Well, a tiny, insignificant one, at least - I'm touching up my roots with semi-permanent colour, no more permanent black hair dye for me. It's still a two component colour, so I'm not sure if it will make much of a difference, but I hope that it will make the process easier if/when I decide to go blonde.
Strictly speaking I can't do it before grandma dies, though. It's childish and stupid, but she would be so disgustingly smug and self-congratulatory if she saw me go back to blonde that I just can't face it. We have rubbed one another the wrong way since I was in kindergarten - there's this story about how I wanted to help grandpa dig up potatoes wearing a new skirt when I was five or so (some things never change, fun + pretty clothes = fun²), we got into an argument and it got so out of hand that grandpa intervened and told her to back off and let me get dirty. I must have been a horrible brat, of course, but our relationship is only slightly more civilized nowadays.

When I went blond I had naturally dark hair (dark brown) and some lighter higlights, but not dyed black. So it was really easy to became a blond girl ;) Now I decided to stick to dark / black, but I have some blond wigs for parties and "special occasions" ;))
When it comes to short blond hair I like Kate Lanphear's hairstyle.
Ohh..I also have a great pic of blond hairstyle that you may like, just need to look for it at my harddrive. :)

Did you bleach it yourself, or have it done professionally?
That's a nice one. I'm thinking about going for a short pageboy kind of cut, sort of like this (http://hem.bredband.net/pimpinett/stil/classicpageboy.jpg), but much shorter and not as angled backwards. An angled bob is tempting too, but I've done that to death, even if it was a long time ago. I'm aiming for something more like this effect (http://hem.bredband.net/pimpinett/stil/blond2.jpg), I think. I will definitely be looking into hairpieces, too, half the point of going blonde is doing Heidi braids. :)

She just looks perfect with that.
I bleached my hair myself. I even didn't use any bleach before, just very light blond hair dye, and it looked great. The shade was a bit darker than the pic on the box but looked very natural. The more I dyed them myself the worse they looked though ;) So I guess you can call it beginner's luck ;)

Not sure how I will go about it - I think I'll go to my old hair stylist, she knows my hair, even though I haven't had it cut professionally in years. I want to get it as close as possible to my own colour - whatever that is, these days. It used to look kind of like this (http://hem.bredband.net/pimpinett/stil/blond3.jpg), both colour and texture, but it might be darker now and I may have some grey hairs, too.
