To dye or not to dye. That is the question.
I have been dying my hair red for the past 2 years. When I was really young, my hair was light, light blonde. As I got older, it got pregressively darker every year until it reached the point of being pukey, boring light brown (not that's there's anything wrong with light brown hair; mine was just really boring looking). When I turned 25, I had just broken up with a long term boyfriend and was in the mood for changing more than just my love life. I had always wanted red hair so I bought some temporary hair dye and dyed my hair auburn. I was terrified but it actually turned out really nice. So nice, I decided to keep dying it auburn.
After awhile, the auburn wasn't red enough for me so I took the plunge and bought some dye called "Intense Red Copper". My hair was RED. At first I wasn't sure about it but I ended up loving the color. So much that I kept using that color. People that met me thought that was my real hair color. I even fooled the people at my salon.
Fast forward to today. I'm getting sick of dying my hair. I love the red but its getting old having to dye it once a month (red fades fast so you have to keep up with it more than other colors). I'd go to the salon and get it done but its just too expensive and I can get just as good results for $8 at home. I started to let my hair grow out a little bit. The red faded to a brown. My roots weren't too noticeable at first. Then, to my surprise, GRAY started to show. GRAY!! I'm 27 years old! And since my hair had mutated to brown instead of blonde, the gray was really noticeable.
I guess that answers the question.
