WFMW: The Many Shades of Hair Color

Kristen is in Kenya! So keep her in your prayers, and click here to join Shannon @ Rocks In My Dryer.

Since I haven’t joined the fun at WFMW in a while, I thought I’d share about the wonderful world of hair color.  I love getting my hair done, and though the salon experience is a must, so is saving money with this thing we call economy.  Perusing the isle at your local Wal-mart, equipped with more choices than needed, can be daunting; so let’s narrow it down to some faves.  I’ll start with the many shades of Clairol since my ROUGE mini-mag happens to be seated next to me.  I have naturally dark hair, which I love, but gray is not my friend.  I tend to lean towards colors with a red/dark auburn hue to bring out and enhance natural highlights, so here are some of the top choices for me.  Don’t forget to look for some coupons to make the choice even easier.  My mag has some in the back, and you can’t go wrong with that.

So whether you prefer highlights or all over color, these pics show your best choices.  You can go directly to Clairol or Revlon to choose the shades just right for you.  Remember, hair coloring is not only to change you shade, it provides dimension to bring out your best facial features and can be the first step to a complete make over.  Have fun and enlist your husband for help.  Mine has proved to be better at the details than I am.  He has even taken the time to do the individual highlights. This time we chose Natural Instincts #22 Cinnaberry.  My sister and I recently got our hair done at our fave salon, so look for upcoming post Suzonne Rocks Our Hair for the big reveal.

You don’t have to stop with hair color alone, why not go all out and get some new makeup too.  You may want to try a different lipstick than those showcased.  They tend to be softer, and both of mine have broken.  But hey, they’ve definitely lasted me a while… I still love these products.
