My New Hair Color! + How I got my ombre highlights

Expand the down bar! It's full of pictures and helpful info :D! No, this isn't a DIY on coloring your hair at home. I really don't think lightening your hair at home is a wise idea. I've seen a lot of hair disasters that resulted from at home color, so I'm only interested in helping you communicate with your hair stylist :). The StyleHaul shoot where I was turned into Spencer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DULrbpuYlCA Things to ask for: -Ombre highlights / off the scalp highlights -Explain: I like to have the ends lighter, but I don't want all of my hair perfectly faded. I like it to look broken up, so I still see some of the dark pieces through the ends. -Bring: A picture of highlights that you like and a picture that shows the hair colors that you like. Explain what you do and don't like about the hair in those pictures -Optional: Talk to your stylist about putting some highlights up close to your scalp to add a more sun kissed look. Make sure if you want some traditional highlights as well, your picture of the highlights you like has highlights up close to the scalp. -Optional 2: Ask him/her about how they will achieve that look in your hair. They might plan to use bleach, and if that is a problem for you, you want to address that before they apply it to your hair. (Side note, if your hair is dark and you want to go much lighter or it has been previously colored, it will need to have bleach applied to it) *I don't promise that your hair will look exactly like you pict
