Highlights or no highlights?

HMMMMM! What color should I choose?


So, I'm getting highlights......maybe...I don't know

I am a little bit concerned and fearful because I have heard too many horror stories about how hair color can damage your hair, how it can look unprofessional, that people have spent so much money only to dye it back to the color that they had before, and other things. I have heard it all, seen the ugly truth on YouTube, and have actually been through it myself. Even though I am going to a professional (Natural Alternatives Hair Salon), I am still a bit scared.

Now, I'm feeling I should just keep my natural hair color...but I wouldn't mind a bit of blonde or bronze here and there to bring in the season. When I was relaxed, my hair was plum and bronze and I have also had blonde and reds, but with natural hair...I have never had a professional color. I did color my hair when I was natural last time, and it was orange (Picture below). I refuse to do any self experimentation ever again.

Yes, I did not know what I was doing.

Here are my hangups? I am in a professional field and am afraid that my hair will distract. I am already standing out by having natural hair, so I don't want to stand out more with a color that seems to not fit me. I am also concerned that I may not like it. I trust my stylist, but I don't trust myself. I am known to buy dye with a quickness if I don't like something.

So, what color should I get? A red? Burgundy? Bronze? Should I just leave it alone. I have until April 17th, to decide. I wonder if many other natural go through this anxiety? I guess, I'm afraid of messing up all my hard work.


Sigh...Decisions Decision
