As you may have guessed I'm having another hair dilemma - well I have them all the time to be honest (my friends are laughing)! It's like I can sort of manage my skin (more or less) but my mop is a different and an 'oh so unpredictable' kettle of fish!
I tried to skip a cut (well I went about 12 weeks) but it simply does not work for my hair - as it's so fine it just thins out and splits on the bottom - so lesson no 1 learnt (you'd think I know this at my age) regular trims are a must have. Lesson no 2 is that longer hair is a thing of the past - although it grows quite quickly - again - splitting and thinning are an issue - so... I've recently been bobbed off again and I think this is the shape of things to come - had a few layers cut back in (after growing them all out) as I didn't want to look like a monk!
So - I'm booked in with Phil (hairdresser) to have a colour this week and herein lies the dilemma! Highlights or semi, highlights or semi...can't decide in the slightest. So I'm looking at hair colour here and trying to imagine it on a bobbed head!
Every weekend I see Claudia's hair on Strictly and lust after the richness and shine of a semi-permanent colour which will cover the greys (there aren't loads but they stick out like a sore thumb) and perk everything up a bit - shimmering and multi-tonal - that's what they say isn't it?
And of course Alexa's hair is always on my mind! So do we go for darker Alexa ....
or lighter Alexa ... in which case I'd need lots of fine highlights (instead of a semi) - which will also add texture and give the hair a thicker look?
...and then just to confuse matters I go and notice this gorgeous glossy colour and am now swaying back to dark again...?
or am I ...? I think I need some help! You think I'm mad don't you?
Which do you prefer - would you choose highlights over a semi? How often do you have your hair cut and what do you do with your hair colour in Autumn/Winter?
