No Artificial Coloring

On Saturday I decided that I was giving myself a day of beauty and treating myself to a few things. I got a facial, a manicure and a pedicure. Then I thought it would be an awesome idea to get highlights in my hair for the summer. Since i'm going on vacation, I thought they would look nice in the sun.

Possibly J takes me to the salon where the hairstylist proceeds to ask me what kind of color i wanted which should have given me my first clue. I mean common what do I know about hair coloring. So then I tell her, just highlights, nothing too blonde. Mistake number 1. Now mind you, I don't have much highlighting experience so I'm not sure what is supposed to be going on. Next thing I know my hair is bleached and I'm scared. In the end my hair comes out blonder than I wanted but is aid to myself, maybe I'll get used to it. Ha! I spent 2 days dwelling on the fact that I was blonde and I hated it. I hated it so much that I missed work today to get my hair fixed. I went back to the same salon and told the lady that I couldn't take it and i wanted my hair darker.Mistake number 2. I came out a red hed. I called Magpie and I called my mom, both of which had their own take on the issue. My mom called her stylist which said it was ok for me to cover the whole thing up with yet more dye, which I did, and now my hair is black. Usually I have dark brown hair but black is good.

Moral of the story, don't fix it if it ain't broken, and nature got it right the first time. I like myself just fine all natural, without added coloring.

Sorry it didn't turn out the way you wanted it. I thought it looked nice but ultimately you have the final say.
