Hi! I need some advice from the lovely ladies of beautylish!! I want to change my hair be aide I'm going through a divorce. Throughout my marriage my ex husband would only let me have my hair black! Well now that I'm done with that chapter of my life, I want a new look! But I don't know where to start. I'm open to any suggestions you may have! Thanks so much!

Jennifer, your work is amazing!! Thanks so much for your words and advice!! I'd be so scared to do my daughter's hair ( well future daughter, lol ) just because I suck at doing hair period lol I can already imagine the lopsided hairstyles haha

My best advice is to try on wig when making a drastic change! I had brown hair and went to red at 11, platinum blonde at 12, and black at 13(for 2 days). The most shocking surprise was the black hair even though it was the closest to my natural color! I hated it, and it was the hardest to get rid of, I wish I had tried on a wig when I made that change! So even smaller changes may be completely shocking and big changes may not be. I would also suggest going to a professional for lightening the hair and I would ask them at the consultation what they think will look best with your features and your skin and eye colors-they usually have great suggestions. Or even hold hair swatches up to your face to see how they work together. I think you can pull it off!

Go for it!! I too needed a big change this year and I finally decided to go blonde as well. It's a little difficult to say what kind of blonde will compliment your skin tone from the picture, but I'm sure a professional can definitely help you choose a blonde tone to fit you. I also highly suggest trying out different wigs as well to get a better impression before making the big change. There are also apps that you can download to edit the color of your hair in pictures. I think my biggest advice to you if you decide to go blonde is really prepare your hair for it!! Protein and moisturizing treatments will be your best friend!! I wish I had known that before I decided to go blonde lol. It's going to be a long process, but it is definitely worth it!! I'm sure whatever you choose, it'll look great!! You're so pretty!! Good luck with everything^^!

I agree with everything Jennifer said!! I too am also sorry to hear about your divorce. Even when it's something you want...it's still hard mentally. But you sound like you are ready to take on the world...congratulations on starting a new chapter in your life!
