I just dyed my hair today, as I do about every six weeks. Natural blondes like me often have their hair darken to an when they have a baby. Mine turned a yucky non0descript alomst greyish ash blonde. I haven't seen the real color since my daughter was born, well, because it's awful.

So anyway, I was going for a very dark red, as reds don't stay well. I always do it many shades darker then the cinnamon brown I want, but I must have left the dye on quite a while longer than I should have ... because it was a deep red-ish purple. No worries about that as we know it fades quickly. So I put on bleach to highlight it and then rinsed. I left my hair flat to give it a break from styling products and allow the dye to set better and didn't pay much attention to it until tonight, when I caught sight of my incredibly amazing PURPLE and ORANGE hair in the bathroom mirror. I could be upset, but these happen to be my favorite colors. You can see that it almost perfectly matches the bag I was cutting out tonight. If only it would stay......
