Thanks for the input, all.

Joan - Yeah, I do have some natural blonde in my hair. But that's only there for the summer, so I want to get it highlighted so that it looks that color all year round.

Ooohhh pretty hair!! What I'd do is get blonde and caramel highlights. It would look so nice with your natural hair color!! I love doing 2 colors rather than 1 color, it makes it looks less harsh/drastic.

I agree that would be beautiful.

Poor Megan, now she has something else to decide on lol

I'm with Mike on this one! Megan you don't need highlights.
Your hair is perfect right now. I'd wait and really think about it,
because once you start, you have to keep going.
You are so young and pretty, this is something you really don't
need to do. You're mom showed us a picture, Megan you have great hair.
Please think about this first.


Why are all the kids growing up so fast???

You have pretty hair that has a touch of blonde to it already. If it is done right I think it would look great. Good luck!

[MeganS]

Thanks.

I asked how much it would cost and they said $75...which is a lot. I think I'm going to wait until I need it.

But I still got my hair cut. I think it looks good. It's got long layers and side bangs.

ive done it many times. i love them. i had blond highlights. just make SURE that whoever does them knows what they are doing. i had one lady one time that everyone said was great...well...she must have been having a BAD day. I asked for a few highlights, i wound up looking like i had blond hair and got a few brown highlights!!! I went straight home a colored it back brown, which is really a big no no.
You can also play around and get some blond and some auburn colored depending on your skin type. ive seen those before and i plan on getting some later on.

[doglover007]

just don't do those HUGE thick highlights like a lot of people do because that looks HORRIBLE.i'll be honest...i wouldnt do blonde highlights in brown hair but if you want to id just go pretty small.

[MissPinkBarbie]

You have a good base color which blonde highlights would only "brighten" your look.

I'd say go for it! Keep us posted if you do it!

PS: Blondes do have more fun!

I think you made a wise decision and that type of haircut is just what I thought would look good on you.

$75 is alot of money and think of what a high school student could do with that.

Would you honor us with a picture.....pls.

Good for you!!!!! See you will start High School with a new look after all.
I saw your pictures Megan, if I thought you needed to have the lights I would have said so. But you're hair is so super pretty now, I wouldn't change it.
Let's wait and see how it changes before making any changes.

Heck, if you really want Highlights all year round, all you really have to do is tell your Mom you want to move out here!!! That will work, so get talking!!!!



PS. Picture Please!!!!

I say go for it, but be SO CAREFUL with going blonde!

I struggled through 3 years of streaks, orangey brassy color and just total unhappiness and corrective color because of hair stylists that stunk .

When I moved from my small town to Boston I found an amazing stylist that made me look like I was naturally blonde. It was awesome! I kept it up for 2 years until I moved back to NY (because I dont trust anyone here, lol).

It was very expensive for me though. It cost me 300 for the higlights every 2.5-3 months not including hair cuts, or the special products you need to buy for color treated hair.

So, I'd definitely look at other people who have highlights, ask who did theirs.. find the BEST person to do it for you. Then make sure you get special shampoos/conditioners that won't strip the color or turn you brassy .

Highlights are fun fun FUN. But, your hair will never be the same once you color it IMO. I started at 15 and haven't seen my "true" haircolor since .

love the new haircut i need one so bad but im so chicken !! lol
