Ombre Hair

I mentioned here that I wanted to change up my long brown locks a little and after all your wonderful feedback decided to go with an ombre look. So I called up Brittany {my long time friend and stylist} and scheduled an appointment.

Brittany has been my stylist since we got out of high school and I trust her professional opinion 100% {and her honest opinion because she’ll give you that, too}.  This was her first attempt at an ombre style and it was at this point that I think we both started to wonder if it was right. Don’t worry, it was. Brittany is the bomb.

The lighting in the bathroom makes it appear more red than it really is but it was dark and I wanted to get a picture to send to Cory.

Since this was the first color I’ve had on my hair in years, we didn’t go as extreme as I first thought I would. Instead we used two different colors and really went for a natural look and Brittany did an awesome job blending the two. Next time {since it will most likely be summer} I will probably go for more blonde but I’m loving the change!

Also, a few things I learned after looking at these pictures:

  1.  I’m definitely not a model and felt extremely awkward posing for my photographer husband.
  2.  My husband is not any better than me at taking pictures. Sorry they’re blurry.
  3.  I squint 100% of the time if I’m outside during the day. I have small eyes but I promise they aren’t that small.
