My Hair Dilemma

I have a lot of hair that's gone through a lot of changes.

That little collage? Only a snapshot. I've had my hair so short I couldn't put it into a ponytail, and so long and curly it was halfway down my back in full ringlets. In the past seven years or so, I've dyed it a lot too; I was in love with this dark, dark brown shade for a long time and I tried the redhead thing but it just went orange. I had pink hair for awhile and miss it every day. I style it and straighten it and change it up almost as much as I change my makeup look.

My hair is pretty important to me.

Lately, though, I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. Maybe it's because I work with two licensed hairdressers and a girl studying hair but it's been awhile since I've done anything fun with my hair. The pink was months ago and I haven't done anything to it since then except trim my bangs, so I think it's time for a change - but that's where the problem lies. 

I'm overprotective of my hair. I go and get it cut and immediately regret it for at least a week because it takes some getting used to; if I get it cut really short I regret it a lot longer because I miss being able to do things with it. I've used Prell on my freshly dyed hair several times because I've missed the natural color. My hair, as weird as this may sound, is one of my best assets and I don't like to mess with it too much - until times like now, when I get bored.

I've talked a lot about this dilemma I have with my hairdresser coworkers. They like the idea of dark (which I'm seriously considering) or a little bit of pink and they love the idea of the ombre that I've been itching for, but! I am terrified. I want to take the plunge. Trust me. I am so... Not sick of my natural hair color, but yeah I'm sick of it. I'm sick of blonde. Blondes don't always have more fun!!!

Hopefully soon I'll do something about it, even if I grab a box of dye from under my sink and slap it on (to the dismay of the girls at work). Maybe I'll splurge and get it done for my birthday! But it's time to not be so afraid of getting my hair done or it's going to get stagnant and I'm not going to feel good about my hair anymore - just frustrated with it.

As always, thanks for reading and I hope you're having a lovely day! :)
