Time for A New Hair Color!

Dying my hair is pretty much the only "pampering" I do to myself.  I am allergic to make-up, so I really have given up on the hope that I'll get to enjoy it, too as much as everyone else does.  My face turns red and itchy if I put on make-up.  The only ones I get to use are lipstick, lip gloss, eyeliner, and baby powder.  I wish, though, that I can apply anything on my face and not worry about my face turning all red after a few minutes.  I love reading tips on how to put on make-up and stuff.  I still want to learn, though.  If not for myself, then, I'd be happy to try it on my daughter.

Anyway, it's been like 6 months since the last time I dyed my hair.  Tonight, while I was at Walgreens grabbing some items for the kids, I suddenly thought of dying my hair again as I walked past the hair/shampoo aisle.  I stopped for a moment, looked at the different colors, and when I saw one that I never tried before, I grabbed it.  When my hair was long, I usually bought 2 boxes.  But now that it's short, I only need one (I think).  My thing is, I really don't go for just one particular color all the time.  I want to try different ones so I'd know what really looks better on me.  And whatever color I picked, I always go for the lighter one.  I already have dark hair.  I don't need for it to get even darker. (Hehehe.)

I think I've only went to the salon once for a hair dye.  Actually, not my entire hair.  I only asked for highlights and that was when I was 7 months pregnant with our daughter.  Going to the salon here is not that cheap, so I stay practical.  Although I am aware that most of the time, the color you picked doesn't really turn out like the one shown on the box, I really am not worried about it.  As long as I see a little change in my hair's color, I'm all right with that.

I'd probably do it (dye my hair) tonight when everybody's in bed already.  That's the only chance I get to do everything without being bothered.  If not, I think I'll just do it first thing in the morning before the kids wake up.

We'll see how this new color turns out to be.  I like it, but I am not expecting too much change in my hair as it hardly does anything to it.

Oh, well, what can you really expect out of a hair dye from a box that only costs less than $5?
