Hey guys. It's been a while since I wrote one of these. But I just wanted to get some feelings out because I'm really excited and want to remember this.
Most of you, if you have been watching me for any length of time, know that I have blonde hair. The only other color I've experimented with is red or auburn. Today, that is going to change.
Currently, I have long layered blonde hair that goes a little bit more than halfway down my back. So, it's pretty long! I had bangs for a few years, but right now, they're long gone.
So here's what you can expect. Here's what I'm anticipating getting done in three anxiety/excitement-ridden hours. Bangs straight across, like in this photo:
With BLACK hair. Or at least very, very dark hair. With maybe a bluish tint, but probably only noticeable in the sun. My hair will be cut, but only to add more layers or take a couple inches off. So it will be a bit longer than in that photo, but the general style will be the same, hopefully.
But you have no idea how excited I am to finally have dark hair, to see how it looks on me! It's spontaneous and fun. And I'm getting it done by a professional, so it's not going to look half-assed.
I know you're probably thinking, "But Casper, you're so pale. Dark hair is only going to accentuate that trait on you!"
To which I reply, "GOOD! I love pale skin, dark hair, and light eyes!"
And even if I do this and end up hating it, at least I'll have done it in my youth and I'll know never to do it again in my life.
And you're probably also thinking, "But what about your other fair features? Like your blonde eyebrows and eyelashes? Aren't you worried that it will look silly?"
To which I respond, "That's what makeup is for." -OR- "That's what dye is for."
I'm hoping to dye them so I don't have to fill in my brows every day, but if it can't be done just yet, I'll have to use makeup to darken them. Plus apply mascara so my light lashes don't look so naked.
Anyway, here's a sneak peak from two Halloweens ago when I bought a black wig. If all goes well, I'll look like this permanently:
I'll have photos up hopefully around Thursday or Friday. Wish me luck and tell me not to chicken out.
