Friday Favorites - Hair of Many Colors

A few days ago, a co-worker reminded me of a Baz Luhrmann song, "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)," released in 1998 as advice to the graduating class of 99. This song is full of pretty great advice. But, other than, "be nice to your siblings," sadly, I have heeded almost none of it (lucky I graduated a few short years before 1998 and therefore cannot be held accountable for my lack of following).

For example:
-wear sunscreen (nope, almost never do)
-don't worry about the future (nope - I am a serious worrier)
-don't put up with people who are reckless with your heart (not even close)
-throw away bank statements (nope - just found some that were about 20 years old - thankfully, my sister-in-law shredded them for me)
-and... don't mess too much with your hair...

Yikes. During the last five to six years, I've changed my hair color a lot. What's important about this is not what it says about me, but which color(s) is(are) best.

Light: Medium: Or Dark: So - what say ye??

On a side note - Baz says, "Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85." Well, I am almost 40 and I do have a lot more grey hair than I did a few years ago, but, flip - 85??

Not enough options to choose from. Please die your hair and repost...I'm looking for orange or red or purple. Yes. Orange.

I was actually thinking about some purple extensions with the black for next time, but as you well know - I am most certainly NOT an orange person.

You're beautiful no matter what color your hair is! You don't even look close to 40, so do whatever you want to your hair--don't listen to Baz (I think he's talking about men anyway :D ).
Love ya!

Yo girly girl....there is hair and then there is "hair"...you have "hair" which means you can do anything you want to it anytime, anywhere and all it will do is slowly reveal the essence of what lies beneath to the world..... so, keep coloring, weaving, tinselling, extending, layering, highlighting, and messin' with it cause it all works!! (*If Dogfight is going to appear, then go dark)

Light! Your always-so-perfect tan goes really well with it. No one will ever be disappointed with the dark, though. You pull it all off!

I love the medium! It's some sassy & some classy. But I also like the light because like Kami said your skin is perfect & you pull off the sexy light color as well! You have such beautiful hair I still remember being so envious of you when Nate & I first started dating & you had the best hair, you still do!
