Blondes going Ravin/Black !
Yes... Pamela's new pic kinda inspired this post.
Just that... it isn't only her! :O
There is two other dancers that I know (work with or just know) who were blonde of some variety who have subsequently gone the same..... :O
I have to have a small :laughing: as alot of the blondes in my club are starting to go darker shades of blonde or just be done with blonde altogether.
Personally, I thought it had something to do with it is autumn going into winter right now here.... 'darker' time of year traditionally therefore people are going 'darker' with their hair colour ??
Okay... this is a totally useless post.. however I just wanted to mention it. :P ;D
Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !
No it's not useless. I have been going through alot of mags. and it seems alot of stars are doing this too. I don't know why this is happening, very very odd for me to do it and keep it this long. Lol.
I have a gf who just went very dark after being very blonde, and i was shocked!!! I think it changes who you are in a sense it's the quickest way to change a look and shoot out another "persona" to the world. Colour!
I have to get used to mine, i am struggling, but learning to wear it not as wild when i go out, because it looks like alot more hair now.
Again i feel different, i already had a man ask me my name while at the store and talk/smile with me, he seemed to see i look more approachable (sp, sorry to early for me here) The blonde my one guy friend said about me "bitch, stay away." The dark hair says" i am at ease with myself, and it's cool if you talk to me". Ya know what really inspired me to do this, really....I checked out a bikini contest, and 98% looked the same, it was strange, one female would walk off stage, and another would walk on with a different name....Lol. My friend says "wasn't she just up there'? I'm like yea they all look the same, it was an eye opener, even though they had shorter hair, i felt like i was that sea of bleach blondes, as i watched the crowd lose interest quickly, guys were standing around talking wiht each other after the first 4 girls or so. No loud cheering, IMO too much blonde.
Yep i needed a change!
Dunno.
But i feel different!

Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !
Damn Pamela you look good wit dark hair. Thats the first time I have seen your new avatar.
Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !
Black after blonde is not so strange...and this is a useful post! I dyed my hair black after messing it up with a bleach out kit. And some women just want a change, or to give their hair a "rest" after lightening it for a long time.
I recommend spending money on getting hi and low lights with black because it can look flat after a while. After repeated dyeing, dullness can be seen easily (opened hair cuticles.)
Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !
Well, I have been blonde since birth. EVeryone else in my family is brunette or some other color. Anyway I have been toying with going darker for years and after battling cancer for 3 years I finally decided to go for it. I am so glad I did !
Its actually very liberating to go that far from my normal color. I started out going a deep dark red and yesterday my colorist took me to a whole other level. Its not black but, its more of a super dark red with a little plum mixed in. I LOVE IT !

I just wanted to say how fucking HOT you look Pamela !! I am still trying to get used to my new color too :D. EVerytime I pass by a mirror I have to do a double take. I am going to MAC later to have one of the make-up artist help me find new colors.
Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !
ooooh Farrah that sounds sooooo good I've considered next time I color my hair doing it a burgundy with deep plum lowlights.
agree with madmaxines suggestions of highlights/lowlights. Or even just black lowlights otherwise yes the black does tend to go flat.
Pammy you look smashing! One of those girls that can rock any hair color!
Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !
I added a little pic to share with everyone
Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !
As many of you know, I was a platinum blonde since I was a little girl up until about 5 months ago when I colored my hair chocolate brown. I just wanted a change. Only 2 people told me that they liked my blond better. Now, I have chocolate brown with black lowlights. It looks awesome! :)
Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !
im a natural brunette, but been blonde for the past 3 years or so...dyed it back to my natural colour once....i HATED it, i looked munt :( lol and everyone told me it looked horrible-i cant believe i stuck with it for about 3 months before bleaching the hell out of it! lol that was 2 years ago, now i bleach it so much its all broken and falling out, but thats FAR better for me then to look how i did with brown.
just doesant aggree with me for some reason, the blonde actually seems more natural.
i LOVE chicks with jet black hair, and bright blue eyes.its SOOO damn hot!!!
word of warning, a lovely dancer i knew had beautiful long black hair,decided to go blonde to compete with the barbie's- her hair just munged it, and fell out in clumps,and broke to about 3-7inches.she was devostated,and never danced again from then on....
so be careful when going BACK to blonde later.
Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !
HOly Shit Pamela!!! You look great with dark hair!! I love it!!!
Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !
Hey, At least it's not just me. I went from blonde to black here recently because I got tired of looking like everyone else on the block. I had dark hair in high school and I missed it. I'm glad I changed it, it makes me feel more like myself. Plus my roots don't show so much! LOL Granted it's more of a personal feeling, but I too believe that people are getting tired of "typical blonde". Part of me still thinks that blonde says "sexy" while black says something else... Anyway here are some pics of my transition. All of them are about three months apart. I like 'em all, but who knows... in three more months it migh be different AGAIN!
Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !
I've been very impressed with how awesome some of the stars look with their new dark hair. I wish Christina A. would go back actually, it made her eyes REALLY stand out !
I think the reason some many bleach or bottle blondes are going dark is because they have stripped their hair too much with the chemicals and need to put some strength back into their locks. Putting a filler product in and then color makes brittle hair stronger.
BTW Pamela.... I think you look fabulous with that dark hair, maybe even better, if that is possible ;)
Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !
Thanks ladies! I don't think i look goth, but the colour sure does make the blue eyes stick out. I have gone darker yet tonite, the colour of the avatar, as that is the wig i bought first to see if i like dark on me, and i stick with it!!!!! :)
I do like it, but make-up seems to be a problem , as i have to keep it toned down for work at the hospital of course.
I am thinking of wearing a long side pony pulled over the right shoulder (i have a few bangs now) and wearing hoop earings. That is a TOTAL change for me, with a brown liner, and almost nude lips.
Gosh.....alot changes when you go dark from very blonde. Even certain clothes coloures look funny now. I have gone dark before, but it was a temp. rinse, and i did not give a shit, this is permanant. :O
I don't fit the blonde bimbo i often got at work (i could tell by the way i was treated) SO, this is going to be cool to put the people at the hospital job to the test.
Pamela :) Again, you all have been sooo supportive!
Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !

Try going to your favorite department store makeup counter and have your new colors done.
You look beautiful by the way. But you would look beautiful even bald as you are beautiful on the inside.

Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !
I absolutely love blond hair, but it doesn't look good on me. I love being brunette, but like to see others blond hair. Ha!

Re: Blondes going Ravin/Black !
Ha, I got my hair highlighted blonde today and we were discussing what to do next time. I was thinking of also going darker. My hairdresser laughed at me, "ha, we'll see how long that lasts!"
I look good with dark hair as well, but I love how everyone tells me I look just like a matryoshka (Russian doll) with the long blonde hair........
Some of those actresses need to go back to blonde. I think Zellweger and Sarah-Jessica look the best with the dark hair.......
