To color or not to color? - GoFuckYourself.com

JustJen · 09-10-2004, 11:45 AM

OK. I am going to go to the Philippines in a few mths. I really don't want to go blonde and be kidnapped or something. Sooooooo I am thinking a hair color change may be the way to go. My question is this: I am very blonde now. If I color it brunette, will it be very difficult to get back to my natural color??? What color do I go with? I have only ever been blonde. Help me out girls!

Go drastic and make it black

You must be blonde to bring this question to GFY.

Thrawn$ · 09-10-2004, 11:48 AM

Stay blonde and stay in your country

I want opinions from people who do not know me. Friends always try to protect your feelings. I know no onw here will do that. Take you for example

I have never changed my hair color, I have very very dark brown hair I could never see me blonde but I think the reverse is easier to do. I would go with a very ashy light brown and see how that goes. do a wash out so it is not to perm...good luck

Once you dye your hair, it takes about a year after it grows out to come close to your natural colour. I honestly would leave it be. You will always have to maintain it and you will never get back what you once had...My honest opinion. Take it from me, the queen of the hair dye! LOL

Shave it all off

Doctor Dre · 09-10-2004, 12:00 PM

Definitly color it ... way safer

that sounds like the perfect solution

Color it and don't bathe for a month...you'll fit right in with the Philipinos.

Zerof8 · 09-10-2004, 12:03 PM

Just make sure your shaved, then only go to nude beaches, no one will even look at the hair on your head

TurboAngel · 09-10-2004, 12:04 PM

You should get a wig, they make some nice ones. That way you don't have to do anything to your hair that might fuck it up.

The darker you go the more bleaching is needed when you want to change it back to your own color. If you are very blonde (not platinum), you're likely a level 8 or 9, talk to your hairstylist about how a level 7 or so would look on you. That would be brown/blonde. If you went completely brown that's more a level 5. And of course there's all sorts of browns.. red/browns, violet/browns, gold/browns, etc. The problem won't be the color now, but the bleaching when you want to change it back.

FUCK NO!!! You would be a fool to die it dark, get yourself a can of mace and stick that shit in your checked luggage or something...

Your hair is way to nice to damage like that...

Honest answer...

hey Jen, you going to some exotic Islands here in the PH, like Boracay or Palawan? Such places are the best destination spots tourists stay.

you don't need to color your hair, i know your gorgeous with your blonde look. There's lots of tourist here in the Metro and other places so people here are used to foreigners. PH is a one of the safe heaven and no more issues about kidnapping here.

JustJen · 09-10-2004, 12:28 PM

WOW. So much good info! I agree it would probably be very hard to get it back to my natural color. But honestly I think I am too old for blonde hair now anyway! A wig is a smart possibility though if I chicken out. Thanks everyone. I will most def. post pics if I do go brown!

tranza · 09-10-2004, 12:29 PM

What´s wrong with going as a blonde anyway???

Really???? I am still scared though. I am a big baby. Yep. We will go to Boracay for sure. My in-laws live in Columba Laguna (don't know spelling), but they always go there and say the island is beautiful
