I saw that 'star put pink streaks in her hair... and wonder if I should do the same. I'm tired of my hair, but I haven't figured out how to do anything different with it. I need a change that is very low-maintenance, and streaking it sounds like the thing to do. But then I wonder what all of Tomek's family in Poland will think... after all, I'm a mom now. Gah. Why the hell do I CARE so much about what other people think. Always wondering what this or that person is thinking when they see me.
Thoughts on this trivial issue?

what 'do is me

if you do it, I'll do it!
Why not try a maroon or dark red highlights? something that would look natural and still sexy. I pulled it off pretty well with my dark brown hair a few years ago, and it looks pretty natural when it grows out (so you wouldn't HAVE to get it redone)
You could also get something layer-y with sweeping bangs that would look nice for summer.
I understand the "what if" kind of concerns. But some lovely lady that I know has been telling me that it doesn't really matter that much what your husband's family thinks (about something big or small). . . because you've already got the most important relationship.
BESIDES, Tom's face is pierced! Some pink highlights aren't going to scare them away! :)
oh my god, kat. your last point made me laugh out loud--so true! i hadn't even thought of that. or in that wording... "his face is pierced". Lol. :)
it's a deal! dark red or maroon sounds lovely. so when you did it those few years ago, did you do it yourself or go somewhere? shall we set a date? :)
i think this caring what other people think must be a woman thing. amy does thissometimes too, and she hates it. me? i think i've made it abundantly clear over the years as to what i think about what people think about me.
I can relate to what ghost has said - my wife cares immensely as to what other people think of her, and by extension, what other people think of me. I, on the other hand, could not care an iota.
phx, do you ever care about how other people think of you?
I did it myself, and I'll e-mail you the pictures of the BRIGHT red streaks so you can see those. (I don't know that I have pictures of the maroon or darkish ones).
You can buy highlight packs at any drugstore, OR if you can find beauty schools in the area, it can be semi-professionally done for VERY cheap (usually at least half the price of a normal salon).
I'm ready when you're ready. :) Say the word.
And for Ghost and Phil?
It doesn't really what *people* think about me. What's important is the impression that people who can potentially negatively affect my life get. In general, I don't really care if people like my personality or hate it, but it DOES make things easier if Jesse's parents don't know that I'm a bi-sexual agnostic, and maybe a law firm interview won't go so well if my hair is neon pink.
For me, it is much less personal insecurity, and much more trying to have all my bases covered in the real world.
Kat: monday evening is it. :) I bought some temporary stuff to try first, then if i like the colour, i'll go permanent. :D
ghost and phil: i'm too tired to think about it anymore... g'night.
PICTURES please. :)
doo itttt... :D
I'm thinking of a change too lately. Do a semi-permanent, if anything. Just 'cos you're a mom doesn't mean you can't be you!
ghost/phil... you gotta realize, women care 'cos we usually get judged by other women more so than anything else. Women are evil that way. Personally, I don't care what anyone thinks about me, as long as I know I'm being real and as much myself as possible. But I can't go off getting green highlights either 'cos of the line of work I plan to get into; it would limit my options at this point to be myself totally.
In fact, I applied to a job at an airport as a check-in person earlier this year, and the (female) interviewer asked me bluntly if I'd have a problem removing the small, silver hoop earing on my top left ear (which is normally hidden by my hair, anyway). It's crazy; such a trivial thing, they think, tarnishes their "image." Imagine if I had several visible piercings. My God, the travesty! *rolling eyes*
Anyway, that is all.. I say go for it.. do what you gotta do to feel alive and phx-like. :)
