Electric blue

So, I felt like a bit of a change, and I've dyed my hair! 

Not completely, of course. Actually I've just highlighted it with blue and lowlighted with a bit of charcoal, and just in the front. Here is the result. 

I'm also wearing new sunnies. Last week I went through a panic, thinking I'd lost my old ones and went out and bought two new pair, only to find my old beloved pair -- so I returned one option and kept one, because it's always fun to have something different and always important to have a backup!

    Suz, your hair looks awesome! Love it! And yes, it’s super important to me to have at least two pairs of sunglasses but mine are prescription too.

    !!! I love it!

    Desperately in need of prescription sunglasses but my prescription is so strong that any microscopic difference between the sunglasses and the regular ones leaves me all discombobulated and out of sorts so I usually just suffer the sun in my eyes.

    KILLER cute new 'do and sunnies, Suz!

    The blue streaks make your blue eyes pop! LOVE.

    Such a fun and playful change. Enjoy :)

    Oh wow you look great!  I love your sunglasses, too.

    What a fun and playful way to highlight your hair. Electric blue works so well with your eyes and your wardrobe.

    Great sunglasses and great hair color, perfect for all the beautiful blues and cool colors in your wardrobe.

    Looks so cool, Suz! Love the sunglasses, too!

    What a fun change, the blue hair is soft and flattering. And yay for new sunnies. The clear frame is lovely on you. I am a big sunglasses fan and I don't think one can ever own too many sunnies. :)

    Thanks, all. It is a fun change! I think the blue will fade relatively quickly and I am curious to see how it looks as it grows out/ fades out.

    Great cut and colour - and I especially love the sunglasses !  My everyday Ray Bans are feeling most ordinary these days...

    I love it! I've always wanted blue streaks but my hairdresser won't do it. She says too damaging because my hair is dark and she'd have to completely bleach it. Glad you got to have it!

  • Joyce B replied 2 weeks ago

    Your hair looks fantastic! Great styling and color for you.

    Beautiful!

    Fun, fab and daring! 

  • Carol replied 2 weeks ago

    Such a fun choice! Did you do it at a salon or yourself? 

  • Suz replied 2 weeks ago

    I had it done at my salon, Carol. I'd have been too nervous to do it myself -- it's not easy to get the weave right. Plus, I love my hairdresser, so it's fun to see what she does. 

    Peri, I know -- it's lucky my hair is so pale now, so it doesn't need bleach -- though the blue is only semi-permanent as a result. The charcoal is more permanent and will last longer. I did it with just a charcoal a few years ago but wanted to try something more adventurous this time. 

    Thanks for the nice words, all! It will be interesting to see how to grows out -- I will keep you posted.

    Oooh, daring and pretty! Cool sunnies, too.

    Love, love, love!!!!

  • Helena replied 2 weeks ago

    So cute!! Love those sunnies on you, they are perfect!

  • Star replied 2 weeks ago

    Fun change Suz!  Just in time for summer.  Not too drastic but noticeably cool.
    PS: I am still loving my toned hair and the way it washes out.  Even at 2 months with no re-tone it blends well with my natural hair colour so barely noticeable.  I am sure yours will be similar.  Just funky tips eventually if you don't redo it.

    Love it on you!!

  • slim cat replied 1 week ago

    Love your hair - fantastic look with new sunglasses ( considering adding a few lowlights myself - greying too much and getting bleached by the sun ;-) )!

  • Laurie replied 1 week ago

    ok, that's very fun! Love it. The striped sweater is a perfect compliment.

    I don,t see much colored hair around here. Mostly the women look natural. You look wonderful.

  • Ket replied 1 week ago

    Fabulous!!! I just love this for you! xo

  • Jenni NZ replied 1 week ago

    You look lovely Suz, it’s so pretty on you. You might encourage me to look into it one day!
    No rush though!

  • Suntiger replied 1 week ago

    Love the hair and yay for new sunnies too! My rx sunnies are worn far more than my normal specs :)
