to dye it again before the wedding and I hate myself 😂
    My hair is naturally brown but I want to go back to pink!

    I've thought about it but I did that last year and it wasn't a bold enough change to satisfy my urge. Lol.

    I love fun colored hair but I've never been bold enough to do more than purple highlights!
