These are both very recent photos of me. I had let my hair go natural which is a dirty "blonde" type color. A stylist once told me it was dirty blonde....I call it more of just plain old brown. LOL. Anyway for years now I've been trending towards this sapphire black color. Sometimes I let it go longer between colorings and this time it was nearly back to natural (photo on left w/ white shirt.)
I really like the sapphire black. I have tried violet black and it looked too red and and I really didn't like it. I have some strong native American ancestry so the black works well with a fun blue hue, of course. Flat black just isn't as rad!
What do you think? I like me both ways but if I could perma color my hair it'd be sapphire black or some kick ass rainbow color. =)
Also I cut my own hair recently too, which you can see in this collage. I wish I hadn't taken quite so much off the length. But it'll grow back.
There are many hair cutting tutorials out there. Please make sure you get REAL hair cutting scissors before you try it though. Regular scissors do damage your hair and lead to increased split ends, which make me cringe.
I use the "ponytail" method to cut my hair of which there are a few different methods of those to try depending on what you're going for layering wise. I estimate it's been probably 3 years since I've been to a real stylist. Sure saves a lot of money! Heres a version of the hair cutting style I use:

If you think you wanna try start with a small length reduction first so you can get used to the method. Let me know how you like it if you try! It's kinda fun. I then try to save the hair to donate.
