So I have recently been thinking about changing my look and doing something like this:
My hair is very short and not in great shape right now-- the longest bits of my hair come down to my shoulders. I dyed it blonde for years and I just naturally have very weak, fine hair (if my hair could handle it I would totally jump on the grey blonde bandwagon as I just love that super blonde look, but alas my hair cannot). I wear hair extensions every day and right now I have some highlights in my hair. Matching hair extensions has just become such a pain as I can't find ones that match the colour or the width of my highlights and my hair is so dark naturally that I'm still having to bleach it to get my beige/golden highlights, and I want to work on growing it out longer, which I think will mean I can't use any bleach at all. It's definitely healthier than when I was bleaching it all or even doing a full head of white blonde highlights, but there's still damage.
I'm thinking ombre might be a better option as I can just buy hair extensions that have the ombre in them and won't have to worry about bleaching my hair anymore? Since it's not very long and will be hidden with the extensions, I'm thinking as long as the very top of them matches my hair colour I'll be fine? I'm just worried I'll end up having to bleach the ends or something, so I'm wondering if anyone else does this with hair extensions and it works before I dye my hair and buy new extensions... I do feel like I might want my hair to be maybe a shade or two of a lighter brown since naturally I have dark, dark hair, but I'm not sure if dying it a couple shades lighter will continue to damage it? I've never done that before.
The other thing I'm nervous about is, while I'm sort of at a crossroads for what I'm going to pursue, if I want to go back to stripping or continue with vanilla work, I don't want to have any kind of 'crazy' hair that is going to look inappropriate in a very conservative office setting. I'm not sure if ombre has become totally mainstream or if it's still thought of as being kind of out there?
