Well...i did it...kind of. I made the first step and dyed it back to its original colour (dark blonde bordering on brown). I've had it on for about 6 hours now and i'm still not getting used to it...to tell you the truth i HATE it. I'm not sure if it's the colour (which let's face it is uber dull) or the fact that it is so much darker than normal. Hmm. I thought i wanted to make the first step to take it to a lovely dark brown...but right now i'm just relieved i put on a non-permanent colour instead. I look like me but in a wig. It's not good!
I showed my dad, who actually didn't even noticed i'd dyed it at first before saying "it doesn't even look like you...but i like it" (thanks dad), then i walked to my mums and showed her, she said; "I thought you were going to go brown? It's a bit of a 'nothing' colour..."....yeah, thanks mum, i realised this...that's why i dyed my hair really blonde in the first place! Nightmare...i took a photo and sent it to the boyfriend who replied; "if you really don't like it baby then just dye it back!"...notice he said absolutely nothing about the colour!
Oh well, all i know is that i can't handle it right now...i thought i wanted change but now i just want to retreat back to safety very quickly (which is why i went straight back out and bought my 'natural baby blonde' colour). I think if my hair was a good 5 inches longer it might suit...that or if i didn't have a fringe (which isn't really possible with me because i frown a lot and at 21 i already have an epic amount of frown lines there!).
Nevermind, test over...definitely not ready for change!

This was a cute post, its exactly what we all go through after a bad hair dye. I never used to care about my hair color until one time i dyed it trying to refresh the color and it turned out darker and dull and i was crushed. Its just, some things just fit and you think you need change til you realize wanting the change is change enough- you dont need it on the outside.
ReplyDeleteYeah you're exactly right! Once I'd done it I wondered why the thought crossed my mind in the first place! I think I know what change I really would like to make but because that seems so far off right now I'm having to try and satisfy this need elsewhere...and it's not working!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog! Okay, so I have brown hair (originally) and had dyed it blonde after which, I dyed it black, red, blonde again, brown, etc. For me to really like a color, it has to be a major/dramatic change. I don't know why. Right now, my hair is a deep dark brown...very shiny. I love it!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, go back to blonde-typically family members are very honest. And when the urge arises, change it drastically (but only if you're like me!)
Hehe, yeah i haven't been writing this for very long!
ReplyDeleteYou're right too, i'm definitely keeping it blonde (although it is less blonde than it was...i would like to go back to uber blonde but my lovely mother says i look like a prostitute with it...haha! If i still feel this way i'm going to do it though).
Next time i am definitely just going straight in at the deep end!
