Time Off and Hair Dye

You may or may not have noticed, but recently I've taken a small break from blogging. I guess I just haven't had anything to say.

I think it's time to get back to it. I enjoy writing. It's fun.

A few weeks ago, I decided I wanted to lighten my hair. I wanted to do it myself (because I'm a cheapskate). Well, I did it; and the color turned out strawberry blonde on me. Apparently my hair just has a reddish tint to it when I dye it. Which makes my face look flushed and/or sickly because I have red tones in my skin.

I left it for a few weeks, trying to get used to it. But this past Friday I decided I'd had enough and went with a different brand of dye. Which made it even MORE red, making me look even MORE flushed.

So I dyed it again today. I *think* I succeeded in toning down the reddish tint, but I'll need to wait and see. If I can't handle how it looks, I'm just going to go darker. That'll make the "grow out" process less awkward (i.e. less horribly visible roots).

I'll let you know how it goes.
