At the beginning of June, I decided it was time to chop my hair off and try a new look. I’ve been growing my hair and maintaining straight, long hair for years now and haven’t dyed it since college. I went for a shoulder length bob but by now, it has grown out a bit to more desirable length. I was pretty apprehensive about the color job, but I’m liking it more and more. The ombre look is subtle enough for a transformation and the blonde highlights are great for summer. Having blonde hair really makes me re-evaluate my outfits, for sure. My usual go-to outfits of bright hues and patterns tend to clash with the blonde, so I’ve been sticking with monotones and neutrals lately. I might be be adventurous again when fall comes and maybe dye it a darker chestnut or something.
