Change! I love change! After giving up highlighting my hair for Bye Bye Beehive back in 2011, I thought it was time to go "back to my roots," (figuratively, of course) and put a little bit of blonde back in my life. Of my 27 years, I've been blonde for 25 of them—you can see the evolution of my hair's many colors here—so most people know me best as a blonde. In fact, each time I talk to Nanny (my grandma), she asks me if I'm back to blonde yet. I'm fairly certain I made her day when I emailed her a photo of my updated 'do.
I haven't highlighted my hair since May of 2011, and after that I let it grow out to a natural ombre until I dyed it brunette in March of 2013. I haven't touched it since April 2013... the dark brunette faded & grew out and I was more or less at my hair's natural dark (dirty) blonde state until now. I'm not sure where it will go from here (I have a tentative appointment to go blonder next month)... but it's fun to play with it. Hair is hair, right?
If you're in the Boise area and looking for a stylist, I go to Kendall at Roots Salon. I'm happy to give you her number if you'd like to book an appointment!
P.S. This is the best before & after I could muster—you've gotta love the iPhone selfie shot!

I love this! (and you!) I am so glad your back on my feed :)
Absolutely beautiful!
Love it! Looks great on you! I've never dyed my hair before, I want to do it at some point but I can't decide what color. :)
Gorgeous!!
I love it! I (being a natural blonde) have a love for blonde hair and definitely think you wear it well.
Btw, I had asked about your BBB challenge months back and am proud to say that I am on my fifth month and have only used heat once (for graduation pics). My hair is great and healthy and growing rapidly. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration!
It looks really great!
And hair is hair!
I have been growing out the dye for about 2 years now.. and a few months back, I finally got a professional haircut (Klay had been trimming my hair for the past 3 years)... and now, it's all one color, and natural... and it's MAKING ME WANT TO DYE IT AGAIN!!!! Achk!
Maybe after the wedding! ;)
Speaking of which, you never let me know if you guys received the invite or not. Email me lady!!
LOVE the blonde Aunie. I find I go blonder in the summer and then darken it in the fall. Right now, I've got my top layer a little darker and then blonder underneath, that way, depending on how I pull my hair, I look blonder or darker. :)
Yay... I love your hair! Twinners!
It's nice to be back... thanks Colleen :)
Never ever ever?! I thought going on 3-years was a long time. But you've gotten me beat. You're amazing!
SO PROUD OF YOU!! Wonderful job, Laina :)
Oh, I bet it's so healthy!! Don't do anything until after the wedding. And I apologize! I keep forgetting to stop by the PO Box. I'll do that!!
I love versatile hair. Way to go, Shannon :)
Yeah I went to a new stylist and they were super shocked that I had "virgin hair" haha.
That's amazing. I want to tell you to hold onto it for as long as possible... it's just something you don't hear about too often these days. But hey, I'm always an advocate for change--so do what makes you happy!
Love it! A part of me kind of wants to go blonde blonde...but I'm nervous to do it...
Embrace change :) that would be so fun!
Oh, I love the blonde for summer! I just went back to red after doing highlights and lowlights earlier this year. Also, your hair is growing so fast! It looks so good at that length!
Thanks Laura! I like it this length, too... very easy to do whatever. I LOVE yours red. Oh--and PS just had to refollow you. For whatever reason your blog feed changed (I think) and bloglovin hadn't updated me about it. So I re-followed to get back on the Laura Way program :)
it was being a butt on bloglovin! And when I moved over to WP, it just didn't make the transfer. this'll be the last one, i promise!
Yeah, that's one reason I keep going back and forth on it! :)
I love your hair, Aunie. It looks so good on you.
