(my choice would be light golden blonde of course!!) hmm.. i have a few hair stories. once i went to get my hair dyed by a friend who was an apprentice hairdresser. it took about 6 hours, and instead of being the strawberry blonde i requested, it was grey. he became a chef shortly after. i still had to pay full price.

So when they say dark, they mean dark. (isn't 'dark' a funny word when you write it heaps?!) Dark chestnut is the colour I used and it was a little darker than my natural dark, dark, dark brown hair.

Bad hair story: for my mother's civil union earlier this year, the hairdresser decided to curl my hair with a GHD iron. The curls looked great ... for about ten minutes (and it wasn't even a particularly windy Wellington day!). We went back later for our makeup appointments, and they re-curled my hair, and wouldn't you know it, the curls just fell out again! My hair isn't hard to curl, and not to mention that the curling process hurt and yanked out a good handful of my hair. I was highly annoyed! Oh dear, another “dark chestnut” girl here!
