Style Files: Bold Colors Continued

September 9, 2011

style files

Posted 09/12

I’m still crushing on bold colors for Fall!
Okay so true fact: I have never dyed or highlighted my hair. I just never felt the need to…..until I saw ombre highlights. I was sold. Well, guess what? Tomorrow my hair will undergo some minor doctoring.
Maybe I can hope it will turn out something like this??….
Is that too much to hope for?? I am just so low maintenance when it comes to my hair, and this seemed like a great solution.Wish me luck! Happy September weekend friends!
P.S. Still need your vote here! Thanks to you I am holding on to the top 20! Thank you so much for your support!

  1. How fun! I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

  2. Love that shot of flats! Same here Anna! I have never dyed my hair, but with pregnancy it turned very dark and I hate it! So I’ve been considering exactly the same, ombre!!!! I’m just so clueless about dying your hair and highlights, and maintenance! I’m still not sure but I definitely have to do something about it 😉

  10. Ashley says:

    How fun! Can’t wait to see your after pics!
    I have only colored my hair once, but what a disaster. Imagine two poor college students with a box of color from the grocery store. I was supposed to be getting blonde highlights, but knew something went wrong when I heard my friend go, “Ohhhh no.” The coloring had turned red! haha It’s a good story now, but I haven’t had the guts to do it again since. Maybe I should leave it to the professionals!

  11. Love all the flats!! I’ll take one of each 🙂

    Ombre highlights=YES!!

  12. Nicole says:

    Can’t wait to see your ‘new’ hair! So fun! I’ve been tempted to dye mine a new color, but it is a pain to deal with dyed short hair sometimes. Maybe someday…

  13. i am always obsessed with bright colors – and they are coming with me thru fall! also can’t wait to see the new ‘do’ – love ombre!

  18. the colors! the shoes! jessica biel’s hair!

  19. MrJeffery says:

    cute pics! love the shoes!

  20. Yay for bold colours! I think I’m going to transition to jewel colours from the bright blues, pinks etc I wore over the summer. Happy Weekend to you 🙂

  21. Allegra says:

    thanks for your super cute comment!

    well, I went to the hair dresser as well and wanted that effect… turns out that the ombre style (which those celebs have and I wanted so badly) are balayage highlights (technique: no foils, but freehand with a brush) but they have to grow out for a year or I dunno… maybe your hair dresses is okay with dyeing only the ends, but mine wasn’t so I gotta wait *boohoo* well, balayage highlights are cool too.. it looks very naturally sun kissed 🙂

  22. Amanda says:

    Anna! I just love these bold colors! Super fun for fall!
    And my hair color changes with the season so I’m all for trying new things!
    Good luck and can’t wait to see the finished product!
    Happy Weekend!

  23. Brooke says:

    Oh you’re gonna love Ombre! you’ll wonder why you waited so long to “doctor” your hair lol
    enjoy!

  24. Pattie says:

    I hope that your hair comes out good!!

    Sometimes I wonder what my hair would look dyed, though since I rarely ever straighten it I doubt that will happen…ever lol
