Love your haircut and your specs are perfect. You look so fresh.<br /> You can definitely get through 3 more days. We're cheering for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-and-hair-and-hair-colour-help-please#post-262272 Tue, 07 Dec 2010 10:39:20 +0000 Theresa 262272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ladies I just want to say a huge thank you! You are all too kind and I'm glad you didn't say - my gosh you need a total makeover LOL</p> <p>I realised today that yes, my hair is fading and I will get it redone in Jan (hasn't been done in 5 mths), but I think its seeing the grey's increasing every day that is really affecting its colour the most!</p> <p>Also, I've stocked up on basics pretty much this whole year, so have lots of black, white &amp; grey clothing, but very little when it comes to great colourful pieces - and really, my red beads are my only colourful jewellery, and I'm rather bored with them.</p> <p>So I think on top of just feeling plain worn out (I swear, I had no idea how busy the last week of school could be - I can barely lift my arms or walk tonight I'm so tired!), I'm resigned to wearing plain colours without much colour and its just all culminating in me feeling drab at the moment.</p> <p>But, only 3 days left til school is finished, and then I will try and get a chance to make some new tops/dresses with some colour in them.</p> <p>Surely I can get through 3 more days?!?! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-and-hair-and-hair-colour-help-please#post-261987 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 22:04:20 +0000 Anonymous 261987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No need to mess with perfection.

Maybe it is just hard to get used to the super short hair? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-and-hair-and-hair-colour-help-please#post-261832 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 16:54:44 +0000 Angie 261832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Maya said.</p> <p>KILLER pic of you and your cherub, T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-and-hair-and-hair-colour-help-please#post-261830 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 16:52:34 +0000 Lynne 261830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theresa, IMO, your spex are fab. Next time you update, I'd love to hear how you look in cats-eyes. For now, leave your lovely hair and spex alone, and treat yourself to a massage/mani/pedi/some other luxury......sorry to hear you're feeling blah and hope it passes soon! Best, Lxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-and-hair-and-hair-colour-help-please#post-261819 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 16:33:48 +0000 Kate 261819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for team you look fab as is and don't need to change anything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-and-hair-and-hair-colour-help-please#post-261756 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 14:46:15 +0000 celia 261756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand the need for change, I just don't think you need it.<br /> Your haircut, hair color and glasses seem perfect to me.<br /> In regard to hair colors maybe your hair is like mine, whenever I try to dye it dark blond it turns out slightly red.<br /> Personally I wouldnt color it again so soon.<br /> Your daughter is so lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-and-hair-and-hair-colour-help-please#post-261749 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 14:23:09 +0000 Misia 261749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Louise said, maybe few highlights. Love your haircut now!<br /> Maybe try to style it little different, add paste to your palms and rub your hands together, yousing your fingers pick out strands here and there for more funky, messy look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-and-hair-and-hair-colour-help-please#post-261702 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 09:18:27 +0000 Louise 261702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous no need for a change. If you fancy a bit of hair colour but don't want an all over change how about a few high or low lights? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-and-hair-and-hair-colour-help-please#post-261700 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 09:13:13 +0000 Katiepea 261700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummmmmmm. Can I be delicately honest here and say that I think you are being WAY too hard on yourself. &lt;slap on the hand!&gt; (Ooops. OK, that wasn't so delicate, but you get the message.)</p> <p>Ms T, I can understand feeling a bit "blah" and the need for a fresh change, but really, there is nothing that needs to officially be "done" in my book. Your glasses look fab with your hair, your hair doesn't look orange to me (you only need to see mine for that reality check!), and I think that the outfits you post look great with your new look.</p> <p>As for the colour idea, I would say similar advice to you that was given for your daughter - I'd say definately consider trying it and if you like it, you keep it, if you hate it, you can always change it! </p> <p>I guess the only thing I would say about your hair colour is that the darker toning does really suit you, the only thing that I would worry about on you is a real golden blonde. That would concern me slightly. I have no idea why.... it just would! Maybe because I've seen you in person with dark hair and love the way it sets off your pretty eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-and-hair-and-hair-colour-help-please#post-261684 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 07:05:52 +0000 AJ 261684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Based on this pic, you look lovely already! Miss Em is just too adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-and-hair-and-hair-colour-help-please#post-261567 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 03:08:09 +0000 ticksgirl 261567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just echoing everyone else to say you look absolutely fantastic just as you are, truly. Radiant is the perfect word for you. I don't think you need to change a thing, but with that said, I can certainly relate to wanting to shake things up from time to time. I can see a deep dramatic red looking great on you. I can't offer any coloring advice, though, sorry.</p> <p>And I never got around to commenting on your other post about your daughter's hair, but it looks adorable and I'm glad she's happy with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-and-hair-and-hair-colour-help-please#post-261531 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 01:30:27 +0000 Kari 261531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and your daughter make such a sweet pair. I love her spunky new haircut - not quite a pixie, but a short and still feminine cut. What a cutie.</p> <p>Theresa, I also like your look right now. Your pixie cut is fun and REALLY showcases your beautiful smile. Your specs have pretty detail at the corners, and I like the shape of the frame with your face.</p> <p>When I used to get my hair colored at a salon, I think I went for a warmer red and noticed that the dye tended to fade orange. Now I dye my hair myself using a semi-permanent color - which leaves less of a "stain" or residue when it fades - and also use more of a burgundy-based red that fades to a brown-ish color rather than an orange-y color. I'm sorry if I'm not describing the color base very well - I'm not a color pro - so hopefully one of our hair color experts will step in. From my novice perspective, though, your thoughts on using a non-orange-based dye sounds like the way to go, and you can always try a semi-permanent salon dye first if you aren't sure whether you will like the results. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-and-hair-and-hair-colour-help-please#post-261522 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 01:08:46 +0000 Maya 261522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, you look positively radiant just the way you are. I would not change a thing. I know that is not helpful at all...but that's my reaction. Your hair, makeup, and specs are all perfect.</p> <p>Also, your daughter is a miniature version of you. Lucky her! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/specs-and-hair-and-hair-colour-help-please#post-261521 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 00:55:18 +0000 Theresa 261521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>Sorry to bombard you with all of these questions! I have literally 1 hour now, and then I probably wont be back until possibly tonight, but more likely Wednesday - this last week of school is rather chaotic!!</p> <p>Now all of this comes from me thinking something is not quite right with my look at the moment - I *think* its my hair colour, but I'd really appreciate your input. It could also be that I'm still working out ways of filling in my chest/neck area now I have short hair - colours are fab, but I don't have many!</p> <p>1. Specs - do you think when you have a major hair change (like going to a pixie LOL), what suits you as far as specs go, changes? Do you think my specs are still ok?</p> <p>2. Hair Colour - my hair is currently mostly my natural colour for about 1", but the rest is worn out colour - and quite orangey. (It had been dark, then light, then dark again and the colour used to fade really quickly). I've been using my Colour Refresher Mousse (which is a Dark Ash Blond - apparently this is the one I needed to counteract the orangey, but this was sold to my by another stylist and I forgot to ask my new favourite one last week when I was there), but it doesn't seem to be helping much. And after all of that, what I was wanting to ask was... do you think its too light for me or is it something else that's wrong?</p> <p>3. Last Question! When I was getting my trim last week, my stylist suggested my next colour is a really bold dramatic dark red colour - she thought it would suit me and look really good. I am booked for a colour on January 4th, so I have some time to decide, but what do you think about this for me? I would have to be sure that it was a dark and blue based colour (perhaps a burgundy?) and nothing too orangey - or is any red going to fad to orange?</p> <p>I just feel a bit blah at the moment and I think its a combo of colour not being dark enough for me, and now that it has faded, my clothes aren't really working for me.</p> <p>Here is a pic of me last night at our Carols on the Beach to refresh your memory (and of course, I had to include the one with my beautiful Miss Em!!) I do have red lippie and tinted moisturiser on though... so perhaps this isn't a good pic to gauge seeing as I'm wearing some make up... And come to think of it, my hair seems a bit darker in this too because I had used the colour refresher in the morning... I'll see if I can find a more accurate pic!</p> <p>In the meantime though, thanks for reading through all my ramblings, and I really do appreciate any help you guys can offer. I'm not sure if it really is my hair colour that's not right or if its more that I'm feeling overwhelmed with stuff to do, zero shopping budget, horrible weather and wanting to have a nice sleep in!!</p> <p>Thanks so much everyone! </p>
