Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, who’s that? That’s the bizarre sensation I’m having right now. I finally dealt with my regrowth last night so now have a new half-head of cream and honey highlights. And while it’s the most beautiful colouring work – Christine at Sydney’s Valonz is just genius – for the first time in my life, I don’t feel blonde and I don’t think it looks right.

So it makes me wonder, maybe it’s true that blonde is more a personality thing. I’m usually all for matching your haircolour to your skintone. But some girls are happiest blonde – even when it really doesn’t suit their features. I don’t actually think brunette would suit my skin, but I can’t help feeling I need to give it a go at my next haircolour session. And I just saw this Sarah Jessica Parker pic, snapped from the set of the Sex & the City film. If Carrie can do it – it might just be a sign. Patterned over-the-knee socks optional. There are some things in life that only a Carrie can pull off.
