Colorful

DSC_8778
 I enjoy the occasional hair experiment and excitedly agreed to this blue-green hue for a photoshoot with a Detroit-based salon. They're going for a pastel green and they'll do something along the lines of smooth hair on top and frizzy curls at the bottom, which is why my hair is only partially straightened. The color will be out of my hair by tonight, sadly, but I'm trying to live life to the fullest before I return to normal color hair. I work in government and my hair has to be back to a more natural hue by the time I'm back at the office on Tuesday. And so in the interim, I'm making sure I'm taking photos, being out and about and feeling a little like a different person, which is a fun break from uptight blonde Andrea.

your hair reminds me of blueberry cotton candy.... an ethereal sucrose treat, delicately spun and wild.

Love your hair girl! Do you ever watch How Do I Look? They had a girl on there not long ago that went all hot pink hair and I have wanted to do it since. Alas, the legal field apparently frowns on colored hair. Boo.

Lovely post! I would be so afraid to do this to my hair, even if it washable. You looks absolutely fun and fearless.

Darlin' I've never known you to be uptight. Type A, maybe - but likeing things just so doesn't mean you're uptight!
