Just in case your wondering...

how my blonde hair got brown, I thought I would share. Let's just start with the Internet. It's a pretty amazing thing. It somehow gives two girls who have never had one ounce of "cosmetelogical (and yes I just made this word up)" training the confidence to walk right in to Sally's Beauty Supply and purchase all the necessities for dying ones hair. I'll give you one guess...that would be me and my colorist aka Kim. And, let me tell you people, this was a two step process. No simple buy a box, mix it up, etc. We had done our research and found that in order to get me anywhere near au natural we would have to first "fill" my blonde with none other than reddish orange dye. This could be scary, and on most days for me, the overly cautious type A, it would be. I don't think anyone has ever used the term, "fly by the seat of your pants" to describe anything about me. But, on this particular day I was, for whatever reason, feeling slightly adventurous and the rest is history. The end result was a little more red and a little less brown than I might have hoped, but no major catastrophes and as I am bound and determined to let my real hair color take over, this seems like it will mask the transition a little better. So without further ado...

Before...

My partner in crime (Don't look too confident)...


the moment where it would've been really easy to FREAK OUT!!!!

there really wasn't much to do but laugh...


Kim managed to capture Carter (who went into a little bit' of shock when she saw me)...

I'm pretty sure her sweet little mind was thinking, "WHAT THE HECK DID SHE JUST DO!?"

I looked like I just stepped out of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...

It seemed like it couldn't get and worse, and luckily it didn't...

Thanks Kimmi, there's no one and I mean NO one else that I would ever let dye my hair!!

Love you!
