Your colleagues may notice that you look different but not really notice that it is your hair, or just notice the new cut. People really don't notice us as much as we think that they do.

Your outfit is typical Deb fabulousness. Shoes particularly.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260999 Sun, 25 May 2014 22:12:47 +0000 Vicki 1260999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, this is a new look for you and I am seeing some subtle dimensional coloring in the second photo. &nbsp;However, I'm sure that a full platinum color will require more bleaching as time goes on, so coloring with low lights may be easier on the hair and you'll still have the platinum tresses you desire. &nbsp;No matter what you decide, you have a striking appearance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260981 Sun, 25 May 2014 21:34:48 +0000 Anonymous 1260981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know how I missed this yesterday! Wow, this is a very dramatic look. I like it even more after reading all the comments and then going back through the pictures again. Are you still surprised when you catch yourself in the mirror or have you gotten used to it yet? I think it's not a bad idea to give it a week if you can, before making any decisions to change it. I love your hair with the low-lights woven in, but whatever you decide will be great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260954 Sun, 25 May 2014 20:11:33 +0000 Sheila 1260954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is funny as I was at the hairstylist two weeks ago... the most expensive haircut I have ever had ... EEEK ! </p> <p>But HE told me... "Don't wash more than once a week ! ". He says 4- 10 days between washings !</p> <p>I think multitone gives the "impression" of thickness sometimes.&nbsp; I find it looks more natural - but sometimes "natural"&nbsp; is not what one is looking for. AND like the other ladies have said - it is all about personal preference. </p> <p>I think foils are the way to go - to keep haircolor or bleach off your scalp. If you would not do it to your face or arm... then best not to do it. </p> <p>I am probably not one to take hair advice from though... </p> <p>You are a very pretty lady... would look good in anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260782 Sun, 25 May 2014 12:49:32 +0000 Jaime 1260782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of good advice above. I would wait at least a couple of weeks because I find it takes me a while to get used to a big change and decide how I feel about it. One reason I stopped coloring my hair was the dye burned my scalp, so I certainly understand that as a major factor. You look stunning, but you are always gorgeous Deborah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260660 Sun, 25 May 2014 04:20:29 +0000 Gigi 1260660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like what Angie said, about how multidimensional color adds texture and interest. I think I naturally prefer that kind of hair as opposed to a very uniform shade. However, I will say that since you have just had this done, I would wait at least a week before having anything changed, because you want to give yourself time to mentally and emotionally adjust to the new color. Once you're used to seeing yourself with your new color, you'll know better what kinds of changes you want to make, if any.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know I am guilty of having something done, or maybe of buying a new piece of clothing, and then immediately I decide that I don't like this or that about it. I decide I'm going to return the item the next day, or take it to the tailor immediately for alts, or whatever. But&nbsp;I have found that if I wait, I almost always get more clarity, and I often change my original plan. So that's my recommendation. :^) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260202 Sat, 24 May 2014 18:02:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1260202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit Deb. Only you know how your hair looks IRL. I do hear you about the scalp reaction. When going lighter, it used to irritate my scalp too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260169 Sat, 24 May 2014 17:25:27 +0000 Gaylene 1260169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As others have said, your hair looks pretty fabulous in the pictures. Why not enjoy the look for a few weeks, especially if you don't see keeping it as a permanent look. If nothing else, you can always look back at the pictures and remember the heady feeling of giving in to an impulse just for fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260166 Sat, 24 May 2014 17:20:11 +0000 rachylou 1260166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to tell you, Deb, the hair is outstanding. And it can fly punkier or more conventional.</p> <p>However, I've given up on dying my hair. I really worry about damage these days. I've got a lot of damage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260155 Sat, 24 May 2014 17:10:21 +0000 Dana 1260155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love your hair!!! I read in Vogue that one dimension hair color is the thing right now. But if the bleach hurt my scalp, I wouldn't do it again either. It's fun to try something once even if it's short lived. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260135 Sat, 24 May 2014 16:46:08 +0000 abc 1260135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you can do wrong with your hair. Honestly. Platinum looks amazing but it does as well when you have the regular color like usual. Your cut makes it all that much better. Fwiw you are my hair icon on ylf. I think Angie summed it up best though. What makes you happy is what you should go for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260114 Sat, 24 May 2014 15:58:48 +0000 Diana 1260114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the hair!</p> <p>Re: the bleach. I have never had bleach done but with the dye (ammonia based) my stylist uses, it helps a great deal with scalp itching/burning to do it on an unwashed scalp. At least one day without washing, preferably two. The extra oils really protect your scalp. So maybe another reason not to wash your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260053 Sat, 24 May 2014 14:37:46 +0000 jackiec 1260053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know a think about bleach, but I really love your look. I've always loved your look, but with your hair shorter and lighter I feel like you've really stepped up your "cool" factor. Truly, you look SO stylish and hip and amazing. Really inspirational. Really. I can't get over it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260040 Sat, 24 May 2014 14:24:19 +0000 neonginger 1260040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair color looks amazing!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260036 Sat, 24 May 2014 14:21:26 +0000 Angie 1260036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debs, I have never had my hair bleached - but my mate&nbsp;Laura has -&nbsp;and she said it hurt. So I hear you. She had to stop with the whole bleaching thing because of that.&nbsp;</p> <p>Personally, I prefer blonde hair with multidimensional colour - just as you are feeling right now. It looks prettier, softer, more textured&nbsp;and more alive that way&nbsp;-&nbsp;if you know what I mean (especially as you get older). It softens your head to toe black outfits too.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>There is no right and wrong here though, Debs. It's all a subjective preference. I'm glad you tried the one dimentional bleached look - you HAD to get it out of your system. Furthermore, adding softness and "pretty" are so <i>not</i> everyone's style goal. So it needn't be yours either. You look great either way and lots of love. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260010 Sat, 24 May 2014 13:10:30 +0000 celia 1260010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy weekend!&nbsp;<br />You look fabulous in your trademark Deborah outfit, and your new hair is over the top fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1260008 Sat, 24 May 2014 13:08:30 +0000 kkards 1260008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i always find it takes a few days to get used to "new hair". even if its a small change, it can be hard looking at the new you in the mirror. but somehow looking at it in a picture is different. i guess what i'm trying to say, is take sometime to get used to it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1259960 Sat, 24 May 2014 11:36:20 +0000 Mona 1259960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like&nbsp;your new hair.

Fabulous!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1259956 Sat, 24 May 2014 11:26:53 +0000 Deborah 1259956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks DV:). I already use a purple shampoo to stop my blonde from going brassy. I also bought a conditioning toner. So will definitely be using that to keep the colour under control. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1259954 Sat, 24 May 2014 11:22:26 +0000 Day Vies 1259954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the effect, but <u></u>I think you're right there is something to be said for color with dimension -- I think what I hear you saying is the color though striking is rather flat. As for the yellowing when you do wash I would suggest a good "blue" shampoo. Your colorist/stylist may have mentioned it. I know I had to use it after I dyed my hair a deep rich red tone (reds are the hardest to maintain!) To keep the brassiness/yellow-orange tones out I had to wash at least once, once a week with a "blue" shampoo. It worked like a charm even when I was growing the color out and it would get a bit "orange" the blue shampoo was great at correcting the color so my hair looked more brown than anything. All of that long paragraph to say blue cancels out/ erases/ neutralizes yellow tones and you should ask your colorist/stylist about using blue shampoo to help maintain your platinum color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1259951 Sat, 24 May 2014 10:58:06 +0000 tricia w. 1259951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you think maybe it's the shock of seeing something so different on yourself? &nbsp;Having gone back to view earlier postings of what you've worn, (Pre haircut and color,) I think this cut and color&nbsp;is very flattering to your style, and so polished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1259921 Sat, 24 May 2014 07:54:54 +0000 Anonymous 1259921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, it doesn't look one dimensional in the photos, especially #2.

But if you are not comfortable then it does make sense to do what it takes :). I know nothing about coloring, so I cannot really advice on it.</p> <p>I love your today's outfit :). The booties have been a perfect addition to your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-unwashed#post-1259912 Sat, 24 May 2014 06:31:08 +0000 CocoLion 1259912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I commented before I like your hair very much. &nbsp;Maybe the mirror issue is just that the color needs some softening. &nbsp;Doesn't it change after a week or so? &nbsp;The hair truly suits your style, but I can see how a dramatic color like this might need some tweaking before it feels like "you." &nbsp;</p> <p>The outfit has your usual artistic edge and the necklace is beautiful! </p>
