Hair

I'm about to get random on you here... this post is about hair! 

{I'll tell you why in a minute.}

It's funny because as a teen and young adult, I did just about everything except for perm my hair. 

I went blonde... (orangey-blonde?)

red...

black...

umm... whatever you call this...

I once broke an entire chunk of my hair off because it was so fried. 


Another time, I created some kind of chemical burn and lost more than half of the length, a week before my high school grad! Thanks to the sympathetic hair dresser I still had some hair left and it ended up looking like I had more hair than I really did for my grad night.

Then I tried to grow it out. My hair was natural at the top, with faded black on the ends...

Then I said forget it! And I did different shades of brown...

Then red highlights...

Then when Gavin was only a few months old, I chopped it all off. It was down to the middle of my back and I did this...





The hairdresser was scared. She was probably afraid that I would think it was a huge mistake afterwards and take it out on her. It was a huge shock, but awesome.

And ever since then I haven't coloured, highlighted or otherwise chemically treated my hair. I've gotten trims once or twice a year and that's it. Now it has been three whole years and my hair is finally as long as it was before the chop! 
{thus the reason for this post}

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to dye it again. Although I could do a huge cut again - it sure was nice not finding long hairs all over the house.
Isn't natural hair is so much healthier and cheaper than coloured hair? I love it.
