I finally did it!

I bit the bullet & went back to my natural hair color. It's just too expensive & frustrating to try to keep up with the blond. My hair grows almost twice as fast as the average person it seems. I get over an inch of regrowth in 6 weeks! It's ridiculous! So I went for it. I had Shelly Roper help pick out the color. It's now a warm brown. It's really kinda weird for me since Ive been blond for SOOO long! I darkened it once in college but it didn't go well. :) I always thought I couldn't pull off the darker color because of it. I just did it yesterday & have had a ton of compliments about it. I'm gonna have to get used to it though. I still do a double take everytime I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. It's so different. We put in some highlights to make the transition, but I think they turned out a little too light. They almost look gray & I don't have any gray yet!! Here's the new me!!
I had Reese take the picture with the camera on a tripod. It took 8 trys to get one that didn't chop off some part of my head. Or have me looking retarded. :) She kept bumping it so something was cut off. :) She's so fun. & helpful. Now I gotta go do a makeup makeover so it works with the new look!! Let me know what you think!
