blonde bummer...

[miss Charlie Pearl]

I recently received a few comments complimenting my photos where I have blonde hair, which I greatly appreciate. But then it got me thinking... Should I go back to blonde? And then a sad realization set in. If I ever intend to have a healthy hair on my head I can never truely be the blonde bombshell I wish I could be. I've always wanted that barbie blonde-big haired-just finished being sexy in bed look (I know its a weird fantasy) but it will never be. Now I agree that there are ways you can bleach without completely destroying the hair, but I'm stuck in a catch 22... I've got curly hair and between heated styling tools and the necessary bleaching to keep from looking like Shakira (bless her heart, she loves the look of roots) its nearly impossible to maintain any sort of platinum blonde look. (Damn you pam an, gwen and christina) *tear* I learned the hard way when I was younger, with my favortie look; a mix of black and platinum blonde. My hair ended up in terrible condition and I had to keep cutting off the damged hair. I ended up with an overly layered bob that resembled a baby style fro when it was in its natural curly state. And I don't think I need to mention that afro was not the look I was going for. Thank goodness for me I have a good friend who is a stylist so she would always come over and hook me up with a finger wave and curls for a special occassion, but having your own personal hair dresser won't last long if you don't have the money for it. So I've come to the conclusion that unless I become a super star some time soon I should abandon the blonde idea... Which bums me out but I love the long hair styles too much to risk my healthy hair. The next huge question I have to answer is to bang or not to bang?!? Til next time...

I completely understand you...I'm unhappily brunette. When people tell me I should just keep it dark brown I just wanna scream "NOOOOO!!!!!" I don't know why but I've had this obession with looking like Monroe/Mansfield/Gwen for a very long time. I've really damaged my hair so I have NO idea what I'm gonna next. Please see the discussion I started in the "Powder Room"...any advice?

Miss Charlie, I think your natural color is quite becoming on you. I agree with Poppy, and second Kitty's suggestion of wigs! Go from blonde to pink to redhead in one day, and with no damage! :D

Well my darling... let me tell you: blonde is way overrated. I think your the colour you have now really best suites you. But if you really wanted, we could just trade hair since I'd kill for yours, and you'd be blonde! Win-win situation! What does Kyle think of you with blonde hair anyway?

There are always wigs. Thats what I have to do when I want to be a red head.

Personally, I think you look much better with your natural hair colour! My vote is "No to Blonde" :)
