Hair Conscious

OK so you all know that I am a natural blonde. Never dyed my hair. I prided myself on such healthy natural hair. Yup, until this summer when I got the "bright" idea to go dark. Why do I have to be so spontaneous and try new things that are permanent? I keep asking myself this question. Well I get bored. As an artist we like change.

Natural

Dye Job #1

After a couple of months I got bored again and decided (at the last minute) that I wanted to go back to blonde. So I went back to the hairdresser the day before we left California and he stripped my hair and tried to go back. Well it didn't really work. I hated it. It just isn't a good color for my complexion.

Attempt #1 to go back to natural

When I got here I browsed the hair dye section of the local supermarket. With the help of two knowledgeable woman and one translator we devised a plan. I tried it out on a hidden section of my hair and it turned out ok. Well then I tried my whole head.....dying your own hair is HARD and tedious.

Here's where I toned it. I guess I need to try a darker color. Anyhow, Jared's pretty excited about it and I don't feel like dealing with it until next week. I'm digging it for a while. I promise I'm not trying to look like you Amanda (the ultimate and best looking platinum blonde.)

The story is not over. It will be continued. I thought about resorting to shaving my head but then thought, winter is coming and that might be too cold. I would appreciate any of your dye horror stories and moral support.
