Getting trimmed up and going with a darker base and a few light hi-lites! Fortunately my Mom has had her own business in El Campo TX for 50yrs, find a stylist who cares more about your hair and rep than $$$ in her or his pocket! Summer is great for that lighter hair, darker tan and brighter clothes winter is harsh especially on your hair,, give it a break! My Mom would never color or perm my hair when she knew it could not handle it,when I was stubborn I'd go somewhere else and then went crying to her..... What could she do? CUT IT OFF! Congats Mom for being able to make people feel better for 50 yrs. Your the best
