If you look at the photos taken Christmas day (family portrait) you'll see that my hair is brownish. But each day after that it becomes more red. The brown henna I used literally slid off my hair with each hair brushing and shampooing. So by the time of the birthday party my hair was back to being red. Before "Hawaii daughter" flew back to school she colored my hair again. This time it worked, though I still have some reddish highlights.
The decision was an eventful one for me. I decided to look more like my family by matching my daughter's hair color. To me it was a drastic change, and one that hit me emotionally because I had taken great pride in being the one with the Gorgeous Ginger Hair!
Surprisingly very few of my friends have even noticed or commented on it.
I think my skin looks paler... Don't know how long I'll keep this new color.
I miss my red.
This is how my hair looks if allowed to dry naturally without much styling, just comb through, pin the fringe away from my eyes. Then let the rest do what it wants to do as it dries. Some sections curl some sections frizz.
