My First Foray into Highlights
- Posted by Sarah on April 4, 2008 at 03:22PM
I got highlights for the first time. As you may have read in my previous blog, until then I was a hair-color virgin. This sparked a bit of excitement at the Nelson J salon where I went (the owner, Nelson Chan, is on our expert panel). It seems colorists love a first-timer, and after a quick joke about bright red streaks (ahh!), Nelson set to work using two shades slightly lighter than my natural color.
You can see the results above. I'm pretty happy with it, although to be fair I wasn't really unhappy with my color before. What do you think of it? Better than before?

While not a complete hair virgin (I\'ve played with temporary dyes), I\'ve never had professional coloring before either. My mother has been suggesting highlights for a long time now, and I finally decided, why not? I naturally get blonde & red highlights from the sun and always wanted to be a redhead (was strawberry blonde for a while when I was 2), so I asked the professional hair dude, what do you think about red? The hair dude said no no no, blonde. Well - I like what he does with my friend\'s hair so okay. He\'s the expert. Not wanting to look completely artificial, I asked for subtle. Well a very long time and a lot of tinfoil later (and a little over $200 for the cut & color), it was done. No more hair virgin. And its subtle. You can barely see it! Looks about the same as before. Maybe a little too subtle for $200? Yours looks really nice. Brightens your hair and looks natural. Yours looks like how I imagined mine would turn out. I think if I ever do it again (doubtful) I\'ll insist on red.
