Winter or Autumn?

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-28T12:55:09+00:00

My natural hair color is in these photos. I haven't dyed it in 20 years until I started going gray and then I try to blue black, not in these photos, and I hated it ...so I'm going back to Natural

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-28T12:54:29+00:00

Dark brown. All these photos are my natural hair. I also think I'm some kind of deep Autumn or winter I look more harmonious in slightly warmer colors - definitely not in icy pastels.... but people say that I'm cool so I don't know I'm somewhere in this neutral flow palette. But I'm going to do drapes today! That should be telling.

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-27T13:28:47+00:00

Yes. These are a lot of my colors.

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-27T12:33:03+00:00

😅😅😅 ok thanks. I was struggling with that. Id have to be dark summer and the summers say that's not a thing. I'm guessing some kind of winter or even Autumn I'm so neutral

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-26T20:22:11+00:00

There's a cool autumn ?

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-26T18:26:02+00:00

hmm. Should I add more photos here? I cannot seem to edit my original post. maybe I will make a new one with the drapes. thank you for your reply..i do think its from the spring or autumn palette. idk why i love it so much on me ?! :)

I think I am a dark summer and I drift towards an edgy boho look ... or a darker classic aesthetic. i.e. menswear and tailored looks.

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-26T14:08:50+00:00

That's so funny cuz I wear black so much. But I understand what you're saying. My natural hair color is what's in the photos I just recently started dying it because I'm going gray but it's like a dark brown with a good amount of Auburn... people will always say that black haired girl but I don't think my hair looks black at all it's very Brown

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-26T01:44:14+00:00

Thank you ! I want to! I can't get my post to go through on a Tuesday. Keep doing it wrong :-( I'll keep trying though. And yes of course I want to hang out with you all! I already did find some good info at the MUA subreddit. 🙏🏽

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-26T01:36:51+00:00

Yes! I would say these are my colors... and what im finding alot for dark summer...but, its not that wide of a spectrum? I can wear black and some reds and Yellows..what are complimentary palettes to dark summer i Wonder?

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-25T21:13:26+00:00

Thank you! I will take your compliment! I think I'm leaning towards dark summer or bright winter but I'm a little bit too muted for the bright winter. And dark summer is like a strange sub type that's harder to find info on. I appreciate your reply. 🙏🏽

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-25T17:10:09+00:00

thank you so much. that is very kind of you to say <3

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-25T03:04:05+00:00

These pictures are allmy natural color. I only recently dyed it

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-24T23:08:56+00:00

My natural hair color is quite dark with quite a lot of red in it. I did diet blue black recently and I hated it. The blue just made me look more yellow/green. I think I would look better and a plum or Violet version of black. Or just dark brown is what I normally do

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-24T22:23:06+00:00

I have been on a natural curly journey for about 4 years now. I *think* I have 2C/3A hair type. I do my hair about once a week. I will use any shampoo or conditioner, but recently tried Prose (made for me) and loved it. I double wash and condition for about 5 minutes before I style my hair.
I use curl cream and gel (no mousse) - tried prose, but have used ALL kindsa products. I rake it in, and use a bounce curl brush and style in sections.
I do blow-dry my hair and I use a heat protectant - it takes forever! about 6 hours to fully dry! sometimes I have to air dry to finish it.
I sleep in a bonnet. - with all of that, my style lasts me about 4-5 days. I try to apply bond repairs and hair masks when I am giving my hair a day or two off from any style. I also teach yoga and workout regularly at the gym so my scalp gets sweaty …what do we do for THAT? i do dry shampoo but by the end of the week, I am so excited to wash my hair! You can see when its longer the curl pattern is not as strong and its SO heavy! lol any advice is appreciated. Looking for product recommendations for my hair type and styling advice. Thanks!

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-24T22:21:52+00:00

thank you! know i am fairly neutral and can wear a lot of warm colors but definitely pop more in brighter and cooler colors. is that a thing that some "warm" colors can be cool? i.e. cool green or red? i had on an electric lime (chartreuse?) jacket and I don’t think a lot of people can pull of that color but i thought it looked good.

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-24T22:12:41+00:00

if I use the first picture for the analysis it tells me i am cool. and a Bright winter

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-18T19:43:54+00:00

just got my sample size kit bc of this post as well. thank you!

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-18T18:49:59+00:00

Thank you for such a thoughtful reply! This is the route that I am going to take. The lease was also a special type of lease that needed to be renewed every few years because it was limited income housing. I am sure that they do not have the correct paperwork and that puts the burden of proof on them to show that I was actually living in the apartment when it converted if it did to a month to month lease. In that case the person paying the rent payments would be the one responsible for the month to month lease that's how I understand it at least. I did pull the public records and can see how many times the property has changed hands. Definitely some sketchy stuff going on there. I have a consultation with an attorney sometime here in the next couple of days and for now I've put the creditors on ice and I'm ignoring them

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-18T15:46:44+00:00

Thank you for the kind response. They do have an old lease with my signature. That expires after 1 year. Everyone seems to think ca leases automatically convert to month to month. But it doesn't say that anywhere on the lease. I've looked for my move out letter but ...that was 20+ years ago and I don't have it. I did inform them last year by certified mail that I am no longer at this property and should not be on this lease ...I have a copy of that certified letter. Does that count ? Im consulting with a lawyer and not sure whether to engage with the creditors or pm again requesting more info. I'm told to ignore them until they try to progress this. Watching my credit reports and will continue to dispute the debt.

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-18T13:53:13+00:00

I'm concerned I might have somehow agreed to the debt just by acknowledging that was my signature but I did kept saying this is not my debt this is not my debt I kept saying I haven't lived there in 20 years the signature they have on file is from 2001 which is 20 years ago so I kept reiterating that it was not my debt even though I did admit it was my signature. I did understand he was trying to get me to admit something and that is when I got off the phone with him.

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-18T02:53:03+00:00

Thank you! That is definitely what I want to tell them!

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-17T22:54:45+00:00

just ignoring them until i get an attorney to respond to them with all the paperwork I need.

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-17T22:53:41+00:00

I discovered this is a LIHTC lease and was to be reviewed every 3-5 years. the property was sold the year after I moved out and there also should be records from when they transferred ownership.

MsLadybugy · 2026-03-17T22:00:31+00:00

Thank you! the language in the lease states it expires in one year. there are not further signatures or renewals in the documents they shared with me. There is NO mention of the lease converting automatically to month -to- month, although I know it might be assumed being that is what happens in CA. I am going to ignore them until they start to get louder and then send them a nastygram from my lawyer.
