And... my 2-year long no-coloring-my-hair streak is over—I'm officially a brunette!

You may remember a year ago when Daniel wrote his one (and only) post on this blog, and showed you a photo of me with brunette hair. Let's just say that since he stumbled upon that photo, he's been asking me with big puppy-dog eyes to go darker, and finally—I did it—though I let him pick the color... if I'm gonna do it, you bet I'm gonna do it right!

Of the 26 years I've been around, only about 1 of them has been enjoyed as a brunette (I've gone dark 3-times before... 3 short times), so here we go...here's to new hair! If you're wondering about my natural color—it's the top left photo's roots! I believe it's a light brown, though my mom calls it dishwater blonde. Bye bye blondie!

PS // I'm a dork and accidentally deleted this original post, deleting all your sweet, sweet comments. If you commented, thank you so much. I got to read each one, but now of course—they're gone. Anyway, thanks again for all the love ♥

OH. MY. GOSH. Aunie! You look amazing as a brunette!! Obviously you were always gorgeous as a blonde too, but this really looks fantastic!! How exciting, are you loving the change so far? I use to be a blonde (my natural) and then went dark, at first I felt a little gothic - but then when you do any lighter again, it feels SO light. Seeing this has made me want to go a little darker again!


Hope you enjoy your week as a new brunette!

Oh my word. This is THE PERFECT COLOR for you! You really know what suits you and it looks incredible!

Julie said...

You are absolutely gorgeous with either color! But the dark looks so amazing on you! You're making me want to dye my hair now!

Brooke Houston said...

I LOVE the new brown color. It makes your hair look so healthy . It's a very pretty shade of brown too. Almost make me want to try it ;)

MacKensie said...

You look absolutely gorgeous. :)

Jennifer said...

Aw. I love that you changed it because Daniel wanted you to and not because you felt like it! That's so sweet!! And girl you look gorgeous as a brunette! Love it!

Vicki Gonzalez said...

LOVE it! You look so great :)

Erin Menchhofer said...

Your skin tone is so warm with the brunette! Daniel picked a great color!

Amy McGrath said...

I don't like non natural hair coloring unless someone is old.

it looks so good!

Kristen @ KV Confessions said...

LOVEEE the dark on you!

Annelise @ Aunie Sauce said...

Aw thanks so much! I can't imagine you with dark hair... no wait, yes I can. I think your tan skin looks great with your color, but you'd be beautiful in ANYTHING. Oh, and yes, I'm LOVING the change!

Annelise @ Aunie Sauce said...

Aw thanks Chelsea! Two thumbs up to my stylist!

Annelise @ Aunie Sauce said...

You know, he doesn't ask for much, so when he asked for this (and asked and asked and asked) I finally said OK SWEETIE! He loves it, so I do too! :) I wouldn't say I'm a pushover, but once in a while you've gotta give a little :)

Annelise @ Aunie Sauce said...

He sure did! Thanks Erin :) He knows his stuff!

Annelise @ Aunie Sauce said...

Hehe. See, I'm actually the opposite. When my hair begins to gray (I say this now), I plan on letting it be natural. I think that natural gray and white hair is so beautiful! Thanks so much for your comment, Amy :) Hope all is well!

Daniel knew what he was talking about when he talked you into it. So perfect. Absolutely gorgeous.

Annelise @ Aunie Sauce said...

Aw thanks so much, Michele! He picked two photos that he wanted it to look like, a cross between a super-dark Ashley Greene and some other dark brunette. It turned out to be a great mix!
