It's no secret that I'm 75% gray/white. It's also no secret that I don't feel comfortable in my skin with me leaving it that way. I spent two years and money to strip out the dark and go back to the gray. I was fine with it for about a year. Being at a new school, I struggled to make friends. People don't want to talk to someone they can see their mother or grandmother in.
To be honest, I don't really blame them. During spring break last semester, I started coloring my hair again. I loved when I had the highlights when we were going through the stripping process, so that's what we went back to.
Fast forward to the new semester, and I don't have the time to go to my stylist, have her do my roots and come home. If I'm not in class, I'm working at the school. There is also homework, Alpha Xi, and a few other organizations that I'm in.
I know that black wasn't going to look good anymore. I'm too old to pull that off anymore. I had to have some things done with the color that would eventually get the shade of brown that I wanted, so initially, it was very dark. I have also had a lot of hair loss over the last few years and as it grows back in, it was starting to really show and it didn't look very good anymore. I took off 5". It's starting to lighten to a dark brown, and as time goes on, it will get just a bit lighter. I love the look so much. This will be much easier for me to touch up on my own in a pinch.
