Last Friday evening, I finally broke down and let my hairstylist color my hair. I was tired of ending up with inconsistent color, auburn when I wanted brown, and glimmers of grey roots every time I did my own color.
It turned out beautiful, shiny and even. One little problem: it’s quite a bit darker than I expected – a dark brown that’s almost black.
I’m very pale, so of course my first impulse was to steer away from black clothing and wear more makeup. The "no black clothes" thing couldn’t last; black is my primary clothing color. I’m already running out of the darkest lipstick color I have, so I’m going to have to make a Target makeup run soon.
As someone who works in a creative industry and plays in a band, there’s certainly nothing stopping me from keeping this haircolor for a while. Still, I always wonder if I’m ranging into "look at that old gal trying to look like a teenager" territory. I guess I’ll just have to trust my friends and sister to let me know when I’ve crossed that line.
