Hair

I was looking at my hair the other day and realized that it was ever-so-slightly, a different color on the bottom half than the top.

You see, I did dye my hair for a while a couple years ago, just for fun. As the wedding approached, I had to fix it. I went to one hair salon where they just dyed over my dye job. The result was that my roots showed very clearly when my hair grew out and my hair would still fade to a color lighter than what it should have been. So I went to a different salon where the stylist (good naturedly) lectured me about dying my hair from a box, stripped the old color, and dyed over my hair with semi-permanent dye. The result was that my hair would fade, but without leaving a distinct line. So she used the semi-permanent dye a few more times and my hair looked normal for my wedding.

Months later, I still think she did a great job, because it really wasn't that obvious that my hair wasn't all the same color. But the dyed hair was never going to be exactly the right color without repeat treatments of the semi-permanent dye.

I opted for cutting off the discolored hair.
















Of course, your hair always looks great the day you get it cut. What my hair will look like when I have to style it myself remains to be seen.
