I want to be Blonde!!!!

DHW
By DHW

I've never changed my hair color....I need to change it to blonde!!!!

Some of you may not agree, but this's what I want, for the moment.

Where is the best coiffeur in Doha??? I don't want surprises but I would like a hair dresser who'll suggest the best (in my case, I have brown hair, honey eyes and white skin)
Ladies, any advice????

Thanks

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I've tried so many hairdressers in Doha to have my blonde hair maintained and I either go home with yellow hair, ash blonde (then it goes grey in a week) and its as brittle as a brittle thing. I've even paid 1100 QR at the 4 seasons and within a week my hair turned gold...Since then I've gone brunette, hence my avator.

Must say that I miss being a blonde as its more striking (for me).

If you can find somewhere decent (oh and tell me about it) go for it girl!!! You can always change it back, it's not like a tattoo!!

LOL star, nope I'm nowhere near being a blonde, I'm a true brunette, but it's just their aura. It's really weird!

it won't go orange...in fact, red fades much faster than any other color...so it goes gradually...

and yes, let's go get pampered..we both deserve it!!..just let me know when after the 16th and let's schedule an US day...

By Cornellian• 5 Dec 2007 18:25

Awesome! We can have a day of pampering...yay! The only thing that freaks me about dying my hair red is for it to rust and turn orange....ekkkkhh!

This a my final said about coloring your hair, Be ready to cut your loses If the profile does not meet your criteria and be happy with your decision.

Otherwise leave it alone. Don't pretend to be a freak of nature, just be your self and don't let it get to your head your new looks.

Blonde's are nice to watch in a nice cold afternoon.

My Kuwaiti friend tried to dye his black hair blonde once.

I dyed mine red (yes yes University years).

His hair ended up orange and puffy. He looked like ronald mcdonald.

ooo u think? Once I finish my exams (16th Dec) I'm heading to the hair dresser to fix my hair, and then get a manicure, pedicure and then go the spa to get a facial and massage. I so badly need it!

Deep dark red ? hmmm never thought of it...

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

done in a deep dark red...you could pull that off easily...

ohh just think...redhead, voluptuous, great eyes...feather boa and heels..ohh geez we'd be fighting the men off you with baseball bats...

Alexa and Scarlett, thanks for your advice

However, I'll try Michel for a blow dry and ask him his opinion.

Ladies, ask me why I want to go for blonde???? Personally, I don't know why !!!!!!!!!!

I'll go to bed and as we say in French: la nuit porte conseil

translation: the night carries council

Good night and thanks to all of you

but also works as a conditioner of sorts...

I do like the beer one though..it really does add body too..so you get two results..and smell like a brewery in the process...one for my hair, one for me, one for my hair, one for me...

Am not joking about this issue. A proven method.

Also Cammomile makes the hair brownish but it takes time.

For tanning, they add carrot juice to tan oil. Makes nice color

for sure do NOT do anything ash blonde..that can pull green and really do a number on your coloring...

Scarlett, I agree

if the hair stylist is good, he's suppose to suggest the best for my hair, which should go with my eyes and skin color

I was just wondering who's the best to do it for me in Doha, before new year...

my hair dresser, back home, never agreed to change my hair color to blonde coz he thought it will make me look more white/yellow, especially because i don't put make-up

By Scarlett• 5 Dec 2007 17:23
Scarlett

joking...

cause if she drank the beer, then slept in the sun, she's be a strawberry red blonde...course that would be cause she's be sunburned..

In my opinion your hair is just fine as it is.

Don't start thinking in dying your hair like a bumble bee.

it is very popular back home. rinse the hair with beer and stay in the sun. will give very nice blond color

By Scarlett• 5 Dec 2007 17:19

pshaw....

dhw...seriously..start a bit darker blonde and add in highlights...if you like that then add in more highlights and go gradually that way...really can look good if the stylist knows what they are doing..

drink the beer and lie in the sun, is that what you are talking about?? falling asleep in the sun??

Never heard about beer to lighten your hair..will add more body to it though...and lemon juice lightens it but will dry it out..a lot..

i know beer is good for the hair, someone told me about the lemons..

lemon will make your hair very very dry.

a proven way is to use beer and sun.

Also cammomile shower would do similar effect

Someone told me last night that you just need a lemon and a sun to make your hair blonde..
