I am going for a haircut later today. I am in the market for a drastic change. Currently, my hair is very long, a medium brown color. I have had layers in the past. Today I am going for a long layer cut, with lengthy side swept bangs, and am debating over whether or not to color my hair. I am thinking of a dark, espresso brown. I love love love dark hair, and think it will look really great. I only have a few reservations about coloring, mostly the upkeep. I have dyed my hair in the past, but haven't done so in about 8 years. I worry that when Im over it, because my hair is so long, it will take forever to grow out, but I almost feel like it'll be worth it if I keep up with it for a while.... Suggestions??
I will add some photos for reference...: Here you can see that espresso brown isn't that far off from my natural color.... You can also see that I *never* wear my hair down, and I'd like to start doing so. I am hoping that a new cut helps to push me in that direction.
Here you can see that the color is, indeed, not as dark as "espresso".
In this photo you can see the length of my hair now (and the need for a trim and a new 'do!).
I love the wavy layered look of Jennifer Aniston's hair. Also seen here and straighter here
.
I also really love Jessica Simpson's hair here but I know that mine could never look that full and wavy even on my best day.
This is a bit more realistic.
And the color and cut that I envy the most are of Rachel Bilson. And excuse the racy shot, but this is the color I'm going for.
