Any natural(ish) blondes dyed their hair brown and it looked fab?

Don't know whats wrong with me as I have been blonde since the day my mummy pushed me into the world but I am fed up of it. My mother has said she will disown me if I dye my hair brown (well not quite but you get the picture) as she says I am blonde and that is that, I would look horrendous with brown hair but there is a little bit of me that would love to see how I felt as a brunette. My hair is more ashy/mousey with highlights now, nothing natural about it at all!

Anyone gone brown after being blonde forever and it suits you?

Oh my goodness

I think you should all come to me in Waterloo- we have a very trendy Torture Chamber, you know- it all happens after hours round these parts...

neenz · 06/11/2009 15:14

lucykate the haemorrhoids were still there until just a few weeks ago!

LadyOfTheFlowers · 06/11/2009 12:51

My hair is blondeish so I dye it to even it out.

I have died mine brown on 2 or 3 occaisions.

DH hates it as it tends to put 10 years on me, so I end up dying it back which totally wrecks my hair.

Wont ever do it again.

lucykate · 06/11/2009 12:48

my brother used to work in the grapes, many, many years ago. actually, so did my mum come to think of it! i always used to call that place 'the hemorrhoids' after they stuck that huge, metal bunch of grapes to the outside wall!

neenz · 06/11/2009 12:25

Ah the memories lucykate

Shorrocks has been shut for ages .

You cannot get a drink in Formby after 11pm now, I'm serious! (Not that I am often looking for a drink at that time )

Last time I was in the Grapes I met Glen Johnson , he was very nice

lucykate · 06/11/2009 12:13

me & dh 'copped off' in falcon's crest , it was 1987, and our sixth form christmas party

Lulumama · 06/11/2009 12:00

i grew up in manchester, so it's all still quite new to me !!

fannybanjo · 06/11/2009 10:54

OMG Falcon's Crest! I never went drinking in Formby or Southport, just to Liverpool. Those where the days...

lucykate · 06/11/2009 09:48

i'd forgotten that shorrocks had gone back to it's original name!, i remember it when it was 'falcon's crest'.

fannybanjo · 06/11/2009 08:52

How about meeting in Birkdale village or Southport?

Lulumama · 06/11/2009 07:15

this is great, hope we can actually do it!

BitOfFun · 05/11/2009 23:06

We could go onto Shorrocks Hill afterwards! Oh, except gangsters burnt it down...

bishboschone · 05/11/2009 22:18

I have blonde haor and had it dyed chocolate brown once. Everyone said I looked prettier blonde so I dyed it back

fannybanjo · 05/11/2009 22:18

Glad to see my hair thread has turned into a meet up!

OP posts:

fannybanjo · 05/11/2009 22:17

Oh dear, the Grapes, I am afraid I am far too cool for there! Might bump into a footballer... Neil Ruddock perhaps!

Facebook, wtf is that? I am soooo behind with the times. I am afraid I don't have enough friends for facebook.

Unless the people you went to school with are under 20 you are unlikely to see them in the Grapes

Obviously we will fit in fine

BitOfFun · 05/11/2009 21:31

The Grapes is good for me- if I can hide if I recognize anyone from school

Lulumama · 05/11/2009 21:24

great stuff !! perhaps we should start a thread.. yes, neenz you are! sometimes it takes me a while to remember who is who on FB & MN

neenz · 05/11/2009 20:53

Ooh er, I'd love to see fanny too .

The Grapes sounds perfect - 300 yrds from my house

Obviously happy to do Southport too - I am on your FB I think lulumama so you can always get in touch there.

fannybanjo · 05/11/2009 19:59

bonfire - of course it didn't come across as mumsy = all blondes!

Lulu - I will definitely attend a gathering of strangers!

i think we should have a meet around southport/formby, i am happy to have you all at lulu towers, although it is always messy and cold or we can go for dinner/drinks/ whatever ! i love meeting new people and would be lovely to see fanny again

bonfirewithaheartofgold · 05/11/2009 17:33

oh gawd i hope that didn't come across as blonde = mumsy just talking about on me. i was born wonky - suit most colours except my natural one.

fannybanjo · 05/11/2009 17:05

LOL at Sefton love in! We should definitely have a night out - although I live in Chester I can be the honorary member as I am originally from Maghull and have lived in Southport

bonfire - yes, you probably are one of those lucky people who get away with most colours, I'm jealous.

I think I am a blonde full stop, it may come and go in fashion but it is what suits me best. I don't think people would like me as a brunette.
