Going from highlights to all over blonde

[Deleted]

I am still craving a change with my hair, so next week, instead of getting my usual heavy highlight, I am going to do all over blonde. BUT, I am nervous I am going to look like a stripper with over processed hair lol. 

I have light hair naturally, so I am not worried about regrowth, and according to my hair girl, the maintenance will be cheaper than the heavy highlights I get every 8 weeks and the smudging I get at week 4.

Here is a picture of my hair now... (picture was taken over the weekend.  8 weeks ago I got a heavy highlight and had lowlights added thinking that little bit of change would appease me)

I am kind of thinking this...

Yes? No?  Or any other suggestions on a lighter ashy all over blonde color?

I love it the way it is. I understand wanting a change though and you could definitely pull off the lighter look. The woman in the picture and you kind of look a like!

Do it! Its just hair! You can always change it back again!

Yeah, I guess if people start waving dollars my way I'll take the money (after earning it of course lol) and go get some low lights lol.

on one hand, i love your hair now, its a beautiful blonde and i think the blending of high/low lights really adds depth. on the other hand you could absolutely pull off the full blonde, and you can always change it back if you dont like it. so i say go for it!

So are you talking like an icy, platinum blonde? I think that color tends to looks less stripper-ish with a shorter cut.

Do it! I have done blonde highlights for 15 years, and went full platinum bleach about two years ago. I loved the change, and the all-over blondness. I was totally channeling my inner Gwen Stefani and I loved it.

My eyebrows were light enough to pull it off, but my natural hair color is a dishwater blonde so I was definitely due for a touch up every 7 weeks or so. Highlights do last "longer" in that I think the regrowth is camouflaged more.

Ultimately, after a year and a half I gave up the bleach so my hair could "rest" because it did get a bit fried. I do plan on bleaching again in the future though.

Communicate to your stylist that you want a pretty shade, and don't want to look like a stripper. She should be able to help you get a good color, and I also found a purple Wella shampoo once a week and Pureology the rest of the time really helped me.

I like the second pic with the low lights in it. It gives it some depth. I don't like the 3rd pic with one solid color.

Maybe i'm blind but from IG and your OOTD pics I always thought you were light blonde all over. lol Like in the pics you posted, I guess I didn't realize it was just a heavy highlight. So my two cents would be that it wouldn't be a huge drastic change and therefore, go for it

For every one person that all over bleach looks good one there are ten that look terrible. That being said, I think you could pull it off! Do it

I get heavy foils and I can't ever get my hair that blonde! I just assumed you always got an all over color. I think with your coloring you could really pull off a an all over blonde look but agree with the suggestion that it looks a little classier with a shorter cut for some reason.
