I did it!!!
 

I finally got the courage to dye my hair! I've been wanting a change so I decided to go for a darker brown than my natural color. The new color has a slight red tint in the light too. I'm really liking it so far.

Mom helped me dye it and Crystal (my 10 year old sister) took the photographs, both before and after.

What do you think? (My hair is really gross in the first pic because the instructions said not to wash your hair after 24 from when you're going to dye it.)

OHHHHHHHHh very rich and pretty color!
I think it looks GREAT!

It looks great, that color really suits you! It also brings out your eyes more. And I love your new avatar!

Angie that looks VERY nice! I agree with Lindsey, it brings out your eyes more.
You avatar look great!

Thanks guys! I was so excited that it turned out alright. I was really nervous about doing it, but now I'm glad I did. :)

It does look great.....I'm chicken when it comes to hair color. I'm 47 and have never dyed my hair. I've done some major hair styles but no color. But the gray is starting to come in pretty well now. I may have to rethink this.
Great look for you.

To be quite honest Angie...with these pictures...I can't tell a whole lot of difference exept in the after photo, it looks warmer..richer. I think you look great in both pictures and the avatar is a keeper! Ya can't go by me though....I get my eyes tested later this month...way too much time on the computer.

It isn't a whole lot different. Just a little darker and like you said warmer. I think that's what I like about it. It's close to my original color but more rich and vibrant. The red tint really comes out in the sunglight though! :D

I like it, very nice, nice warm shade
you just reminded me i have to color my gray hairs... :rolleyes:

You look beautiful!! Love it ! :thumbup:

I think that it looks great!! The color looks really nice on you and I think that it was a smart idea to go close to what color you already had. You're such a beautiful girl anyway, inside and out!!!

Thanks again everyone! You guys are always so encouraging. One of the many reasons I love this site!! :D

Diana, I was trying to enhance my natural color, feel different, but not go crazy with it. I think I found a color that really helped me do all that. I'm really thinking I might use this color again...

I think it's just enough of a change to bring some highlights to your eyes yet still looks natural

I LOVE it! I just showed it to Megan and she thinks it's cool!

ps she had a heart attack because she was in the kitchen and all she heard me yell was OMG Angie died! And she came running in....she was going to kill me

Oh no, poor Megan! It would be so awful to misunderstand something like that! I'm glad she liked it though.
