A new year and a new do!

Naturally, my hair is a plethora of colors. There's some browns, some dirty dishwater dingey colors, reds, blondes, even, much to my dismay, grey. Quite a bit of grey actually... Getting old kinda stinks!

I usually get some blond highlights every so often, because I am so NOT about maintenance... I am BAD about maintenance. Lately though my blond just goes brassy and I hate it. I tried my hand at DIY box color, and aside from having a HUNK of hair in my hands when it was said and done, it just washed out too fast and, yet again, went brassy...

I've been peeping out peoples hair color and decided I wanted to go dark... Pretty dark. Drastic dark. I went to some friends salon (love) and the girl asked quite a few times if I was sure... I assured her I was and she confirmed that it was gonna be DRASTIC!

One hour and forty five minutes later, I was colored, cut, blow dried and styled. When she twirled me around toward the mirror, I was stunned. OMG! What a change, but what a GOOD change. I LOVE it! A LOT! I think next time I will get a few face framing highlights in a carmel-y color...

I still do a double take when I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror, but I really do like it. Madison thinks its cool because we match! :) I think I am liking my walk on the dark side!

So here's the new 'do whatcha thank (yes that was said in my mock ghetto voice)?!?
