Asian Blonde

A couple weeks ago, I stripped most of the pink out my hair, mostly because my ex-SO disliked it so much.



While is miss the pink, I'm really liking the blonde too. I even bleached my eyebrows so that they're more a brown instead of black/gray.

I always hear debates over if Asians can pull off blonde or not. Either yes, it looks nice and classy, no, it looks terrible, or no, looks trashy.

I do have my own opinions about Asians + blonde, and I've decided that blonde isn't really for everyone. Skin tone plays a big factor, as well as how you do makeup, your hair style, hair quality, and how you dress. Admittedly, I prefer white-blonde on more innocent, cute/pretty girls, or rocker-chick, as opposed to sexy or other girls who aren't "cute" (like, you can't be pretty, you have to be cute too). I dislike yellow, but hey, if it's your style, can't say anything about it. I don't think it has much to do with attitude, but how you execute it.

Blonde is also extremely difficult to deal with. I already need to bleach my roots, and my hair got so damaged that it requires pampering everyday. If you can't take care of it, then it gets nasty very quickly. I myself use deep conditioners, protein packs, and a violet shampoo to keep it a nice ashy blonde. Now it's soft and manageable. Bleachable, even.

I might want to keep this look a while. Most of my clothes are black, so the blonde softens everything and looks sort of pretty and young and dramatic. With white clothes, it looks really angelic. :D We'll see how it goes.

What are your opinions?

i actually entertained this idea for a while. but i need to keep my hair black for clover cosplay >_< (although it's sorta reddish from my highlighting a while ago...)

yeah, it's all about finding the RIGHT shade. i personally look horrible in ash blonde, but fabulous in platinum.
Yea, i decided to do the blonde since i had to bleach out the pink. My original intent was to do do light brown, but when I bleached it out, it was so light, I was like "what the hell". At first it turned silver. XD It was so cool!

I wanna try platinum. You think it'll look nice?
with your skin tone...iunno. i think you're a lot lighter than i am? i don't remember XD but the contrast might be too odd. i really like the way it is now, though.

try a wig first 8D *hands you mello wig*

Lol, if you keep it like this, you can do Death Note cosplay with me and Justin (but I don't wanna cut my hair...)
