The Dark Side

I have indeed gone over to the dark side. Last week I went from blonde to chocolate brown. Ok not really. The outcome I WANTED was a chocolate brown. The outcome I got was a reddish brown that was darker at the ends than at the roots. There's also a leftover blond streak in my bangs that looks like I left it there on purpose. I assure you here, I didn't.

I get a little upset when my hair doesn't turn out the way I want. Mostly because I don't want it to fall out, but also because I don't like it looking like shit crap. The color turnout wasn't the fault of doing it wrong, my hair simply took the color and ran with it. The result is a reddish brownish (and blonde streak) not found in nature.

I'm still getting used to it. Walking by a mirror I think "who is that?!" before realizing that it's me. My boyfriend thinks he's got a shiny new girlfriend as well! I'm going back to get some dark brown color today, to hopefully cover the red and the heinous blonde piece. The goal is to get an actual chocolate.

The whole idea for going dark was that the brown will eventually fade to the color of my roots, and then I won't have to color it as much. Also, the bleach I had been putting in my hair has been ravaging it, and I want to move away from that.

Pictures posted soon!
