I haven't coloured my hair since high school. For a number of reasons, perhaps the largest being (as we've established) I'm CHEAP. And anyone who keeps up with colouring their hair knows that it's not a cheap commitment. Another big reason is that I enjoy being au naturel - it's more and more of a rarity. Plus I don't have any grey yet, so I'm holding out... The other big reason is that my high school experience wasn't great. This pic is floating around Facebook as a reminder...
Oh, high school. It's not awful, I know. But not "me". My hair already has natural highlights, especially in the summer...
But the trend lately is appealing to me. I'm loving the way these highlights are done - subtle, not "streaks", and more ombre style. I'm seriously considering giving it a go. Because, really, these styles answer all of my above reasons (I think!). Low maintenance - I can let it grow out if I want and not have crazy roots to deal with/pay to keep covering up. Looks very subtle/natural. And not over bleached blonde streaks :) Who knows, I might just make the plunge...
