Hair as yellow as corn

You might recall that a few months back I decided I needed a change in hair color. When I asked my current director if she'd prefer me as a redhead or blonde, she asked what I wanted to do. I didn't know, so she said, "How about strawberry-blonde?"

It wasn't until after she said it I knew I really wanted to be blonde again. So, I made an appointment, and finally, FINALLY, yesterday I had the red stripped out of my hair.

We did the treatment twice, and it wouldn't come completely out, but my hair was definitely blonder again! It did turn out strawberry-blonde, and we put blonde and red highlights in the 3 inches of regrowth.

I admit, I'm a little disappointed in the way it turned out. I've always been proud of the fact I'm a natural blonde, and I thought it was cool I looked like a natural redhead. But I feel like the color now doesn't look natural -- it looks like I dyed it and I LOATHE that! I want to love it, but I don't right now.

However, the director likes it, as do my other castmembers. That's comforting.

I guess I need to give myself some time to get used to it. Maybe after I wash it and style it the way I normally do... it's likely it'll take as much time to get used to being blonde again as it did after I dyed it red. So, about two months, at which point it'll be time to get a touch-up. I do want to get the red out next time if I can.

I think I need this today:

It tickles me that this little girl has hair like mine.

"I like my hair! I like my haircuts!"

Yes, the blonde is a little boring, but it was so much a part of my identity for so long. It's nice to have it back.

My eyebrows look so much darker now!
