Hairdresser has offered to tone it down the darker highlights are from a few years ago the lighter is how I had it done yesterday- I asked for it to look like the older picture.
I called up today and asked for them to do it again...

I like the lighter much more, personally.

PinkCookie11 · 16/04/2021 15:46

If their willing to do it again then that’s good!
But I like it lighter!!

KoalaOok · 16/04/2021 15:46

I prefer the lighter one tbh

cameocat · 16/04/2021 15:47

Is yesterday's the one on with you in the green jacket? If so, I prefer that one.

PurpleDaisies · 16/04/2021 15:48

It’s lovely lighter!
I’m not sure eat you’re asking. They’ve told you they’ll fix it.

MeanMrMustardSeed · 16/04/2021 15:48

I prefer the one on the train

ILoveMyMonkey · 16/04/2021 15:49

I like the lighter one too

BaaHumbugg · 16/04/2021 15:49

Yes it looks fine in both!

Aquamarine1029 · 16/04/2021 15:49

I think the darker hair washes you out.

Oblomov21 · 16/04/2021 15:50

Lighter is much better. But if you want it toned down fine, she's says she will.

Bagelsandbrie · 16/04/2021 15:50

Lighter one is much nicer!

DIshedUp · 16/04/2021 15:50

Whats the picture you asked them to do? It looks like a school picture? Or a picture of a child?

Your hair on the train looks much nicer. But they are willing to sort it so I don't see the issue

HousewifeNumber10 · 16/04/2021 15:51

Thanks guys - it will look better when my roots are darker... not inches of roots just a bit of root.
Also it's gone dry (I've done a home spin class) this is it now.

I like it

picklemewalnuts · 16/04/2021 15:52

It's cool, and you wanted warm?

KoalaOok · 16/04/2021 15:52

Ooh see i still think that's lovely

Aquamarine1029 · 16/04/2021 15:53

I really think it looks beautiful, op. The lighter tones are so much prettier than how it used to be.

HousewifeNumber10 · 16/04/2021 15:53

Okay now people are saying it's okay I feel a bit better.
Maybe I'm in shock after having 5 inches of mousy roots!

Colour is good, much better lighter. Invest in some olaplex and deep conditioning treatments

dementedpixie · 16/04/2021 15:55

Looks fine to me

HousewifeNumber10 · 16/04/2021 15:55

dance friend's cousin gave me some olaplex 1 - it doesn't look dry it feels dry.
I'm being really fussy aren't I!!!!!!?

The lighter hair looks much better!

Spied · 16/04/2021 16:00

Your new hair colour is exactly how I want mineEnvy

Mintlegs · 16/04/2021 16:01

I like the lighter also, I would wait a few days before deciding.

KindChick · 16/04/2021 16:02

It looks absolutely lovely.
I had my hair lightened on Tuesday, I just can’t get used to it so I’m still putting it back in a pony tail! I think it looks much lighter but like you I think I had got so used to my dark roots being so prominent!
