Wedding hair color

I need help!!!!!!!! 😵‍💫😩😫😖😩😫😖😩😵‍💫

Somebody. Anybody. Please.

I’m naturally a super curly haired brunette. Wore my hair pastel pink for years and loved it but had to give it a break for the health of my hair. While dating my now fiancé, I decided I’d grow my hair as long and healthy as I could get it so that one day I could bleach it to an ethereal blonde for our wedding. I really wanted the softness of my coloring and the honey blonde to play off the soft dreamy, galadriel/ danaerys Targaryen feel I was going for as a bride and I spent 4 years taking care of my hair to get it to long and healthy for that specific purpose. But every person I’ve told my hair color plans to goes “oh but I LOVE your dark hair,” and the conversation ends there. Which bums me out in ways I have trouble explaining. I love my dark hair too.

My fiancé even has long dark troy palamalu-esque curls and I love our big dark wild hair together. I just also love the idea of embodying the softness of my features with blonde hair. No one else was on board with the pink until I did it and THEN they all loved it. Anyway, I went to get a color consultation with a friend of mine a couple months ago and left with the same “your hair is gorgeous - don’t you want something more classic?” She said we could take me blonder and it would be a process, but couldn’t fit me in until September (a month before the wedding)☠️ I left super disappointed and since I’m a bridal stylist, decided to do a few trials with myself to see if the styles I liked would translate well into dark hair. I think they did and I got used to the idea that maybe I’d need to let my vision go. Which felt better than trying to force something.

Fast forward to the other day, when that stylist messaged me asking if I could come into the salon this week to get started on my color transformation and I almost dropped my phone. But instead of the excitement I thought I’d feel, now I just feel conflicted. I don’t know what I want anymore, and that feels like letting past me down and like I’m letting the people who pooped on my dream win. Which sucks. Mightily.

Part of the reason I wants to lighten it at all was that all the women in my family start going white haired super early. Like I started at 17. And while I love my dark, I have thick patches of crazy wiry white hair that don’t always cooperate and I wanted to maybe add blonde go full storm/ princess kida from Atlantis and embrace it rather than dying the white hair dark. But now I don’t know. I know once my virgin hair color is gone I can’t get it back. It took a really long time to grow it out and get it all healthy again. But there’s something in my chest that sings when I see other girls who’ve had the courage or ENcouragement to chase their vision and get that beachy blonde. I have the same gut feeling that I did before I went pink that this would be a good move. That this could be beautiful. That this could be the beginning of a new season of myself and I should step into it. But I also feel like everyone I know might talk behind my back about it whenever I’m around and I don’t think I could handle that. The secret judgement in the future. The dismissiveness in the now. The “I listened to the first half of what YOU want and I don’t care to the listen to the rest so I’ll tell you that *I* think it’s pretty now and you shouldn’t be bothered about all your white hair because it doesn’t bother me.” And I’m just… idk. Stuck and worn out. I need some good friends and some help. I want to be authentic to myself, but I don’t know if that means being my natural hair color or staying true to my vision.

Me: huh

Roommate: What?

Me: Baby Luke is Brunette, but grown-up Luke is blonder, that’s opposite of how it usually goes.

Him: Well his planet has two suns, maybe they gave him more indoor chores when he was younger.

Me: But his hair stayed blonde on other planets once he was inside bases more and started wearing helmets around.

Him: Maybe he started dying it in his teens like that kid over at the hardware store, did you see?

Me: Yeah, looks nice.

Him: Yeah.

Me: So you think he’s a bottle blonde, that’s lot of dedication to keep touching up his roots all through the war …including when he was living in a swamp.

Him: I can just see him standing on one hand in the swamp levitating a bowl of bleach up to his head…. I don’t really know how hair dye works.

Me: Not quite like that, but we’ll allow it.

I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like the writers are trying too hard to make Cecile and Allegra, possibly CS too, more likable by writing them as if they were Iris. Like I know they are definitely not anything like Queen Flash, but it's the way they are given certain lines and put in Barry's face in certain scenes that I can't help but point to the TV and say, that feels like that should be Iris. In Star Labs, in the CCPD lab, and so on.

Have you noticed the other women have dyed their hair too? DP went blonder, but the other two have some shade of red. Maybe I'm reaching with this one, but everything eles is just weird to me.

I don't think that they're writing them to be more like Iris at all. I think they don't know what to do with these characters, so they're writing them any which way and shoehorning them into a bunch of different plots without really focusing on their personal characters arcs. Despite including more women as series regulars in these latter seasons, the show continues to mishandle the writing of Cecile, Allegra, and Caitlin. They want the viewers to perceive each of them in a certain way, without actually doing the work, in terms of writing them plots that would advance their character development.

That said, I don't think they are trying to write any of these characters to be more like Iris. I think it's impossible to do that, honestly.

Regarding hair color, lol, is Dani N.'s hair redder? I I didn't see a reddish tinge, although maybe I missed it. I was zoning out a lot during the episode. Kayla's hair still looked brunette to me. And DP always dyes her hair different shades of blonde each seasons, lmao.

Either way, Candice's hair is red this season, and that is meant for Iris, clearly. That's not the case with anyone else dyeing their hair.

Headcanons for bachelors/bachelorettes old hairstyles/colors, maybe when they were kids

HERE FOR THIS.

-A common headcanon for Seb is that he was a ginger as a kid, and I support that theory 110%. Although honestly, I could see him as more of a strawberry blonde growing up rather than straight-up red like Robin’s. I think he’d have started dying it literally the second he hit puberty–honestly emo kids are COMMITTED AF. He’s def been dying his hair black since he was, like, 13. 

-Maru’s lightish brown hair is natural. It’s been the same style since she came outta the womb tbh, and she’s never once changed it. The only thing she’s ever done is let it grow semi-long a few times over the years, only to cut it off to its usual length every time. Since she’s only half black, she didn’t inherit the coarse hair. She ended up with hair similar in texture to Robin’s (at least that’s how it looks to me from her portraits).

-Alex’s hair has stayed relatively stable over the years, but he didn’t know how to style it until a few years ago when he befriended Haley and she gave him some tips. Also he probably bleached and/or shaved it at some point in high school as part of a sports team thing because they always did shit like that as team bonding before big competitions and whatnot.

-Penny is a natural redhead, but she went blonde for a while because she was teased for being a ginger. Once she moved to Pelican Town with Pam, she stopped because she realized that nobody there would dare to make fun of her.

-Abigail has dyed her hair so many times over the years that nobody knows what her natural color really is. In reality, she grew up as a natural brunette, but as we all know, once she became an adult, the [SPOILER] wizard hair took over and she’s permanently purple now. She’s tried re-dying it black, red, pink, anything…but strangely, not a single color stays for longer than a day or two.

-Harvey’s hair was prob pretty normal for a while but he totes had his hair long (at least past his shoulders) when he was in college, at least as an undergrad. Once he went for his doctorate, he wanted to look professional so he’s kept it short since. After seeing Elliott, though, he secretly kicks himself for not letting it grow. It’s too late to get back into it now, though.

-Haley is a natural blonde but she bleaches it to make it blonder. She’s tried every product in the book but nothing makes her blonde enough except good old-fashioned bleach. She definitely participated in that hair trend of 2011-ish though, when everyone dyed a streak of their hair red, blue, or purple with hot kool-aid.

-Leah is a total hippie, as we all know, so there’s no way in hell she’s ever dyed her hair. Also she's been growing it since she was a girl and has only ever gotten it trimmed.

-Elliott...grew up with typical dude hair. He probably went to a private liberal arts college and, after being surrounded by unique people for so long, he decided he wanted to try something different. So he let it grow...and grow...and grow. The only way he knew he could pull it off is if he took really good care of it. He gets a lot of positive attention from people for it, and as an unapologetic attention whore (this isn’t an insult obviously, we all love him for being this way) he will never look back.

-Emily’s hair has been naturally blonde like Haley’s for most of her life, but she was tired of looking like everyone else and decided on a whim in her early 20′s to dye it a crazy color. She ended up loving the look and kept it ever since.

-Shane, before the depression hit him, loved hair gel a little too much (hello, faux hawk). After he came to live with Marnie, he stopped putting in effort because he didn't see any point if there was no one to impress. In my eyes...he’d gel his hair again when he started dating the farmer.

-Sam, in a similar vein, uses every hair product imaginable to give him the super saiyan look. He wore his hair that way once in high school on a dare and became popular for it so he kept wearing it, as an extended joke. After a while it just became habit and he considered it a crucial part of his identity. Also!! Before the spikes, he definitely flat ironed it every day to get that sweepy skater dude hair that was so common in the mid-2000s, lol. He’s probably experimented a few times with home hair dye kits as well, but we all know Sam, and we all know it never turned out.
