Hair update

[sam_tom_sam]

As I mentioned earlier, my hair has changed quite dramatically now, through no fault of my own. Here are some pictures.



Salon surprise


Fringe close-up


Initial ambivalence


Side view

When I first saw the olive brown that had replaced the usual platinum blonde, I was quite shocked and dismayed. The stylist said that he couldn't bleach over those bits again for a couple of days, but that he would do it if I came back a few days later.

He also said, however, that he thought the new colour was cool and that he had been trying to create it for ages. How ironic that he should finally succeed by accident! Other people have generally had quite favourable views, spam_robot77 even said it made me look more androgynous. Which was nice.

The only negative reaction came from Guy, who, in his usual understated fashion, squealed "You're not blonde anymore!" several times. But he was a bit tipsy. I replied that inside, I am very much blond(e), easily as blond(e) as him, oh yes.

I think I will probably keep the colour for the time being, as I have got to quite like having different colour for a change. Also, the way the light brown overlaps the black reminds me of a dark chocolate caramel cup.

Thank you, you're very kind. I'm getting used to it now after the initial shock.

That second picture up there is particularly Nick, in fact. :)

Ooh! Flattery indeed! How can I win his shoes, then? ;)

It's an old Smash Hits competition, but since I don't have the magazine itself, I can't, alas, remember the details.
These days, I suppose, you could mostly just go up and ask for his shoes. He probably wouldn't mind, and they're better shoes now than they were in 1983...

I think it makes you look more androgynous as well - I love it, the pics don't do it justice!

ps - you coming to The Modern tomorrrow @ The Turtle?

I'm afraid I can't come to The Modern tomorrow as I have a late shift. Have a nice time though.

Dear, You can so some wonderful things with this do-and colour. I had a similar hairstyle in high school, and would part it and slick it back.
So, as you style it differently, do post those photos!
And blond or dark, you are still our beloved Lyle. :)
