Oh no... I did it!

OK my lovelies... to those of you who have inquired, I've done it... I'm officially a brunette now… and with much shorter hair!

It took a lot of courage out of me to opt for such drastic change, but in a way it felt good to be able to make that decision. I am not sure thought if this color match my personality… I think I'm already missing being a blonde ;) This is me this Dec. 27th, 2011 -- my last photograph as a blonde... Sad!

I did a little research on the Internet and couldn't believe the amount of sites with topics on blondes vs. brunettes. Where does the whole "dumb blonde" idea comes from? Pure speculations... I'm sure! ;)

  2. You are beautiful either way. I grew up with lots of dark hair, now I've got lots of gray... I may try something different. Courage!

  6. Very pretty. Sometimes it is nice to look in the mirror and see a change. Even if only for a bit.

  7. You are beautiful with either hair color, but I love the brunette color! Maybe it's cause I'm a brunette! Blessings from Bama!

  9. Looks very pretty. Do you find yourself wondering who that stranger in the mirror is?

    I have a mixture of blonde streaks with grey adding more streaks. I've tried going darker but always go back to lighter.

  10. I like dark. It looks more natural on you...and the hair cut is very much like Penelope which I know you were wanting! Embrace the lovely change. ox

  11. I love the dark hair, though you will need to love it. Think of all the ways you can play with this new look? I have a similar cut and with the shorter length and layers it is much easier to wear my hair up in updo's and large Bohemian buns. With the longer hair I couldn't pull it off. It is fun. Though as others have said, you have a face that doesn't look back in anything. blessings, Lady

  12. Lovely, Cielo. You now remind me of Snow White - the contrast of your hair and your creamy complexion. I grew up with all those 'blonde jokes'. Especially from my brothers. They think they're soooo funny! Some 'blondes' played it up, but I think underneath they were much smarter than those who thought they were 'dumb'.
    I know you'll enjoy experimenting with your new hairstyle. Hope you have a great weekend,
    Kathy

  18. When a person is as beautiful as you, inside and out... hair isn't the issue.. However, your hair is beautiful as a brunette... I love it.. Everyone needs a new lease on life now and then... I think you are pretty either way... I love the new look! Have a fun weekend. Are you off on Monday? I am.. Hallelujah!

  19. It looks great! Did you get the long layers then, too? I'm definitely leaning that way and will probably have the long layers put back in myself in a couple of weeks when I go get my bangs trimmed up. I like your hair both ways ~ my daughter recently went from brunette to redhead to honey blonde.

  20. I often wonder why the whole 'dumb blonde' comes from. To avoid all 'color of hair' jokes I shaved my head :-)

  23. É, nós somos assim... se não podemos mudar a vida, mudamos a cor dos cabelos... eu, este ano vou usar a tinta louro cinza para cobrir os meus cabelos brancos e dar um ar de luzes, sobre o castanho claro original... vamos ver como vai ficar... gostei de você morena...

  24. How do you adjust to shorter hair? Every time I cut mine, it feels like something is missing, like I'm not really me anymore.
