set on it

[lauralh]

Right so I think I'm definitely gonna cut my hair an inch short next month. But then I need to color it in some way. The choices are:

1. All one color, blond
   
2. All one color, red
   
3. All one color, orange
   
4. All one color, purple
   
5. Highlights in any of the above
   

(here's a pic of me with shortish hair for reference - I think that's the shortest I've ever cut it.)

purple!

PURPLE!!
That'd be pretty.
Let me live vicariously through you. That'd be my first color choice if I could get away with it. Hmm, maybe I can. Muwahaha..

I would vote a deeper red or purple -- what about burgundy (I'm prejudiced, I realize)? Or deep red/burgundy with blonde highlights? I would stay away from blonde or orange; you're about as fair and high-contrast as I am; you'll probably look washed out with the blonde, and "off" if you go orange. A red-purple or a dark mahogany would 1. have high contrast with your skin, 2. "warm up" your skin with the red tones, and, most importantly, 3. have inherent punkiness. ;P

I've done honey-blond before to good effect; I look terrible with cool colors though (I looked like Morticia when I dyed my hair blue-black, and the red in my icon faded to magenta and also looked kinda bad).

When you said "blonde," I thought you meant light-medium blonde... Honey blonde I can see working... but orange, well... Unless you are talking citrus orange, or neon orange... (though, now that I think about it, what other orange would you really do... I guess that just shows how orange-avoidant I am). On account of my biases, though, I will still vote on the darker side... hell, go purple. Plum purple. Purple is good.

I'd say red or purple. I just can't picture you with orange or blonde hair.

i was sort of blond once (http://www.laural.com/gallery/1999/chinny.jpg)...

I personally vote blonde and _don't cut your hair off_. /shrug/

Really. You look like a 14yo boy in that photo with the short hair.

that wasn't one of the choices

maybe I should add to the FAQ:

(11) Wow, you look like a 14-year-old boy in some of your pics!

That's not a question.

I know it's not an option, and you hear that all the time, but I still felt a need to reiterate it. ;-)

You're very attractive with medium-length hair, arguably adorable with long hair, but I think short hair is not the best look for you -- it doesn't frame your face as nicely as medium-length hair.

you're leaving town, you don't get to have an opinion either.

[ex-agentcoo.livejournal.com]

I would classify your hair in that picture as minimum-length-possible for you. Also (importantly) it's off of your forehead and bears no resemblance to Paul McCartney. You look very good with swept-back bangs.

I'd definitely say you are much cuter with shorter, darker hair.

I liked one of the more recent pics you posted of you with early friends Jennifer Aniston-like hair. Though I'm slightly biased, because that's how I like my hair...
