A Hairy Situation

For the past (almost) 25 years of my life, I've been a blackette. (My version of brunette...) But really, there's not a fancy way to put it. Ever since my first grey hair at 15, I've been dying my hair Revlon 2A, the jet black- almost blue black, but not quite (because they do make a blue/purple raven black that I've made the mistake of purchasing once...)

This got boring to me as of late. I mean, look at all the colors out there (excluding Manic Panic's "eccentric" line of "color")...

Truth is... it all started one Halloween a couple of years ago, when someone walked in (a guy) with a blonde wig (sorority girl costume)... and through the randomness of the night I replaced my Indian headdress with his blonde wig... well... It sparked a light in me when my BFF and sis were saying it "actually" looks good on me! <-- lies... haha! I'm so embarrassed to post the pictures... DON'T JUDGE ME! 

don't worry- biker chic has all magnetic jewelry in her  face! :)

 Well, my curiosity finally got the best of my when Ordy had to work really late in France. Me + lots of time online = trouble. Wanna see the ridiculousness I got into that night?? Be prepared to laugh!

So here I BEGIN with black hair...

My natural "signature" curls...

and the random straightened hair look... 

and the "wave" look:

and here we go on this embarrassing journey down "make over Joon" lane... :)

Blonde:

Black but BOB cut: 

Unruly mane: 

Orange?

Sandy Brown:

Platinum Blonde (with protruding clavicles):

One of my personal favorites...

Short blonde- NOT my cup of tea:

Another "orange" to me... love the curls...

Another blonde look: 

A shade lighter than my black... and really short! 

A shade lighter than mine but straight

I had fun going through the different potential looks- I clearly remember Ordy stressing he liked black and would NOT like my hair any lighter... well, last weekend I went about 3 shades lighter (a nutmeg brown) and he hasn't broken up with my- WHEW! haha, good news! 

I don't have any proper pictures of my hair now, but once I do I will post them! They're all grainy cell phone pics (taken in a public bathroom- how random- good lighting maybe?!) but here's one! (It's not much but it's a WORLD of difference to me and my previous PITCH BLACK hair! I'm excited I have a better chance to hide all the grey hair! 

I know you can't tell- but I cut 6 inches off of it too! It's all ONE length now! It still has split ends of course, but it's not as obvious :)
