Going blonde..some concerns.

[Tenoch]

I've basically went back and forth from a bic (razor shaved) head to a longer, messy spike for the past few years. Did lighter highlights once but that's about it for variety. I've been thinking about going completely blonde, like platinum, as soon as my hair is longer, for a while now. I'd like something that is long enough to look good worn down but can also be spiked up and not look like Wade from that B2k movie. My concern is what do people do with their eyebrows? Seems like there would be way too much of a contrast. Also I don't want to look like a Ryan Cabrera clone. I've included a somewhat recent pics of myself in case they will help anyone offer some advice.

P.S Zathans plus Guess breaker a good combo?

EDIT: Oh and just so everybody knows..I don't walk around with a popped collar because I think it's very lame. It just came up while I was putting it on.

Let me give you some advise on going blonde...(white) I do it every year. Looks nice in the summer months. I looked at your picture. Your hair is very dark , much like myself. It's not as easy for those of us with darker hair.
It takes me two day to go completly white (platinum). That's with a Redkin color specialist doing it. First time around I sit with bleach on my hair for over an hour. Once it begins to burn your scalp, it's time to come off. At that time I'm kind of yellow. I go back the next day for another bleaching, by then my scalp is real tender, so it won't be on as long. I do get very white. But I have to keep it short because the ends will not turn completly white. Since my hair grows so fast, I have to go in every three weeks in order to keep the roots from showing to much. Thats means more bleach. I never do the brows, the sun naturally lightens mine.
Just something for you to think about. ......

See..my hair really isn't that that dark..it's more of a mid brown..although in retrospect it looks a lot darker in that picture. It's been my experience from seeing women that dye their hair blonde that it doesn't look good when they have very dark features. But I've got green eyes so I don't think that would be a factor. I also had an Italian pal who had black hair that one day showed up with very bright blonde hair and he looked ridiculous. That's what I'm trying to avoid. Also..I've been tanning for a good while and my eyebrows haven't changed shades at all. I guess it comes down to I'm wanting to try something but I'm worried about it looking like an abomination when I'm done.

I wouldn't bleach... you'd get laughed at around here... but if chicks dig it round your parts *(assuming that's your goal) then go for it.

Bleached blonde hair never looks good. The only guys that pull it off, do so because their good looks make up for their hair. It either looks terribly gay, or just plain terrible.

Hey Man, remember it's only hair. If you dont like the way it looks, you can always dye it a darker color..it's that simple. Who cares what people think..when I do mine, everyone calls me Eminem...... not sure if he would like that or not...LOL

Like I said..it's only hair....

in the end you'll be happier with your natural color. but i guess the grass is always greener on the other side.

tanning in a tanning bed? I don't think that lightens body hair as opposed to actual sunlight

Hey well I just made an appointment with the trendiest place I know of in the area. A regular haircut is $45 bucks..I've only been there once. I'll post pics of the results on Thursday assuming it doesn't look really bad.
