So for some reason my GF (of almost 5 years) decided to get highlights and lowlights in her hair. She said her hair had no life, so fine get a cut and blow dry. Her mother told her to do all these different things. I told her, and she knows I don't like light color hair and she knows I absolutely LOVE the way her hair is naturally. It's perfect! She comes in today with these highlights of a dark blonde I guess you can say. She even said it was more than she wanted but over a text she said "she thinks she likes it." Anyway, I'm not a fan of it. And it was very clear with my reaction. It's not like she looks awful or anything but I just don't understand why in the world she wanted to change the colors in her hair when she knew I thought it was PERFECT.
So now she's upset at me that I didnt say I liked it. What in the world am I suppose to do? Lie say I like it and have her continue to do this when I really don't like it at all. Her hair was perfect and now, it's just different with the colors. It's obvious I'm not a fan of it.
I'm hoping everyone else doesn't lie to her too/ or genuinely think it looks good. She's such a great looking girl, she did not need to change a thing!
What would you do? I'm telling her it doesn't look bad but I love the way her hair is naturally. Is that all I can do. I have no idea how long these things last.
I don't get women. They want me to love the way they are but when they change something I need to love that change?
Just read the highlights and lowlights last three months. Not so bad. Just don't want to lie to her to have her get it again.
What do you say???? Well be diplomatic, and kind but definitely tell her the truth. For example..."I think you are beautiful, I want you to be happy about the way you look but I am not a fan of this particular style and prefer the way it was. If she can't handle someone having an opinion she should not ask. Secondly all women are not this ridiculous. It's your girlfriend who is acting like this.

I think that sounds pretty good .
I'm skeptical about the 3 months thing, though, for dark hair. They bleach the highlighted parts, right? The color is not going to return. She will have to either wait til it grows long enough to cut off the bleached hair, or dye it back to the old color.

That's what I read online. I'm hoping for 3 months again it's not like she looks bad but I think she is perfect the way she is naturally. And I agree that's a pretty good sounding way.

Yes, it includes all fat, hair color changes (also grey) , cellulite, wrinkles, dementia, strech marks, becoming ill, blind and deaf Welcome to real world
In most cases highlights and whatever kind of hair coloring are just a waste of time and money. That being said, women are under a lot of pressure to magically transform themselves into whatever they see in magazines and TV.
Oh I've gone through this type of thing many times with my wife. Asks me what I think of her hair. If I like it, all is well. If not, well I will honestly tell her in as gentle a way possible, that it may not be the most flattering style. And so she gets upset. So I tell her that I can lie if she'd like, and that makes her even more upset. So, I've learned to just continue to be honest, and she can take it or leave it. Don't ask if you don't want to know.
