WW: Color Me Red

I have a hair appointment today.

I want to walk out of the salon with a head of gorgeous auburn hair.



I want to be look like a WHOLE NEW WOMAN.

A sexy, vibrant, BOLD new woman!

A woman who is not afraid to embrace her inner Lucille Ball!
(Actually, I already do that...)

But, I will probably walk out of the salon with my same old boring blonde highlights.

Because as I found out a few years ago...

Red hair maintenance is NOT EASY, and also VERY EXPENSIVE!


But, I sure did love it...


My awesome hair in 2005.


Angie and I could be twinsies if I went RED!

Oh you look cute with red! Hmm yes anything far from your natural color is hard to maintain. And 'spensive.

Love the red hair! You looked fabulous girl.

I don't even have to go to the hairdresser for that.

I'm always looking for ways to tone it down.

Sometimes you get tired of feeling like a beacon.

Very pretty! A whole new look! Yes, it's hard going red simply because the color is so tricky! I did it once and loved it. But, back to blonde.

Wow, you look awesome with red hair!! I've always wanted to do something that bold but never have. Not because I'm afraid of how it will look but because I'm far too cheap and lazy to keep it up.

I love red hair, but you are so right about the maintenance and expense - one reason I am not a redhead.

Mighty M said...

I had red hair for a while too - and you are correct it is a lot of work! But it looked gorgeous on you!

Soxy Deb said...

Oh Jenni! I love that hair!
DO IT! DO IT!

I was thinking of getting my copper highlights again. I love red hair on you! So pretty.
My hair is strawberry blond so it's not too much maintenance for me. I could imagine it being difficult otherwise, though.

Amy said...

I like it! You should do it.

I spent most of high school and college searching for the perfect red hair, I looooove red hair but then around the time I graduated I was dating someone who was all, "Man I love red heads," and I nearly sucker punched him... because I'm not a red head. even if my hair was red at the time. lol. I dyed it back to brown, dumped him and never looked back. :OP

Ali said...

Wow, you look terrific in red!

steenky bee said...

Ah!!!! I love the red!!! So striking! Post pics of whatever you decide...red or blonde.

Cassie said...

You do look great with red hair! I can't wait to see how it comes out.

Jen said...

LOVE it! :)

Brenda said...

I love red hair! It looks really good on you, worth every penny.

beth said...

I want length, which is a little harder to get than going back to that beautiful red hair you once sported!

Bonnie said...

I get bored with my blond highlights too. How did it feel to be a red head? Do people treat you different?

Pamela M. Kramer said...

WOW! I wish I could pull that off.

angie said...

We could DO be twins. My hair is lighter now that I'm in the sun more, but when I was living in MA my hair was like that color because, well, I was never in the sun. :)

I have the red hair but need the highlights to cover the gray! lol

thesurpriselily said...

I want to go red, but since I only get off the ranch about once every six months for a haircut, I'm guessing it wouldn't be a great idea!!! I hope all goes well!!

Kristen Andrews said...

I like you as a red head!

Evolving Mommy Catherine said...

Holy smokes I didn't even recognize you, even though you said it was you! Wow, I like it, I say go for it.

Jenners said...

Here everyone tries to be blonde and you're going for red ... but it looks great.

Hope your cough is gone soon. Chocolate is best I hear.

You know, I went red last time (for the hubs who LOVES red hair). It was nice while it lasted (all of 4 wks.) and now I'm going back to blond this week!!

You look good with red!
