Knowing what you want

Sometimes it's hard to know what you really want. After I went from a redhead, back to a blonde, I decided that I really wanted to be blonde with red highlights like I was in 2009. What I wanted was to look something like this:


Or this:


I tried to convey this to my stylist, even bringing these pictures as a guide. She gave me something that looked like this:


For some reason, I thought it didn't look quite the same, though seeing the pictures comparitively, it looks pretty similar. But this time when I went back to get my hair done, I told her that I still wanted to be blonde, but I wanted a little more red in it. She did exactly as I asked, but it wasn't what I thought I wanted.

I haven't posted a picture of it here, because I'm still getting used to it. I don't hate it, but I'm not too sure I like it either. To me, it looks a little like someone painted stripes in my hair. However, I have been getting compliment after compliment on it, so I guess other people really LOVE it.

Mr. Wright even said, "Wow, that looks cool. That's the best you've had it in a while." (Hmm, that sort of sounds like a back-handed compliment, but he didn't mean it that way.)
