I’ve begun to get a little overwhelmed by wedding planning. I’ve had a lingering sickness for almost a month now, and that isn’t helping the matter any. Being sick with something they’re not quite sure what leaves me feeling unbelievably discouraged. So, to make myself feel emotionally better, I’ve been pondering getting highlights.

If you can remember, I have very dark brown hair, with a slight purplish (is that a word?) tint to it in the sun.

I’ve had highlights off and on for the past 6 years, going from blonde to red to brown. My natural hair color is just so dark that it makes me look very washed out most of the time. After not having anything done to it for more than two years, I was inspired by an episode of True Life on MTV. And yes, that is very sad to say.

Anyway, there was a girl who had highlights like I used to have. And while the blonde is a little too young for me now, (I looked like Kelly Clarkson for a year or so, remember her American Idol hair?) I’m thinking of getting reddish or auburn highlights. I’ve had it done before and it’s not a huge difference, but it does look better, and I think a little cosmetic enhancement would help perk me up.

With the wedding eight months away, I figure now may be a good time to get them, and see if I like the look. If I do, I can do it for the wedding as well. For what it’s worth, they would be a thin version of highlights, not the chunky kind I had before.

While it’s not a drastic change, it IS a change. What do you think about changing the look of your hair (even slightly) for your wedding day? Is it too risky?
