Chocolate Covered Cherries are my Favorite

My hair gets dyed a lot. A lot-lot. I started dying my hair in 8th grade, mostly highlights. Ever since then, i've been just about every shade I can be, from blonde to black, including blue, green, and pink. My favorite color to dye my hair is red. Any combonation of red. Red, blood red, soft red, red and black, red and blonde.

Two years ago, it finally came to the point where I just couldn't die my hair anymore. It was so severly damaged, it turned to straw and started to fall out. So, I quit. My new policy is once a year.

Jen, on the other hand, has just realized she can dye her hair, and she's having a blast with it.

On Wed., we dyed it light brown. On Thurs., we went ahead and bleached it to a Wilma Flintstone orange. (Her hair was soooo dark, the color we choose never shows up. So, we lightened it, to make it stick.) And finally, at 5am Friday morning, I finished it off at chocolate-covered cherry. It's dark brown with an underlying shimmer of red. Like, so red it's almost purply-magenta.

It's awesome.

I wanna dye my hair again.

I dye my hair pretty frequently and have for years. Nothing like a $6 bottle of dye from the supermarket to perk up a down day!!

I dyed it recently to try and blend with my roots to try to break the cycle but I am already bored. Time for a trip to the hair care aisle!!
