"Ohhh, alright" by Roy Lichtenstein |
I have decided to pay honour to the red hair I had for three weeks. As a naturally very dark brunette, becoming a flaming redhead for three weeks is no small feat! Especially when there is old black hair dye and bright blue streaks involved. But I did it. Even after three different shades of red, I still couldn't find the exact shade I'd always wanted to try on myself - and after all the bleaching and dyeing my hair couldn't take much more experimenting - so I finally went back to black.
