So you know how I've had black hair for a while now? Well, I decided it was time for a change, so I tried to lighten it. Yeah, no go. So I tried a dye made especially for people with black hair. It made my hair a tiny bit lighter. And turned my roots strawberry blonde. That's not good. So I decided that rather than continue to ruin my hair some more, maybe I should just go pay (or let Lawrence pay) a professional. So I call my girl, and she tells me that it all depends so come on in. She tells me that the first step is to do a bleach wash and see what happens. The thing is that lots of black dyes use blue or green as a base, and the blue or green will not come out. So you put the bleach wash on because it's far less damaging than regular bleaching, and you watch it. If the hair starts turning blue or green than you wash it and the hope is gone. You just have to dye it black again and wait for it to grow out. If it doesn't turn blue or green, you wash it when it gets to a shade you can work with. She also told me she could do the bleach wash that day, but she couldn't do anything else that day (due to other appointments), so I would have to make a future appointment when she has more time to finish the job. She told me I could do it at home if I want to because the journey we were about to embark on was going to be pretty pricey, and she does not guarantee the results. But, fearing baldness, I decided to take my chances with her.
So on goes the bleach wash and I read my book while waiting to see what kind of freak I was going to look like at the end of the process. It amused me some that she put on these big thick industrial rubber gloves to put this goop on my hair and, by extension, my scalp. I asked if she forgot her hazmat suit. At the end, my hair was not blue or green, but it is does have several different shades. Overall, it's kind of auburn, which is quite nice. I tried to take pictures so you could see it, but they turned out really dark and you wouldn't be able to see the color in them. I haven't had time to take more and I know that you couldn't wait for my post. I know how it is!
So now I have to decide what color I want to aim for when my next appointment comes in a week. So I want your opinion. Should I aim for red, auburn, or brown? Brown is my natural color, which I was originally going for, but now that it's already reddish, I figure, what the hell? So what do you think? Rock the vote people!

PS-Lawrence like the auburn that it is now, but claims that he loves me however I look(Except for blonde, he doesn't think I should go blonde.), because he loves what's on the inside. Gack. What twaddle. :)
lol@twaddle. i say red. red red red red red red red red red red red red. did say i red? red heads are hotttt! in my opinion. ahem. sorry
Wait, Cainnum, do you think I should go red? I really can't read you sometimes. Joe says I should go with a darker auburn because "I'm too pasty for light hair." Including red. PASTY! How rude!
I don't think you should go for a "red" red....you know like Sis Hutchens in church, although that would be interesting...and may be cool with your pale skin and green eyes...okay now I'm torn. I was going to say definately auburn or brown, but maybe red could work...hmmm. Then again, maybe you'd look like Bozo the clown...or hot. One or the other. So in conclusion...I don't know. Of course if you go auburn I'll have to dye my hair so that we won't be twins. ;)
PS- your hair as is is the same color as my sisters, who just happens to be the bride in my profile pic. Her hair is much longer now though...not that you can tell the color really when you see the full-size picture, but maybe it could give people an idea. Also she is the same height as you. hmmmm..coincidence? I think not!
I've changed my mind. I want to vote for brown now!...rich chestnut brown, not sandy hair-color brown. :)
I see. You just don't like me stepping on your auburn toes! You like to keep the spotlight for yourself! :)
Go RED!!!
Redheads have more fun, I promise!!!
It's true that red heads have more fun! I've been a red head before, and it really is strange how differently people treat you. But did I mention that my boyfriend's ex-wife is a natural red head? I dunno. I feel like it would be a little creepy for me to dye my hair red. He says it wouldn't be because there's lots of red heads in the world besides his ex, but I dunno.
