So, what is that old saying??? Blondes have more fun. I was a blonde from the day I was born, then for some reason my body decided to age on me. Dang! After that extremely fun experience called menopause, my hair darkened considerably, and my son informed me that I could no longer call myself a blonde.*sigh*
So this past weekend I took the plunge. I dyed my hair. I went out and purchased some hair coloring that I thought looked close to what I had been when I was married twenty-one years ago, got up Saturday morning and did the deed. Half an hour later I looked at myself in the mirror and .... YIKES! Who was that?
Time and hormones (or perhaps the lack of such) caused the blonde hair coloring to turn my hair somewhat reddish. Sort of a Strawberry Blonde. Not at ALL what I was expecting.
I've been living with it for five days now and it still startles me to look in the mirror. So I've decided I'm going to live with this for about six weeks and then ..... I think I'll pick a different color and give it a shot again. After all, it's not rocket science. I can play with it and see what happens next. Which color should I try next ..... maybe Raspberry blonde????

I thought it looked so cute! Whatever you decide, good luck getting the look you're going for. I'm impressed that was a DIY job-if I tried that, my nose & ears would turn a new color, too, I'm sure.
Ii loved it; you look great with the reddish blonde!
Yes, I know the plight of losing the blonde. I am now mousy brown!
I am right there with ya. My hair used to be blonde now it just looks dirty all of the time. I didn't get a chance to talk to you Sunday but I really like the new color!
Yes, go for raspberry blonde!! I saw the funniest quote today that reminded me of you it was "Don't make the writer mad. I might put you in one of my books and then kill you off." Ha!
LOVE it!! I think maybe you should try a purple stripe next time, though! ha ha
Didn't get to see it yet, so I will look on Sunday. I am sure it is not as bad as you think it is. My blonde is slowly leave me too. Thank goodness for highlights!
Post pix soon!! I bet you look GORGEOUS!!! Is it true? Do blondes have more fun? I've always been a brunette :)
I can't wait to see your hair. I actually understand the dilemma of the hair thing. My hair used to be a long beautiful dark brown, now it is mostly gray underneath my wonderful hair color. By the way, my daughter can get the good stuff at the Beauty Supply. The advantage of having a cosmetology license!
Thank you for letting your humor get me through a rough week!
