Which do you want, the freshman teased bob, the sophomore giant bangs, or the junior perm explosion?

Actually, nobody gets to see those pictures except my husband. We look at our old yearbooks and laugh at each other. He wore Gary Larsen T-shirts and combat fatigues.

Hi JSizzle225,

I don't sit on a stump and tell stories at that latitude.

Lol, that's adorable. We don't have yearbooks in Spain and it's such a shame.

The perm explosion! That's a classic. Everyone who was anyone had to have it around here. I was still too young and my parents wouldn't let me, but my older cousins fried their hair repeatedly. I was actually jealous!

And I wanted to look like the Bangles. Or Bananarama

MY genteleman prefers only brunettes. Always have and I'm assuming always will.

The issue they usually face is fading, not roots growing in, as by the time the roots grow in, the color is all washed out & drab. Dying your hair darker is hard to maintain because the color washes out fast.

Although, I have seen roots on natural blonds, but they were dark blonds, and the dark color was washed out a bit, so it was not dramatic. It creates a "halo" effect on the head & can even look "grayish".

My older sister colors her hair blond, but she was blond as a kid and is technically still a dark blond (blond hair has a wider range than many people think; lots of adults are dark blonds, but it's just a dull color). I've seen her with dark hair; she looks waaay better blond, and it's not dry or frizzy either. She definitely gets a lot of attention from men. Being brunette and having a more serene vibe, I attract totally different types of guys than her.

I used to use a mascara-type wand that was for color touch-ups. Since my natural color is not BLONDE blonde, more of a medium-dark blonde shade, it worked okay.

Unless it rained, then it sucked. Plus, the wand kept getting tangled in my hair. =P

Not if it's henna. Especially if you've done more than one application. In my experience, with henna, it's there until you cut it out. (The indigo is less permanent until a second or third overlap application.)

The great majority of men that I know have asserted a preference for brunettes. That includes my ex and my current BF. Yep...I'm a blonde.

I do. I am a natural very light blonde and I dye it red.

I have experimented with every hair color and never noticed a change in the attention I got from people when I changed color. My current hair color is full of blonde highlights. I think it suits me best.

I also know a natural blonde who dyes her hair red.

Julia, you really should at least post a pic in your profile of your 80s hair. I love the canteloupe colored hair. lol!
