cha-cha-cha-changes

so i've made some amazing changes lately. more coming on that soon. :)

but i'm thinking a hair change is in the cards. and i'm wanting to go dark auburn. something like this:

or this:

think i could pull it off? i've never been one to agonize over cutting my hair or coloring it...it's just hair and it grows back.

think i'll be brave enough to go for it? i've always wanted to try red.

and doing it when j is gone will be perfect. because if i don't like it, who cares? no one to impress. HAHA!

have a beautiful day my sweet friends. and thank you SO SO much for all of the prayers,encouragement and love you guys have sent my way. it means the world to me. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I've never been one to worry about changing my hair either...I say go for it!
Can't wait to hear about your changes. Big changes are exciting!

[Michelle]

I am one that is not good about things to my hair. I don't like the drastic changes for me. I am pretty chicken when it comes to that sort of stuff. I know it is just hair and it will grow back, but still, I can't do it.. I need to! I need to hide the grays... more and more keep popping up.

I love the pics you found. Pretty colors. I can't wait to see what you decide to do. ;)

[jennifer Camplin]

big yes... go for it...

wink!!

[Miriam Prantner]

I've always said, the nice thing about hair is that it grows back.....

[Brenna]

Do it! I think you will look fabulous!

[Ellie Abney]

Do it! You'll look great! Sending my thoughts and prayers your way.

[Melissa]

Natural Instincts by Clairol makes a great temporary hair color (it washes out in so many washings...45?). I use a color that resembles dark auburn in my hair and love it (I think it's cinaberry). Fun to try and not permanent (so you don't have to worry about your roots coming in a different color than your hair).

[christina rayevich]

oo hot momma! red would look fabulous
xo

[Ki Kruk]

hair grows and colour fades (especially red, really quick) so GO FOR IT!!

[Robin]

I LOVE that color. I've done it with heavy highlights throughout my hair and loved it. I've never done an all over color though. The only thing for me was when I started spending time in the sun (and maybe the pool too) it turned brassy. But my hair has some random lighter highlights throughout so it has a tendency to go lighter in the summer anyway. Give it a try--you'll never know until you try! : )

[Kami Pfingsten]

Go for it!!! I am sure you would look fabulous!!!

[angela ezzell]

I say go for it. I think it will look great with your skin tone!

[Ann Lind]

Go for it there is nothing like a new hair style or color for a pick me up!!! My thoughts are with you as you go through another deployment. Hugs to you and your four beautiful chicks and prayers for a safe return for your soldier.

[Nancy L.]

love the idea of the color! praying for your family!

[ginny]

I think you'd look beautiful!

[Kimber-Leigh]

i think you can totally pull that color off. i think it'll be gorgeous. can't wait to see! i need to schedule a hair appt. too---one last visit before moving and having to find a new person i like. ;) churches and hairstylists...always take the longest to figure out in a move for me!

[Mary Jo]

You could so pull it off!
I did that color back in December and I still get compliments about it :)
I would go for it!

[Cathie]

go for it! it's fun. I love my hair red. I always say I'm dying it to match my personality! :)

good luck.

[Tara LeClaire]

DO IT! That color would look great on you!!

[Stacey]

I am never brave enough to try something different with my hair. And my husband rarely travels more than a couple days, and my hair doesn't grow that fast! It would be fun though to try and not have to worry about anyone not liking it. Of course oldest is 14 now and she would really laugh if it looked crazy. So I guess I will keep my boring, unstyled 80's hair! Have fun with your new hairstyle!

[Fia]

You would look absolutely fantastic! Go with the color in the first picture.

[Joanne]

DO IT!! You will loook fabulous!!

[Linda]

I vote to do it too! I think it will look lovely on you:)

[Jules Hollis]

I definitely think you can pull it off!! I am going super dark brown and getting bangs on the 24th. Excited and nervous. Hopefully you will tweet some post coloring pics....

[Shannon Shurtleff]

I think you would be hot business with this color/cut! You are beautiful anyways, so just go for it. The top one is about what mine is right now. :) ((HUGS))

[Naomi Rice]

I recently went for the dark-brown red look and i LOVE it!!
You will totally rock the look!! Post pics soon!

[Elizabeth]

Oooooooh, that color would look beautiful on you.....do it!

[Linda E]

I think you can pull off anything. Just be careful about choosing the right color. If your hair has reddish highlihts to begin with, it may come out redder than the box/sample. Cant wait to see it!

[Lauren Nguyen]

I think it would look great!! Go for it!
I've always liked a little touch of red!

[Jackie]

I totally think you should do it! I just cut six inches off my hair and i love it. Be sure you let us see the new you....i know you will look fabulous!

[Tracy]

I agree with your sentiment that it will just grow back should you not like it. However, being dark brown as you are now, I don't see how it could be bad. I think it's a good idea to go for it! Could be a great refreshing change!

[RobynS]

Let me hook you up with my friend Monica who owns B Street Salon on Broughton Street. She has started using Phyto and the color is amaZing. http://phyto-usa.com/ Email me.....

[Ally White]

That color would look fabulous on you! It's my natural haircolor and i must say that i do love it!!

[Anelsie Ramos]

Go for it, girl!!! You'll look gorgeous in any color!
Best of luck and have fun in the process!!! ;-)

[Karen]

Go for it! I have the same hair philosophy. I love Julia Roberts' color! It would look great on you! Xoxo

[maria]

Go for it my dear :) that is an awesome color and would look SO good on you. Post a pic so we can see how fab you look! Love ya!

[staceymichu]

Being a redhead...I say go for it! It is only hair and you should make a statement with it! I think you woulg wear it beautifully! Just go to a good hair colorist who will pick the right shade for you! Then, leap! It is liberating!

[Kristina]

Hi Stephanie,
I love the font you use on your blog banner! Could you tell me what it's called? I would love to buy it!

Thank you!!!

[Marian]

Do it! I bet it will look fabulous, such a pretty color.

[Debbie P]

I think that would be a perfect color for you! Can't wait to see it if you do!

[Kim S.]

do the temporary color first just to see if you like it! I think it'll look great.

[Christina A.]

Do it!! You will look great!!

[Christa Paustenbaugh]

Definitely go for it! I have the same motto-it's just hair and it can always be changed back if you decide you hate it.

[KerrieLou]

With your beautiful skin tone you could definitely pull it off. As an unnatural auburn-head myself, I use either a 4R or a 4M color. Being this is the first time, you might want to go with the 4R...it's a little lighter. The 4M is pretty dark. Either way it will be beautiful. And J would definitely love it ;)
Can't wait to see the results.

I'm always TERRIFIED to make any changes to my hair, ha! But I just made a big change and while it's taking a little while to get used to, I think I love it:) I say try it!

[AmySorensen]

I think that color would look gorgeous on you! Plus, there's this about red hair color: it's the least fadeproof. So even if you HATE it, it'll be faded in 6 weeks or so anyway! :)

[Laurie LARiviere]

go for it, with your pretty face, your hair could be any color and you'd still look good :)

[Stephanie Howell]

[Bessie Segal]

Yes, yes, dark auburn is my fave too, so rich & luscious.
If you are going to do it yourself, L'orielle Castings is very good, semi-permanent, deep shine with many shades.
Just do it!!

[Kristen Cox]

i just cut mine off. go for it!!

[Leslie]

You could rock either colour! I say "go for it"....can't wait to see your new hair and the other changes you've made!

[Jessica]

You should definitely try it, at least once! I went red last year - got lots of looks and compliments, but I didn't care for it as much and went back to brunette. Maybe I'll try again some day!

[Lisa Geremia]

you'd look really hot with red. DO IT!
