I made the appointment and next Thursday I will have one hair color.  Luckily I found my old friend who is a stylist to do it, and I'm not worried about her wanting to chop my hair off in the process.  (Well, she might want to, but I know she won't).   I asked her if she could use a weaker strength of the color to cause as little damage as possible, and she said she could.  Since my hair is already bleached it won't be hard for it to take the color.  She also said that the stuff they would use will act as a conditioning treatment to some extent also.  I can't wait to see how it will turn out.

I'm going to my now natural color of light brown--ash blonde.   I have to admit I'll miss having blonde, I still kind of think of myself that way, but oh well.

I won't hit you silly!

Red doesn't work well for me long term, and my goal is to never have to dye again, once my ends blend into the rest of my hair.   I wouldn't be able to find a henna mix that would match well enough, and even if I did, I'd mess it up at the application.

Tough decision, but I totally understand.  Once you get your hair close to your natural color, you won't need to worry about it anymore. 

Take before and after pics - we want to see!

So far so good.  I like the color, the ends are still a bit lighter but nothing so obvious.  I've put in several drops of jojoba oil and will see what it feels like in the morning. 

My friend did a good job of working with my hair.  Not as gently as I usually am, but she defintly combed from the bottom up.  She even did a very little trim just to even up the shagginess. 

I'll get pictures up this weekend.
