I have an appointment

[justgreen]

I'm going next week for DARK lowlights, heavy, with sprinkles of silver shot through. I want 'AutumnLeaves' hair! I also have True Sapphire contacts coming and BROWN ones. I have green eyes.

[MotherConfessor]

that sounds so beautiful!!!!!!!!!

[cindy58]

Wow, that will be a change! The new contact colors sound like fun too.

[Curlsgirl]

Wow! Are you sure about this? Your hair is so lovely as it is! But I guess you have thought it through. So does this mean you are going to let your silvers come in? I can't wait to see pics!

[AutumnLeaves]

I am so honored, darlin'! I cannot wait to see, especially with your new colored lenses! But I love green eyes too...

[Katze]

sounds very pretty! Do you mean they are going to dye your hair silver, too...?

Colored contacts always seemed like they'd be fun. You will have three eye colors to choose from!

[darkwaves]

That sounds beautiful! (Which is just what you are now, too!)

Enjoy the adventure.

[GlassEyes]

Ooooh, I'm so jealous on both fronts. I want silver hair and gray eyes dammit. xD;

I'm sure it'll look lovely.

[lora410]

I have been messing with the idea of doing silver highlight myself but it would look very funny once it grows out *sigh* I am sure they will look beautiful with your blonde hair. Please post picts :D

[paper]

oh, that sounds pretty! I can't wait to see pics.

[DavidN]

All of us are looking forward to seeing how your "Autumnleaves" hair turms out, Justy, and best of luck to you!

[justgreen]

I'm so antsy! Thank you all for waiting with me as the day approaches! I have thought about this for over a year.....I know that the lowlights will fade a bit, but if they do look good, it might give me incentive to go ahead and let my blonde grow out, helping it a bit every six months or so, until it is away from my face. Then I'll just bun a lot and enjoy my hair!

[Sherri]

Do post pics of those Sapphire peepers when you get 'em.

[justgreen]

I shall try but I'm horrid with a camera!

[maskedrose]

That sounds beautiful Justy! If I remember correctly, your underlayer is pretty dark, right? If so, the lowlights should look fantastic, and will probably definitely help with the blonde-growout woes. Good luck and be sure to post pics when you're done!

[wintersun99]

That sounds like a gorgeous change... can't wait to see pictures. :D

[justgreen]

Thank you all! I'm sitting here thinking....about four years ago I was blonde and decided to give my hair a break and dyed it medium dark brown and it didn't fade much. I might just have her dye my hair, then get the silver highlights.....oh the possibilities!

[wintersun99]

Wait - how do you get silver/gray highlights? Do you mean to naturally grow them in or have you found a salon that claims to be able to dye them that color? I've read that there is no way for salons to duplicate the color gray... curious

p.s. I'm probably misreading your post and you mean to just naturally grow your hair ... I'm tired today :D

[justgreen]

Most of the pigment is already removed from the top of my hair. She would foil in the silvery color (she did this to Jackie last month), then dye the rest of my hair that is blonde,leaving my natural underneath dark panel alone.

[missy60]

I thought about growing out my greys also. My stylist also suggested lowlights then gradually decreasing them as the grey comes in more. I just coudnt stand the two tone hair with the line while it was growing out. I dont think my hair would lift enough with out alot of damage to tone grey. It sounds like it will be beautiful if it looks like AutumnLeaves hair.

[justgreen]

That's why I think I'll go ahead with the whole color instead of lowlights. Having this thread has made me remember when I did this before, only without the silver. My own silver is pretty sparse on top.

[missy60]

I think it would be the perfect solution to growing in grey. She would just foil some of your blonde hair then color the rest of the hair brown. Then tone with a silvery toner, there you would have it. You could place the foils with the blonde where you have the most grey and when your natural greys grew in you wouldnt even have to do the roots on that part. Ok maybe Im thinking out loud because that seems like the perfect solution for my own hair.

[justgreen]

It sounds like a good plan, doesn't it and my colorist is very good. It's time for a change and I believe it's one for the better! I hope my contacts come in the mail tomorrow!

[missy60]

I think it is the perfect plan, but I LOVE your hair now. Thats why I said it would be the perfect plan for me:D

[justgreen]

See but that's the good thing for me. Later on, if I decide to, I can have small foils of blonde done....my hair does ok and I always over moisturise.

[justgreen]

I'm going today! Rhonda called and said she had most of the afternoon free! This is weird , I was driving home this morning and JACKIE called and asked if Rhonda works on Saturday, so we have back to back appointments again.

[hippiechick1976]

[susiemw]

I can't wait to see!
I'm so glad it turned out the way you wanted it to!

Susan
ps I had no idea they could do silver highlights.. that sounds gorgeous

[justgreen]

For the silver highlights what she did, she foiled all the brown, then rinsed it out, then put a platinum blonde toner on my blonde and it went silver.

I'm so sorry, I will try try try tomorrow to get a pic of the back after I take and shower and wash/dry it.

[Carolyn]

What? You can't take a mirror pic like the rest of us? :p

[justgreen]

I can't get to a mirror, my bathroom has tile laid and glue adhering, cannot step on it.

[froglet]

How exciting Justy! I'm so glad it turned out wonderfully and that you love it.

I'm looking forward to seeing the pics. :D

[Carolyn]

OK Ms Justy :p I forgot about all your home construction. You are excused this time!

[justgreen]

I'll try to get Penny to take a pic after I get it washed/dried and when the sun decides to show!

[gallows_gallery]

Thank you Justy!

I'm looking forward to growing out my natural color and seeing what it looks like.

I'm really intrigued about your silver highlights, I can't wait to see the pictures. :p

[justgreen]

Well, it's safe to walk on my tiles so I will try a mirror pic tomorrow.

[maskedrose]

Ack the suspense is killing me too! I can't wait to see those pics! They better come soon or else :patrol:

[justgreen]

Ok, here it is, it's not a great one, doesn't show the length, but you can get the general idea!

[paper]

I love it Justy. Very pretty!

[Unofficial_Rose]

From your initial post I thought you'd be going very dark, but that looks lovely :flower: Will the upkeep be easier/less frequent?

[justgreen]

Believe me , it is much darker than the photo shows. Had to go dark because it will eventually start to lighten. Then I'll get a few highlights again!:D

[spidermom]

I guess my eyes are worse than everybody else's because the picture shown so far isn't adequate. More!

[Sherri]

I second spidermom. More, more, more pics please.

[missy60]

I guess my eyes are worse than everybody else's because the picture shown so far isn't adequate. More!

From what I can tell it looks nice, but my eyes are not to good either. I need more pics ;)

[jojo]

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b168/justgreen_/LHC/011-5.jpg now that is what i call pretty and it is so long too.

[Xandergrammy]

My eyes aren't so hot either. I know I need to see another few photos. :flowers:
