Alright, let’s talk about how I ended up with this “dirty dirty blonde” hair situation. It all started when I got bored with my usual hair color. I mean, I’ve been every shade of blonde, from platinum to honey, and I just felt like I needed a change, but nothing too drastic.
So, I did what any normal person would do – I spent hours scrolling through pictures of hair colors online. And that’s when I stumbled upon “dirty blonde.” It looked kinda cool, you know? Like a mix of blonde and brown, but not in a messy way. More like a “lived-in,” effortless kind of vibe.
Now, I’m not one to rush into things, especially when it comes to my hair. So, I did some more digging. Turns out, dirty blonde is a pretty popular choice these days. It’s supposed to be low-maintenance, which sounded great to me. And it’s got these wheaty, brown undertones that make it look, well, “dirty,” but in a good way. It’s kind of like that messy-hair-don’t-care look, but for your hair color.
But here’s the thing: dirty blonde is not just one color. It’s like, a whole spectrum. You’ve got your lighter shades, your darker shades, and everything in between. So, I had to figure out which one would look best on me. I read somewhere that dirty blonde looks good on people with warm complexions. I think I have a warm complexion? I don’t know, I’m not a color expert. And my eyes, they are dark green, which I read somewhere should go with rich jewel tones. I decided to take a little risk with some darker shades in there, to give it some depth.
The Process
I decided to go to a salon. I know, I know, I could’ve tried to do it myself, but I’ve had some DIY hair disasters in the past, and I wasn’t about to risk it this time. I found a stylist who seemed to know what she was doing, and I showed her some pictures of what I wanted.
She suggested adding some lowlights, which are basically darker strands of hair. Apparently, it helps to create dimension and make the color look more natural. It sounded complicated, so I was glad I wasn’t doing it myself.
The whole process took a few hours. There was a lot of foil involved, and some waiting around. But eventually, it was done. And you know what? I actually liked it. My hair didn’t look too blonde, or too brown. It was just… right. It was dirty blonde, and it looked pretty good, if I do say so myself.
The Result
- Low-Maintenance: It really is low-maintenance. I don’t have to worry about roots as much.
- Dimension: The lowlights added some nice depth.
- Looks Natural: It doesn’t look like I tried too hard, which is exactly what I wanted.
So, yeah, that’s my dirty blonde hair story. It wasn’t too complicated, and I’m happy with how it turned out. If you’re thinking about going dirty blonde, I say go for it. Just make sure you find a good stylist, and don’t be afraid to experiment a little. You might just end up with a hair color you really love.
