New Hair & a bump pic

Firstly thank you all for your advice re my change of hair colour :)

The general consensus seemed to be to go for the auburn with blonde highlights.

So when I got to the hairdresser I told her what I was thinking and then she got the owner to talk to me about the colour and I thought Hmmmm.... this is exactly what Trish said in her comment yesterday:

"Ok Janette, this ones right up my alley because I am a hairdresser!!!!
if you visit the same hairdresser all of the time he/she will give you great advice because they know you as a client, but being pregnant generally changes the rules. Often when pregnant at the time when you become really sick of your new body shape you will often opt for a change of hair to feel better, it usually results in one of those "hormonal" emotional melt downs, so NO good hairdresser would advise this. I would recommend a mix of auburn & blonde foils, perhaps a dark blonde & a lighter blonde, nothing to radical, to give you that slow progression towards going a little darker."

Which is basically what the hairdresser recommended too :) hehehe thanks Trish for the heads up!

So here are the results... 
(it's hard to get a good pic as the colour looks so different in different lights)

 
Not quite as auburn-y as I'd planned but quite a lot darker all over and the 'safety' of the blonde over the top.
  It's much closer to my natural colour so 'woo-hoo less regrowth!'

 29 weeks
 And here is a 'Baby B' bump update pic thrown in for good measure :)

So thanks again for the hair help! I wonder what Glen will think when he gets home :)

Have a great evening,

  9. The new hair looks just fabulous, and what brilliant advice to receive. The darker colour really suits you Janette. And the new nursery sounds perfect - I'm like you, and was also unable to resist redoing the room when my second daughter came along. Love the colour scheme. xx
